Salt Lake County Jail Inmate Roster - Inmate Lookup Tool

The Salt Lake County Jail provides public access to the jail's current inmate roster through the Inmate Lookup Tool.  The Salt Lake County Sheriff's Office no longer provides public access to booking photographs of individuals booked into the the Salt Lake County Jail.  But information on booking dates, charges, case numbers, and bail amounts is still available through this online tool.

Before bailing a person out from the Salt Lake County Jail, you should consider consulting with an experienced Salt Lake criminal defense attorney.  Other options for release from the Salt Lake County Jail, which may be less expensive than going straight to a Utah bail bond company, can include a request for a bond hearing, bail reduction, or "own recognizance" release, or a release through Salt Lake County Pre-Trial Services.

As an experienced Salt Lake criminal defense lawyer, Stephen Howard can help you understand which option for release from jail may be best for your circumstances.  He also has extensive experience defending criminal cases ranging from homicide to DUI, and virtually everything in between.
