Lewis County Jail Roster Status
No official Lewis County online jail roster was located in the research file. That is the central fact for Lewis County inmate records. The Idaho Sheriffs' Association jail directory lists Lewis County Jail at 510 Oak St., Room 5, Nezperce, with Sheriff Jason Davis, rated capacity 12, average daily population 8, and the operating note that the jail is currently closed. A current inmate search should therefore not begin with a missing web roster. It should begin with the sheriff's office and a clear question about where the person is held.
The official sheriff page at Lewis County Sheriff's Office gives the local records process for law-enforcement incident reports. Requests begin with a records request form, then go to the Prosecutor's Office for review and approval, with a usual wait of three business days. That process can matter for past inmate records, booking-related reports, and incident reports, but it is not the fastest way to confirm current custody.
The nearby Nez Perce County In Custody page is the most developed active roster-style source found near Lewis County. It links a PDF, says juveniles are not included, warns that the database updates every 24 hours, and states that status can only be confirmed by phone or in person. No official Lewis County-to-Nez-Perce housing contract was located, so use Nez Perce as a practical fallback after Lewis County confirms a transfer or regional housing lead.
Use Lewis County Jail Records
Because there is no located Lewis County roster form, the lookup process is a call-and-confirm workflow. Have the person's full name, date of birth if known, arrest date, and arresting agency ready. Ask short, specific questions. The goal is to learn whether Lewis County has the person, released the person, sent the person to court, transferred the person to another jail, or has no current custody record.
- Call Lewis County Sheriff's Office at 208-937-2447 and ask if the person is currently in Lewis County custody.
- Ask whether Lewis County Jail is housing inmates or whether the jail closure means another facility is used.
- If a transfer occurred, ask for the receiving jail name, booking number, phone number, and public roster link if one exists.
- Search Idaho iCourt for court charges if the arrest has moved into a court case.
- Use IDOC, BOP, ICE, or VINE only when the custody type points to state, federal, immigration, or notification records.
Do not rely on a name match without confirmation. Small counties, transferred detainees, and delayed PDF updates can make a record look stale or incomplete. A booking record also differs from a court case. Booking data tells who was taken into custody; iCourt shows the charges and case events that follow a prosecutor filing.
Lewis County Search Fields
The research located a field table for several systems, but not for a Lewis County online roster. Use the table to choose the right system. The absence of a Lewis County field does not mean no public record exists. It means the record must be requested or confirmed by phone, in person, court search, state locator, or a receiving facility.
| Record System | Field or Tool | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Lewis County jail roster | No online form located | n/a | Use phone, in-person, and public-records request channels. |
| Nez Perce In Custody | PDF link | n/a | No search fields on page; open PDF and call 208-799-3132 to confirm status. |
| Idaho iCourt Smart Search | Record number or name | Conditional | Name prompt uses Last, First Middle Suffix format. |
| IDOC Resident/Client Search | Last Name | Yes if not using IDOC number | Partial last name allowed with at least two characters. |
| IDOC Resident/Client Search | IDOC Number | Yes if not using last name | Partial number allowed with at least three digits. |
| BOP Inmate Locator | Name or number | Conditional | Number types include BOP, DCDC, FBI, and INS numbers. |
| ICE Locator | A-number or biographical search | Conditional | Under-18 detainees cannot be searched. |
Lewis County Inmate Profile
No Lewis County public roster profile was located. The Nez Perce County page links a PDF, and the research could not extract reliable text from that PDF. The page text and commissary page support only limited field statements. Treat the inventory as a cautious record checklist, not a promise that each field appears on every public list.
| Field | What It Shows |
|---|---|
| Name | Identifies the person on the custody record or deposit workflow. |
| Name Number | A local identifier mentioned by Nez Perce for Smart Deposit. |
| Booking Date | Not verified from extracted PDF text. |
| Charges | Not verified from the PDF; use iCourt for filed court charges. |
| Bond | Not verified; call the holding facility or court. |
| Mugshot | Not verified; do not assume booking photos are public online. |
| Juvenile Status | The Nez Perce page says juveniles are not included. |
The Nez Perce in-custody screenshot shows a PDF-based custody channel rather than a searchable Lewis County roster.
