Find Jail Mugshots in Asotin County

Asotin County does not keep a live online inmate roster. To find a person in custody, call the jail at 509-758-1668 and give the full name. Staff can confirm if that person is booked and can give you a rough release date. The jail does not post booking photos on the public site. Mugshots are still public under state law. You can get them through a written public records request to the sheriff's office.

State law under RCW 42.56 governs these requests. The agency must respond within five business days. That rule comes from RCW 42.56.520. Fees may apply for copies. For criminal history data, use the rules under RCW 10.97, which spell out what the public can see and what stays sealed.

Details to include in an Asotin County mugshot request:

• Full name of the person
• Date of birth if you have it
• Approximate booking date
• Case number if known
• Your return mail or email

Note: Sealed files, juvenile cases, and records tied to ongoing investigations may be held back or redacted before release.
