Find Jail Mugshots in Spokane County
Spokane County jail mugshots and booking photos are kept by Spokane County Detention Services. The agency runs two jails: the main Spokane County Jail downtown and the Geiger Corrections Center west of the city. Both feed into the same online inmate roster. You can search live for current inmates, check bond, and see where each person is housed. Older Spokane County jail mugshots and full arrest files go through the county Public Records Office. This page shows you how to run each search and where to file a formal jail records request.
Spokane County Overview
Spokane County Inmate Roster
The fastest way to find Spokane County jail mugshots is the live roster. The Spokane County Inmate Roster lists every person in custody at both Detention Services facilities. It shows name, booking number, facility (Spokane County Jail or Geiger), a bondable flag, and bond amount. The list can be filtered by the first letter of the last name. Updates run several times each day.
The county also hosts a mirror of the roster at spokanecounty.org/352. Both pages pull from the same dataset. The lookup tool gives booking number, last name, first name, date of birth, release date, and the charges on file. For quick questions on any booking, call the jail information line at 509-477-2278. Hours are Monday through Friday, 7 a.m. to 9 p.m.
Note: The Bondable column tells you whether the inmate can walk once the listed bond amount is posted.
The live inmate roster is the primary Spokane County jail mugshots search tool.
It refreshes many times a day as bookings and releases flow through.

Detention Services and Jail Info
The Spokane County Jail Information page covers Detention Services at both facilities. The main jail is at 1100 West Mallon Ave, Spokane, WA 99260. The Geiger Corrections Center sits at 3507 S. Spotted Road. Bookings, classification, bail, and inmate services all run through these two sites. The booking and classification process, inmate rules, mail, commissary, and medical and mental health services are all explained on the jail info page.
Detention Services also coordinates with the courts. Spokane County Superior Court is located at 1116 W Broadway Ave and handles felony cases. Spokane County District Court at 1033 W Gardner Ave handles misdemeanors. Many people listed on the jail roster have hearings in one of these two courts.
The Jail Information hub covers bail, commissary, and visitation policy.
It is a good starting point if you are not sure which county jail holds an inmate.
Requesting Jail Mugshots
Older booking photos or full arrest files are not on the live roster. You get them through a public records request. The Spokane County Jail Records Release page explains the rules. Under RCW 70.48.100, jail records are held in confidence. For specific inmate info, the Sheriff needs a signed waiver from the inmate or a court order signed by a judge. Valid ID is required when you pick up records.
Formal requests go through the Spokane County Public Records Office. The office uses an online GovQA portal. You can also mail a request to 1116 W Broadway Ave, ATTN: Public Records Office, Spokane, WA 99260. The agency must respond within five business days under RCW 42.56.520. Copy fees are $0.15 per page. Historical requests can take 15 to 30 days.
The broader public records framework sits in RCW 42.56, Washington's Public Records Act. Some records are redacted or withheld under listed exemptions. Juvenile records are confidential.
Use the Public Records Office portal for any formal request.
It handles Sheriff, Jail, and Detention Services records in one place.
Sheriff's Office and Court Records
The Spokane County Sheriff's Office provides law enforcement for the unincorporated county. The office is at 1100 W Mallon Ave, with a non-emergency line at 509-477-2240.

Third Party Deposit Vendors
Detention Services works with several third party vendors for inmate deposits and phone accounts. Access Corrections handles online deposits with a fee of $3.95 to $6.95. The lobby kiosk at the main jail takes cash deposits with a $3.00 fee. Phone deposits go through 1-866-345-1884. Families use these tools to put money on an inmate's books for commissary or phone use. None of these vendors sell Spokane County jail mugshots. They only move money.
The Detention Services site lists the full set of inmate services. Mail and publications rules are posted there. So are food service and commissary policies. Medical and mental health services are covered on the same hub. Inmate rules and grievances sit in the Inmate Handbook.
Community Corrections Programs collaborate with outside partners on reentry services. Inmates serving sentences of 364 days or less may qualify for alternative custody or work release. All of this activity is recorded in the jail file, which becomes part of the public record once a booking photo is released.
