Skamania County Jail Roster Overview
The official online roster is the Skamania County Sheriff's Office Daily Population page. It embeds a public Google Sheet instead of a conventional inmate search form. That means the list is browsed or searched with browser find rather than queried by booking number, release date, or charge filters. The sheriff homepage labels it the current daily population, and the sheet inspected on July 2, 2026 showed a current date line and 23 numbered current rows.
The roster covers the Skamania County Correctional Facility and may include people held for local Skamania courts, municipal courts under contract, the Washington Department of Corrections, or other agencies. It does not cover a sentenced state prisoner after transfer to a WADOC prison, a federal inmate in BOP custody, or an immigration detainee in ICE custody unless that person is locally housed at the jail. No official Skamania sheriff inmate or warrant mobile app was found, so use the roster, phone line, GovQA records portal, WA VINE, and state or federal locators.
Use the Skamania County Inmate Roster
The daily population sheet works best when the person may be in current Skamania County jail custody. Have the person's legal name ready. Exact spelling matters because the roster does not provide fuzzy matching, alias search, or profile pages. If the embedded sheet will not load, open the published sheet or CSV view from the iframe and search there.
- Open the SCSO Daily Population page and wait for the embedded roster to load.
- Use browser find for the last name, then compare first name and middle initial.
- Read the full row, including court, class, charge or hold, Arr., Sent., age, sex, date of booking, and time.
- If the row points to DOC, another court, or another agency, confirm whether that hold blocks release.
- If the person is not listed, call SCSO at 509-427-9490 or use the public records portal for older jail records.
The public roster sheet shows how Skamania County inmate records are presented as rows rather than profile pages.
The image is useful because it shows the exact table-style lookup readers must use when checking current custody.
Skamania County Roster Columns
The Skamania County roster has no public search box. The important fields are the visible columns and court abbreviations. Those columns tell readers whether the hold appears tied to Superior Court, District Court, DOC, a municipal court, or another agency. The roster does not define every abbreviation or status flag, so unclear entries should be verified with jail staff before anyone posts bond, travels for a visit, or assumes release is possible.
| Field Label | Type | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Court | Table column | N/A | Codes include S, D, O, CM, WM, BG, DOC, SM, and CCSO, sometimes combined. |
| Class | Table column | N/A | Observed values include felony, gross misdemeanor, misdemeanor, and combinations. |
| Last / First / MI | Table columns | N/A | Name fields are split across three columns. |
| Charge/Hold | Table column | N/A | Free-text custody reason such as FTA, serve time, probation violation, assault, or DOC hold. |
| Arr. / Sent. | Y/N fields | N/A | The public page does not define the flags, so ask SCSO if the meaning matters. |
| Age / Eth / Sex | Table columns | N/A | Basic demographic fields, with ethnicity/race abbreviations not fully defined on page. |
| Date of Booking / Time | Table columns | N/A | Booking date and numeric time for the custody entry. |
What Skamania County Inmate Records Show
The public roster is a jail-register style table, not a complete booking packet. It can confirm current custody and broad hold information, but it does not publish many details that readers often expect from larger jail portals. A bond amount, housing unit, arresting officer, court date, physical description, booking number, release date, and booking photograph were not visible in the public roster reviewed for this build.
| Field | What It Shows |
|---|---|
| Booking number | Not shown on the public Skamania daily population table. |
| Booking date | Shown as Date of Booking, with a separate Time column. |
| Charges | Shown as short Charge/Hold text, which may be an arrest reason, warrant, probation violation, DOC hold, or serve-time note. |
| Bond amount | Not shown. Call the jail or court to verify release terms. |
| Housing unit | Not shown. Classification and housing are handled by jail staff. |
| Custody status | Current roster presence plus Arr. and Sent. Y/N flags, with definitions not posted. |
| Mugshot | Not shown. See the jail mugshots page for booking-photo limits. |
Find County, State, and Federal Inmates
The local roster should not be used as a universal inmate database. It is the right starting point for current Skamania County jail custody. A person sentenced to state prison belongs in the Washington State Department of Corrections search after transfer. Federal custody belongs in BOP systems, and immigration custody belongs in ICE ODLS. WA VINE is a notification service and custody-status tool, not a replacement for the official holding agency.
| Custody | Where to Look | Best Use |
|---|---|---|
| Pretrial or short sentence in county jail | SCSO Daily Population roster | Current local custody and hold reason |
| Sentenced state prisoner | Washington State Department of Corrections locator | DOC number, name, age, and prison location |
| Federal inmate | Federal BOP Inmate Locator | Federal inmates from 1982 to present |
| Immigration detainee | ICE Online Detainee Locator System | ICE custody lookup by A-Number or biographical details |
| Custody notification | VINELink / WA VINE | Notice of custody-status changes where available |
Request Skamania County Jail Records
When the daily roster is too narrow, the next county channel is the Skamania County Public Records Center. SCSO and county pages both route public records requests there. A request should be specific: give the person's full name, the known or estimated booking date, the record type sought, and whether the request is for jail-register information, booking records, incident reports, or another sheriff record. Broad requests can take longer and may draw clarification questions.
