Search Franklin County Inmate Records

Franklin County Jail Roster

The local online custody source is the Franklin County Inmate Inquiry, linked from the county Corrections page. It is the practical first stop for current Franklin County jail custody, including people held at the Franklin County Corrections Center after arrest by the sheriff, Pasco Police, Connell Police, Washington State Patrol, or another agency. Research did not locate a login or payment requirement for this roster. The older daily in-custody PDF was found in search results as temporarily unavailable during a record-management migration, so the current inmate-list HTML page is the safer roster channel.

The Franklin County jail roster is not a state-prison locator. It covers local jail custody, short local sentences, and some outside-agency holds. A person sentenced to Washington DOC custody, including someone housed at Coyote Ridge Corrections Center in Connell, should be searched through the Washington DOC incarcerated search. Federal sentenced prisoners use the BOP inmate locator, and immigration detention uses the ICE detainee locator. That split matters because a person can be physically in Franklin County but not listed on the county jail roster.

Use Franklin County Records

Start broad when the name is common or the arrest is recent. Franklin County's public fields support a name search, subject number search, booking number search, in-custody filter, and booking-date range. A booking or subject number from a court file, prior roster result, or phone call can narrow duplicate names. If a new arrest does not appear, the booking may still be in process, the roster may not have refreshed, or the person may be held under a protected or confidential status.

1. Open the Franklin County Inmate Inquiry and search by the person's name first.
2. If the name search returns too many matches, add a subject number or booking number when one is known.
3. Keep the In Custody box selected for current jail custody. Adjust booking dates if the arrest date is known.
4. If the person does not appear, call Franklin County Corrections at 509-545-3549 or use the county public-records request process for jail-register data.

Franklin County Corrections public office hours are Monday through Friday, 9 am to 4 pm, at the Pasco public-safety campus. Sheriff Jim Raymond's office handles sheriff administration at the same N. 4th Avenue campus, and sheriff records can be routed through the Civil and Records Division or the Franklin County public-records portal. Non-emergency dispatch is 509-628-0333, but dispatch should not be treated as a records desk.

Franklin County Search Fields

The roster's verified search fields are useful because they show how Franklin County expects the public to narrow a jail lookup. The accessible public text did not publish wildcard rules, minimum-character rules, or a full sample profile. Use the table as the verified roster-search baseline, and avoid assuming that every field is required.

Franklin County Record Fields

Washington law provides a public baseline even when the online roster does not expose a complete inmate profile. Under RCW 70.48.100, the jail operator must keep a public register with each confined person's name, the hour and date of confinement, the cause of confinement, and the hour, date, and manner of discharge. Other jail records are confidential unless a statutory exception applies. That means a roster entry may be briefer than a full jail file.

A roster charge is not the same thing as a conviction. It may be an arrest cause, warrant basis, hold reason, or booking label. Court filings after prosecutor review are covered separately in court records, and charges can be amended, reduced, added, dismissed, or never filed.

Franklin County Corrections Page

The official Franklin County Corrections page is the county source for the inmate inquiry link, jail address, capacity note, mail rules, money options, visitation schedule, and property-release hours.

The corrections page is useful when the roster alone does not answer a practical question about visits, mail, deposits, or who to call at the jail.

Franklin County Custody Channels

The correct search tool depends on custody type. Franklin County Corrections Center is the local jail for pretrial custody, local sentences, and some outside-agency holds. Coyote Ridge Corrections Center is a Washington DOC prison for sentenced incarcerated people and uses state systems. Federal and immigration custody can overlap with the jail when a person is held locally, but the long-term locator is not the county roster.

Franklin County Jail Facilities

Franklin County has two detention facilities relevant to inmate searches, but only one is the county jail. The Franklin County Corrections Center in Pasco is the primary jail and roster source. Coyote Ridge Corrections Center in Connell is a state prison operated by Washington DOC, so it is searched through DOC rather than the county jail roster.

Franklin County Booking Process

A typical Franklin County booking starts when an arresting agency transports the person to the Franklin County Corrections Center. Intake creates or updates a person record, records identifying information, checks warrants and holds, accounts for property, screens medical and mental-health needs, and makes an initial housing decision. Franklin County says people in the jail have access to medical, mental-health, and dental services, but the public site does not publish a full intake script.

After booking, the jail register or public roster may show the current custody record. The Franklin County Prosecutor's criminal-process page says a jailed suspect must have a preliminary appearance within 72 hours, often the next court day after arrest. At that appearance, charges are read, rights are explained, counsel may be appointed, no plea is entered, and bail or release conditions are addressed. The prosecutor may later file no charges, request more investigation, or file formal charges by Information or Complaint.

Franklin County Jail Visits

Franklin County Corrections publishes in-person visiting by inmate last-name group. Visitors should confirm custody before travel because release, transfer, lockdown, classification, court movement, or a hold from another agency can change access. The county also publishes property-release hours, mail rules, and deposit options on the Corrections page.

Franklin County Mail Money

Mail should be addressed with the offender's first name, middle initial if known, and last name, followed by Franklin County Corrections Center, 1016 N 4th Ave, D-102, Pasco, WA 99301. The sender must include a full first and last name and return address. Franklin County allows regular blue or black ink and warns against address stickers, tape, stickers, crayon, perfume, stains, and similar items that can cause mail to be returned or placed in property. Newspapers and magazines must come from a publisher or vendor. Paperback books may come from Amazon or Barnes & Noble only.

For money, Franklin County accepts money orders by mail at any time. Cash and personal checks are not accepted by mail. The county page links ConnectNetwork for account deposits and iCare for gift packages and fresh meals, and it lists a lobby kiosk in the visitation-area lobby. Phone and video vendors were not verified in the official county text, so no jail phone vendor should be assumed without calling Corrections.
