How Stevens County Booking Reports Work

State law sets the open parts of any Stevens County booking reports. Per RCW 70.48.100, the jail must keep open the inmate name, the time and cause of confinement, and the time and manner of release. Other items in the inmate file may stay private under RCW 10.97 and the public records exemptions in RCW 42.56.

The county uses the VINE tool for victim alerts. VINE sends notice when an inmate's status changes. That way a victim or family member knows about a release or a transfer. Sign up on the VINELink website or call the toll-free number.

Note: most jail rosters in Washington show only current custody. Released inmates drop off the list right away. To pull a record on a person no longer in custody, file a public records request with the Sheriff or the Clerk.
