Franklin County Jail Booking Reports

The Franklin County Jail is at 1016 N 4th Ave in Pasco. Phone is 509-545-3549. Sheriff Jim Raymond runs the Sheriff's Office and oversees the Corrections Department. The jail is WASPC accredited, which means it has passed state standards set by the Washington Association of Sheriffs and Police Chiefs. The 320 bed facility houses pre trial and sentenced inmates. It runs alternative sentencing programs for some low level offenders.

Most booking reports start with an arrest by Pasco Police, Connell Police, the Washington State Patrol, or the Franklin County Sheriff. All of those agencies book their arrestees at the same jail in Pasco. That makes the Franklin County booking reports easy to track since the data all lives in one place. Under RCW 70.48.100, the jail roster is a public record open to anyone.

The Franklin County Corrections page serves as the main portal for jail info, visitation rules, and inmate contact.

State law sets the rules for what must be on a jail roster. The name of each person in jail, the hour and date of booking, the cause, and the hour and date of release are all open to the public. Franklin County follows those rules like every other Washington jail.

Franklin County Public Records Requests

Some Franklin County booking reports go past what the public roster shows. Full incident reports, booking photos, dispatch logs, and body cam video need a written request. File the request with the Franklin County Sheriff's Office in Pasco. Under RCW 42.56, the Washington Public Records Act, the agency has five business days to reply. They may give you the records, ask for more info, deny with a reason, or tell you a date the files will be ready.

Some data gets redacted under RCW 10.97, the Washington Criminal Records Privacy Act. That covers juvenile booking records, sealed cases, and certain witness details. Booking photos are usually held back unless they help an active case or the person is a registered sex offender. Paper copy fees run about $0.15 per page. Staff will let you know what you can get and what must stay closed.

If you want a court record tied to a Franklin County booking, those come from the County Clerk, not the Sheriff. The Clerk keeps filings, orders, hearing notes, and judgments. Use the booking number to tie the jail data to the court file.

How to Find a Franklin County Inmate

Start with a full legal name. Pasco Police or the Franklin County Sheriff book the person at 1016 N 4th Ave. The jail staff enter the name and charges into the system. Once that is done, the booking shows up on the roster. New bookings may take a few hours to appear. If you cannot find a name, call the jail at 509-545-3549 to confirm.

Here are the steps to pull a Franklin County booking report:

• Search the Franklin County jail roster by last name
• Note the booking number and date
• Check the current charges and bail info
• Call the jail to confirm visits or bail
• File a records request for older files

For state prison data, use the Washington DOC inmate search. That tool covers everyone held in a state prison, which is a different system than the Franklin County Jail.

Franklin County Booking Reports and Court Records

Booking reports tie into the wider court system. Every booking that leads to charges shows up on the Franklin County Superior Court or District Court docket. Cross check a booking number against court records on the Washington Courts public case search. That gives you the case number, hearings, and judge.

Pasco Municipal Court and Connell Municipal Court also handle some city level misdemeanor cases. A city court case may still tie back to a Franklin County Jail booking if the person was held overnight. The booking number is the bridge between the arrest and the court file. Use it to cross reference and confirm you have the right person and the right case. The Franklin County booking reports work best when you pair them with the court file.

Cities in Franklin County with Booking Reports

Franklin County is home to Pasco, Connell, Mesa, Kahlotus, and a few smaller towns. Pasco is by far the biggest city and feeds most of the bookings. Pasco Police book at the Franklin County Jail. Connell Police do the same. The Washington State Patrol also brings arrestees to the county jail from I-182 and Highway 395. All of those end up on the same Franklin County booking reports roster.

Note: Any arrest in Pasco, Connell, or unincorporated Franklin County shows up on the same jail booking database.
