Contact and Location Information
How to Find an Inmate at Kitsap County Juvenile Detention Facility
Juvenile custody information is often more restricted than adult jail information in Washington. When a roster is available, it typically lists the person’s name, booking date, charges or allegations, and custody status, but some juvenile records may not be shown publicly. New bookings usually take several hours to process, so a person may not appear in the system immediately after arrival. Use the official inmate search link on this page for the facility’s roster, and contact the facility or juvenile court directly if the youth is not listed or if you are a parent, guardian, or attorney needing case-specific information.

Juvenile detention facilities may have limited commissary or approved personal items, depending on local rules. Families should contact the facility to ask whether money can be deposited and what items, if any, are available.
How is bail set and how do I post bond at Kitsap County Juvenile Detention Facility?
For juveniles, release is usually decided by the juvenile court through a detention hearing or court order rather than a standard adult cash bail process. Contact the juvenile court clerk, the assigned attorney, or the facility for current release instructions.
What happens during the intake process at Kitsap County Juvenile Detention Facility and when will the inmate appear in the system?
During intake, staff confirm identity, record case information, screen for safety and medical needs, and assign housing. Processing can take several hours, and records may not appear in any searchable system right away, especially because juvenile information may be restricted.