Use the PDF as a lead, then use the detention phone line for current status because the source itself warns that online data can lag.
Lewis County Custody Levels
The biggest mistake in inmate records research is searching the wrong custody level. A new arrest may not appear in IDOC. A sentenced felony may not appear in a county jail roster. A federal defendant may move through U.S. Marshals custody before any BOP facility appears. ICE custody has its own locator and age limits. Match the record system to the case stage before assuming no record exists.
| Custody | Where to Look | Best Use |
|---|---|---|
| Local arrest or booking | Lewis County Sheriff's Office | Current custody, release, transfer, and records request routing. |
| Nearby jail housing | Nez Perce County Adult Detention Center | In-custody PDF and phone confirmation when Lewis County points there. |
| Court charge record | Idaho iCourt and Lewis County District Court | Filed charges, hearings, warrants, payments, and sealed-record limits. |
| Sentenced state custody | Idaho Department of Correction | Prison, probation, parole, IDOC number, status, and supervision detail. |
| Federal custody | Federal Bureau of Prisons or U.S. Marshals context | Federal prison records and pretrial federal custody routing. |
| Immigration detention | ICE Online Detainee Locator | ICE custody or CBP custody held more than 48 hours. |
Lewis County Jail Facilities
Lewis County inmate records may involve the local sheriff's office or a nearby jail. The facility map includes the Lewis County Jail as the primary county jail entry and Nez Perce County Adult Detention Center as the practical regional channel because it has active official custody information. The map does not prove that every Lewis County arrestee is held in Nez Perce County. It gives a researched fallback path when Lewis County confirms out-of-county housing.

Lewis County Booking Process
Lewis County-specific booking procedures were not published in the located sources. Use the general Idaho county-jail path carefully. After an arrest, the person is taken to the facility accepting Lewis County arrestees. Because Lewis County Jail is listed as closed, that facility may need to be confirmed by phone. Intake normally includes identity checks, authority checks, property handling, contraband screening, medical or mental-health screening, classification, housing assignment if custody continues, and a court appearance or bond-setting process when allowed.
For Nez Perce County, the official Adult Detention Center page says people entering the facility may be searched for contraband or weapons and may be subject to a body scanner. The in-custody page says the database updates every 24 hours. That timing can hide a very recent booking, release, or transfer, which is why phone confirmation remains part of the custody chain.
Lewis County Visitation Rules
No active Lewis County Jail visitation schedule was located. The jail is listed as closed, so do not try to schedule or appear for a Lewis County jail visit without first calling 208-937-2447. If Lewis County identifies Nez Perce County as the holding facility, that facility's official rules apply.
| Facility | Schedule | Type | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Lewis County Jail | Not published in located sources | Not confirmed | Call first because jail is listed as closed. |
| Nez Perce County Adult Detention Center | 7 days a week, 8:00 AM to 9:00 PM | Remote video | Use inmatesales.com or app; staff do not schedule visits. |
| Nez Perce onsite friends/family visits | Not available | n/a | Official page says onsite visitation is no longer facilitated for friends and family. |
| IDOC prison visiting | Facility-specific after approval | In-person or facility process | Application and background check usually take two to four weeks. |
Contact a Lewis County Inmate
Mail, phone, and money rules depend on the holding facility. Lewis County did not publish current jail mail rules or a commissary vendor in the located sources. Nez Perce County published detailed mail and video-visit rules, and IDOC published separate mail and money-deposit rules for sentenced residents. Do not send money or mail until the holding agency and inmate identifier are confirmed.
| Channel | Lewis County | Nez Perce / State Detail |
|---|---|---|
| Personal mail | Not located | Nez Perce personal mail uses Inmate Name - Inmate ID, Nez Perce County Jail ID, PO Box 76550, Highland Heights, KY 41076. |
| Legal mail | Not located | Nez Perce legal mail uses the inmate name and ID plus the 1150 Wall Street facility address. |
| Video visits | Not located | Nez Perce uses inmatesales.com or its app. |
| State prison mail | Not county jail mail | IDOC allows letters and photos, but not packages; publications must come from approved sources. |
