Stevens County Overview
Stevens County Jail Roster
The Stevens County Jail Inmate Roster is the main source for Stevens County jail mugshots. The roster is generated at about 4 a.m. and posted once a day between 6 a.m. and 9 a.m. It does not include bookings that come in after 4 a.m. on the posting date. The file is a PDF with inmate details and contact info for the jail at 215 S Oak St, Colville, WA 99114.
Entries on the online roster typically include full name, physical characteristics, mugshots, booking number, booking date and time, detailed charges, bond or bail amount, and scheduled court date. This is the primary method for finding if someone was arrested in Stevens County. Records are updated daily and some are refreshed as often as every 15 minutes during the posting window.
Note: The daily PDF is not searchable in the same way as big county tools, so you may need to scroll through the list for that day.
The Stevens County Sheriff's Jail page is the main hub with links to the roster and inmate services.
It links out to mail rules, commissary, and the roster PDF.

Public Records Timeline
Under RCW 42.56.520, any Washington public agency has to respond to a records request within five business days. The response can be the records, an installment plan for large pulls, a request for clarification, or a reason to hold records back. Stevens County follows the same rule. Small jails with fewer staff may take longer than the five days to actually produce the records, but the initial response has to go out on time.
Fees for copies are tracked in the county fee schedule. You get the exact rate from the records unit. Historical pulls that need deep archive work may take extra days. If you are looking for booking photos tied to an older case, a clear written request with the full name, date of birth, and the approximate date of the arrest is the best starting point.