Washington law separates the public jail register from the full jail file. RCW 70.48.100 supports public access to basic jail-register details, but it also treats many records of a person confined in jail as confidential unless an exception applies. The Public Records Act response rule in RCW 42.56.520 is a response deadline, not a promise that every requested jail record will be released. Expect redactions or denial for medical, security, juvenile, victim, protected-person, or confidential jail-file material.
The GovQA portal is the documented records-request fallback when Skamania County inmate records are not visible on the roster.
The portal can start the request, but the sheriff or county records staff still decide what can be released under Washington law.
Skamania County Jail Facility
The local facility tied to Skamania County inmate records is the Skamania County Correctional Facility. The Sheriff's Office operates the jail and uses PO Box 790 for mail. The physical corrections address in the research is 200 NW Vancouver Ave, Stevenson, WA 98648. The current sheriff pages do not publish a confirmed bed count, so capacity should be treated as not published unless SCSO confirms it directly.

Mail: PO Box 790, Stevenson, WA 98648
509-427-9490
Female visitation 9:00 a.m.-11:00 a.m.; male visitation 1:00 p.m.-4:00 p.m.; schedule through SCSO.
Booking Process in Skamania County
Booking starts after arrest, court commitment, warrant, transfer, or contract hold. The roster shows that jail staff track the court or agency source, class, charge or hold, arraignment flag, sentenced flag, age, ethnicity, sex, booking date, and booking time. The inmate handbook index confirms intake topics such as property, inmate items, classification, housing assignments, medical services, medication, grievances, discipline, and release.
New bookings should not be assumed to appear instantly because the official page is a daily population list rather than a live booking feed. A very recent arrest may reach the jail before it appears on the sheet or before a court case appears in Washington Courts. If timing matters, call the jail at 509-427-9490 and check the correct court after clerk entry.
Bond questions also need the right office. The public roster does not show bond amounts. For a District Court or municipal warrant, the county criminal cases FAQ says a person may ask the judge to quash a warrant during a District Court week, pay bail by cash or bond and receive a Notice of Hearing, or check into the Skamania County Jail. A DOC hold, Clark County reference, or other agency detainer may prevent release even when a local case has a payment option.
Skamania County Jail Visitation
The sheriff corrections page gives visitation times by custody group and asks visitors to schedule through the jail visitation sign-up link. It does not publish a day-of-week schedule in the visible text captured for this research, so visitors should confirm appointment availability, identification rules, dress rules, and lobby instructions before travel. Court building rules are separate from jail entry rules, but visitors should expect screening and should not bring weapons, contraband, food, drink, or unnecessary property.
| Visitor or Custody Group | Posted Time | Scheduling | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Female inmates | 9:00 a.m.-11:00 a.m. | SCSO jail visitation sign-up | Confirm day, ID, appointment rules, and restrictions before travel. |
| Male inmates | 1:00 p.m.-4:00 p.m. | SCSO jail visitation sign-up | Confirm day, ID, appointment rules, and restrictions before travel. |
| Attorneys or professional visitors | Not published on corrections page | Call jail or court | The handbook index includes professional visiting and attorney visits. |
Contact a Skamania County Inmate
Mail should use the format published by the sheriff: Skamania County Correctional Facility, Attn: inmate name, PO Box 790, Stevenson, WA 98648. Use the person's full name as listed on the roster. Call before sending books, packages, photos, cash, personal checks, or anything altered. The handbook index includes mail requirements, legal mail, incoming and outgoing mail, mailing supplies, and restrictions, but the public build research did not extract every detailed mail rule.
The sheriff links to Inmate Canteen for adding money, ordering commissary, buying phone cards, and sending email to inmates within the facility.
The vendor screenshot belongs with inmate-contact decisions because the sheriff uses that portal for money, commissary, phone cards, and email.
Commissary and Inmate Funds
The SCSO corrections page documents the vendor but does not publish a local fee schedule in the visible research. The inmate handbook index references money accounts, commissary delivery schedule, money deadline, indigent packs, and medical co-pays, but exact amounts were not located. Confirm custody before sending funds. If the person has bonded, transferred, or moved to DOC, the local jail vendor may not be the right account channel.
| Channel | Source | What It Can Do | Fee Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Online vendor | Inmate Canteen / team3.inmatecanteen.com | Add money, order commissary, purchase phone cards, send emails | Not posted on SCSO page; verify at checkout |
| Inmate account | Handbook index | Money account, indigent pack, commissary schedule, medical co-pays | Exact amounts not extracted |
| Phone cards and email | Inmate Canteen | Communication services for inmates in the facility | Vendor terms apply |
Note: Confirm the person is still housed in Skamania County before paying a vendor or scheduling a visit.
