Umatilla County Corrections Facility Inmate Lookup

Umatilla County Corrections Facility Overview

Umatilla County Corrections Facility, also called Umatilla County Jail or UCJ in county materials, is operated by the Umatilla County Sheriff's Office Corrections Division. The facility sits on the sheriff's Pioneer Place campus in Pendleton and handles local adult custody for the county. Its population includes pretrial detainees, people serving local jail sentences, warrant arrests, probation and parole violations, and adults waiting for transport to court, medical care, another jail, or another detention facility.

The facility is not the right lookup source for sentenced Oregon Department of Corrections prisoners at Eastern Oregon Correctional Institution or Two Rivers Correctional Institution. Those prisons are physically in Umatilla County, but they are state facilities. A person who has moved from the jail into DOC custody should be searched through Oregon Offender Search instead of the county roster. For current local custody, start with Umatilla County jail inmate records and then verify details with jail reception if release, visiting, or transport timing matters.

The county describes the jail as a staffed adult correctional facility with corrections deputies, civilian support staff, sergeants, a lieutenant, contracted medical providers, mental health services, addiction-treatment support, and other programs. The county names Captain Kenny Franks as jail commander. County materials also report that the jail received Oregon State Sheriffs' Association accreditation in December 2024, which places the facility within Oregon jail standards and inspection practices rather than an informal local holding cell model.

Umatilla County Corrections Facility Capacity and Population

Published county figures give three useful ways to understand the facility. The jail page says the facility processed more than 3,700 intakes in 2024 and had a 2024 average daily population of 175 adults in custody. A county court-security source says the jail can hold more than 250 inmates at a time. Those figures do not mean the same thing: intakes are admissions over the year, average daily population is a daily operating average, and capacity describes how many people the jail can hold at one time.

Research also inspected the Citizen RIMS count endpoint on June 25, 2026 and found 164 current incarcerated people. That was a live roster count, not a permanent capacity number. Because jail populations change with arrests, releases, court orders, transfers, and sentence starts, a roster count should be treated as a snapshot. The official county figures are better for general scale, while the roster and jail phone line are better for current custody questions.

How to Look Up an Inmate at Umatilla County Corrections Facility

The correct online lookup for this jail is the Umatilla County Sheriff's Office Citizen RIMS Incarcerated People module at https://ucso.citizenrims.com/incarcerated-people. Use the Incarcerated People module for current county jail custody. Do not rely on the Arrests module if the question is whether someone is still in jail, because recent arrests and current custody are not the same record set.

1. Open the Citizen RIMS Incarcerated People module for the Umatilla County Sheriff's Office.
2. Search by name and review matching current jail records.
3. Confirm that the result is associated with Umatilla County Corrections Facility and not a state DOC prison.
4. Open the profile to review booking number, booking date, custody status, charges, arresting agency, and any listed bail or security amount.

If the roster does not answer the question, call jail reception during business hours. The roster is useful for current custody, but staff can clarify visiting scheduling, release processing, property questions, and whether a person has been moved for court, medical care, or transfer. For sentenced state prisoners, use Oregon Offender Search. For federal or immigration custody, the research did not identify a BOP or ICE facility in Umatilla County, so use the federal BOP or ICE locator only when facts point to those systems.

Umatilla County Corrections Facility Address and Contact

Use the Pioneer Place address for jail reception, visitation scheduling, and local custody questions. Do not go to the Umatilla County courthouse in Pendleton or the Hermiston court location for jail visits or inmate pickup questions. Court records and jail custody records are connected after an arrest, but the jail and the circuit courts are different offices.

Visiting Someone at Umatilla County Corrections Facility

County jail visits are scheduled through jail reception and may be scheduled up to one week in advance. The published visiting days are Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday, excluding holidays. Visitors should call before traveling because holiday closures, housing moves, discipline, medical needs, court transport, or security conditions can change whether a visit occurs. The county frames visitation as a rehabilitation and public-safety tool, but scheduling is still controlled by jail reception.

Mail, Phone, and Money at Umatilla County Corrections Facility

Regular jail mail is not mailed straight to the Pendleton jail address. Umatilla County uses ViaPath for mail processing, and the mail address must include the jail name, the inmate name, and the booking number. Books have a different rule and must be sent directly from a vendor to the jail. For phone calls, voicemail, deposits, and tablets, the county identifies ViaPath Technologies and GettingOut as the service system.

Because phone and deposit systems are vendor-operated, confirm fees before paying. A booking number is especially important for mail and account deposits because names can be similar and roster data can change after release or transfer.

Booking and Intake at Umatilla County Corrections Facility

An arrest in Umatilla County may be made by the sheriff's office, a city police department, Umatilla Tribal Police, Morrow County authorities, or a supervision agency. The person may then be booked at Umatilla County Corrections Facility, where the jail creates a booking record with a booking number, booking date and time, original arrest information, arresting agency, custody status, charge information, and any listed bail or security amounts.

Booking records are operational records, not final court judgments. Charges can be amended, dismissed, replaced by prosecutor filings, or handled through a court case after arraignment. The sheriff's court security and transport material also shows that adults in custody may be moved between the jail and courtrooms, Oregon State Hospital, medical services, other jails, or detention facilities. That is why a person can appear on a roster and still be unavailable for a visit at a particular moment.

About Umatilla County Corrections Facility

The jail's published services include 24-hour medical care, mental health medications and counseling, addiction treatment services, and programs delivered by jail staff and contracted providers. Program material names in-patient alcohol and drug treatment, anger management, religious services, youth outreach tied to alcohol and drug education, and leadership tours for students interested in future public-safety careers. Corrections deputies work under Oregon certification and annual training expectations, while civilian staff and supervisors support the jail's daily operation.

Umatilla County's custody map is unusual because the county has one local sheriff-run jail and two state prisons. The practical distinction matters. A person at Pioneer Place is in county jail custody and should be searched through Citizen RIMS. A person serving a state prison sentence at EOCI or TRCI should be searched through Oregon Offender Search. For families, that difference controls visitation rules, mail routing, phone accounts, money deposits, release information, and which agency can verify custody.
