How Are Inmate Records in Utah Created and Stored?
Utah inmate records begin when someone is arrested for a crime in the state. The arresting officer fills out a RAP sheet which contains the offender’s name, address, phone number, physical description, and crime details. The inmate is then booked and held for a hearing. They may be released on bail or bond, but everything that occurs is documented and kept in the file. These inmate records are updated daily by the Utah Department of Corrections . They are the government agency in charge of inmate records, and they keep them online and searchable in a database. This way, anyone can perform an inmate offender search at any time of night or day.

The state of Utah has ten state prisons. Each has a different focus, different levels of custody, and a different demographic. One houses women prisoners only. The Utah Department of Corrections is the government entity in charge of all inmates housed in state-run facilities. These state prisons house felons that are sentenced to long-term prison stays. Utah has no federal prisons within state boundaries. They do have eleven juvenile detention centers that house youth offenders from 12-17 years old. All juvenile facilities are managed and operated by the Utah Department of Human Services, Juvenile Justice Services Division. The state also has nineteen county jails that hold not only pretrial detainees but also some short-stay prison inmates farmed out from state prison.

Utah County Jails
Utah also has nineteen county jails. These jails are typically run and operated by the local county Sheriff’s Office. However, the state prisons will sometimes farm out inmates to local jails to hold them for short-term sentences rather than keep them in prison. The purpose of this is to control overcrowding.

How to Search for County Jail Inmates
The process for finding someone in a Utah County Jail is different than finding a state prison inmate. All local county jails are operated by the local Sheriff’s Office, and therefore anyone looking to find a jail inmate must contact the Sheriff’s Office where the person was arrested. Some of these counties and Sheriff’s Offices have websites of their own with inmate offender search features or listings of current jail inmates.
Utah Juvenile Detention Centers
The state of Utah has two types of programs for youth offenders. First, they have “home detention,” which is supervised juvenile detention, but the child gets to stay home. This program is only available to low-risk offenders age 12-17. Plus, a responsible adult must agree to take responsibility for the youth. The other program consists of 11 juvenile detention centers which house high-risk offenders for long-term incarceration. This is referred to as “locked detention.” Both programs put an emphasis on ongoing education and rehabilitation, along with punishment for the crimes committed.
Juvenile Population in Custody During 2011-2016 years
| 2011 | 2012 | 2013 | 2014 | 2015 | 2016 | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Total | 1 | 2 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 0 |
| Male | 1 | 2 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 0 |
| Female | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
How to Search for Juvenile Detention Center Inmates
Juvenile records are not available to search online. The state keeps them private until the offender reaches the age of 18. At that time, the inmate may apply to have their records expunged. Therefore, anyone looking to find an inmate in a juvenile detention center in Utah must contact either the Utah Department of Corrections or the facility itself and inquire about the specific individual. Friends and family will be provided visitation and other types of access more easily than a stranger.
Why are People Incarcerated in Utah?
About 14,000 people are incarcerated in the state of Utah. Of those, only 6,500 are in state prison, 5,700 reside in local jails, 1,300 are in federal prisons outside the state, 450 are in juvenile detention, and 100 are located in mental institutions receiving treatment. Almost 47% of the inmates in Utah have committed non-violent crimes. The second-highest number of inmates are incarcerated in Utah due to property crimes, then drug charges and then violent crimes like murder, rape, and burglary.
Utah’s Incarceration Rate and Statistics
Utah’s incarceration rate for year-end 2016 under state prison or local jail jurisdiction per 100,000 population was 201, which is lower than an average incarceration rate by 55%. The number of Utah prisoners at the year-end of 2016 was 6,182, from which 7% were female prisoners, whereas the number of male prisoners was 5,777 in 2016.
| 2011 | 2012 | 2013 | 2014 | 2015 | 2016 | 2017 | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Total | 243 | 242 | 242 | 237 | 215 | 201 | 206 |
| Male | 440 | 437 | 436 | 427 | 393 | 373 | 377 |
| Female | 43 | 45 | 46 | 45 | 34 | 26 | 32 |
Where Do Utah Inmates Go When They are Released?
Although Utah has a variety of state-run prison facilities, none of them are designed for reentry or transitioning from inmate status to freedom. Therefore, all released Utah prisoners will simply return back home to family and friends. The prisons, however, do provide ongoing treatment for sex offenders and offer life skills training, job assistance, education, and substance abuse help while inmates are incarcerated.
How Does Parole Work in Utah?
The Utah parole board is the entity in charge of monitoring all inmates and their progress. Once they feel that an inmate has served enough time, is rehabilitated and does not pose a threat to society, they may release them early on parole. Parole is a supervisory program, which means the inmate can go home but must follow strict rules including regular check-ins with a parole officer, get a job, and find housing. If they fail to meet any of these requirements, the inmate will return to prison for the remainder of their sentence.
Parole Population
| Type of Parole Entry: | Number of Parolees: |
|---|---|
| State Parole Population: | 3,707 |
| Entries: | 2,640 |
| Exits: | 2,435 |
| Change in 2016: | 5% |
How Does Someone Get Probation in Utah?
Sometimes Utah judges see fit to order probation rather than send an offender to prison. If the offender is low-risk or a first-time offender, this option makes sense and helps to alleviate prison overcrowding. The offender can remain free but must follow court-ordered rules. If they fail to check-in with their probation officer or violate any of the other rules, they will immediately go to prison.
Probation Statistics
| Type of Parole Entry: | Number of Parolees: |
|---|---|
| State Probation Population: | 12,229 |
| Entries: | 5,616 |
| Exits: | 5,551 |
| Change in 2016: | 0% |
