Lemhi Bond Release Contacts
Lemhi County exposes two local roles that help explain a bond-based release even though no online bond schedule was found. County Probation names a Pre-Trial Assistant at 205 Courthouse Drive, while the District Court Clerk lists Bonds, Fines and Court Records among its functions. The court file can show the bond decision and other legal authority. Neither office's entry proves that the jail completed the physical exit.
Use the court case number when asking the clerk about a bond entry. Then ask Lemhi County Jail for the processed release time and disposition. This two-record check keeps a judge's authorization separate from the later custody event and avoids treating an unverified court update as the moment a person walked out.
Lemhi County Release Meaning
A person is released from Lemhi County Jail when the jail processes an authorized departure. That event can follow bond, recognizance, a court order, dismissal, credit for time served, or completion of a county sentence. Yet departure from the Salmon jail does not always mean freedom. The person may instead be transferred to the Idaho Department of Correction, another county jail, a juvenile authority, federal custody, or immigration custody. The release entry should identify the disposition or receiving agency when that detail is public.
Lemhi County has no official online inmate roster, recent-release feed, or booking archive. A name disappearing from a list cannot serve as proof because there is no county list to compare. For the local jail, the strongest evidence is the sheriff's booking and release entry paired with the matching Idaho court event. State prison cases use the IDOC record. Federal and immigration matters use their own systems.
- Time served
- Release after the ordered jail term or credited time is complete.
- Parole
- Conditional community release from an Idaho prison sentence under Commission authority.
- Probation
- Court-ordered community supervision, sometimes imposed instead of more jail time.
- Discharge
- The end of correctional jurisdiction, not merely release from a cell.
Lemhi County Release Types
Each release type points to a different next record. Bond and recognizance usually return a person to the community while the criminal case continues. A dismissal may end the filed charge, though a separate hold can still delay physical release. A sentence to probation creates a community order. Parole follows prison, while a transfer keeps the person in custody under a new authority.
| Disposition | What it means | Best next check |
|---|---|---|
| Bond or recognizance | Community release while the case remains open | Jail release entry and iCourt bond event |
| Time served | County custody term or credit completed | Release entry and judgment |
| Probation | Community supervision ordered by a court | iCourt, county probation, or IDOC as applicable |
| Parole | Conditional release from state prison | IDOC and Commission records |
| Transfer | Custody moved to another agency | Sending and receiving custodians |
| Discharge | Sentence jurisdiction ended | Final IDOC or agency discharge record |
A release order can precede the actual exit. Jail staff may still need to verify the order, clear another warrant or detainer, return property, and complete the entry. The processed jail record supplies the actual time.
Lemhi County Release Record Fields
A precise request should connect the release to its booking and identify the requested fields. The county may redact protected information, and some fields may not exist for every event. Still, naming each item makes it easier for the custodian to locate the right jail entry rather than return a broad set of unrelated papers.
| Field | What it shows |
|---|---|
| Full name and identifiers | Which person the entry concerns |
| Booking number | The link to the admission record |
| Admission date and time | When Lemhi custody began |
| Release date and time | When jail processing ended |
| Release type | Bond, time served, court order, transfer, or another disposition |
| Charges and bond entry | The booking and court context |
| Destination or receiving agency | Whether the person entered another custody system |
| Booking photograph | The image, if maintained and releasable |
The court docket explains the legal basis, but it may not record the minute of physical departure. IDOC fields explain state jurisdiction, but they do not prove a county-only release. Use records from the office that actually held the person.
Request Lemhi County Release Records
Use the Lemhi County public-record request form. Identify the Sheriff's Office or Jail as the department. The county receives requests at 206 Courthouse Drive, Salmon, ID 83467, by email at clerk@lemhicountyidaho.org, or by fax at 208-756-8424. The general request contact is 208-756-2815 extension 1738.
- Give the person's full name and date of birth if known, plus an approximate booking date.
- Ask for the booking number, admission and release times, disposition, destination, charges, bond entry, and photo if releasable.
- Request electronic delivery and a cost estimate before chargeable work begins.
- Ask the custodian to cite the exemption for any redaction or denial.
- Compare the returned entry with the matching court or receiving-agency record.
Under the Idaho Public Records Act, an Idaho resident generally receives a response within three working days or notice of an extension with production within ten working days. The county form says advance payment may be required when estimated labor exceeds two hours or the request exceeds 100 paper copies. County schedules state that qualifying requests receive the first two labor hours and first 100 pages without charge, followed by public-record labor at $25 per hour. The statute and the custodian's estimate control.
206 Courthouse Drive
Salmon, ID 83467
Main: 208-742-1680
Non-emergency: 208-756-8980
Office: Monday through Friday, 7:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
Those office hours are not release-processing hours. The sheriff has not published a release timetable, weekend rule, exit location, or property-pickup process.
Shielded Lemhi County Release Records
Idaho public access has limits. Juvenile records, sealed material, protected identifiers, victim information, medical details, and some investigatory material may be withheld. Idaho Court Administrative Rule 32 governs court records, while the sheriff's jail database falls under public-record law and its exemptions. A missing public court result may reflect sealing, shielding, confidentiality, spelling, or indexing. It does not prove no case existed.
Idaho Clean Slate relief is shielding rather than destruction. An eligible person may petition after completing the full sentence and meeting the required waiting period and offense conditions. The order blocks ordinary public court access but preserves access for the defendant and specified justice-system users. A separate State Police route may remove qualifying fingerprint or criminal-history material after no charge, acquittal, or dismissal. Neither route should be described as automatically erasing every sheriff, court, news, or independent record.
Find Lemhi County Jail Releases
The official Lemhi County web presence offers a jail description and contact details, not a person-level search. There is no documented 24-hour or 72-hour list, booking archive, inmate app, retention window, or update cadence. For a very recent question, call 208-756-8980 and ask whether the person remains in Lemhi custody. If not, ask for the actual release date and whether the event was a community release or a transfer. The Released Last 24 Hours page gives the focused same-day fallback.
- Confirm the correct identity with name, birth date, booking date, or case number.
- Call the jail for current physical status and the disposition.
- Check Idaho VINE for an event reported by a participating agency.
- Review iCourt for bond, dismissal, judgment, probation, or a release order.
- Search IDOC only when the person entered state correctional jurisdiction.
- Submit the written county request when exact release fields are needed.
A transfer ends Lemhi County custody but does not mean community release. Confirm both the sending jail and the receiving custodian.
The official Sheriff page confirms the facility and its operator. The image below shows why the local process starts with contact and records rather than an online person search.

The county page supplies jail facts, but it does not publish a release feed or a booking-photo gallery.
IDOC Lemhi Release Search
The IDOC Resident and Client Search covers people under Idaho correctional jurisdiction. Search by first and last name or IDOC number. A detail record may show “In community,” physical location, supervising district and officer, offense, sentencing county, case number, sentence status, “Released to Supervision,” and “Sentence Satisfaction Date.” IDOC says the data updates daily and may change quickly.
| Search or result field | Use |
|---|---|
| First and last name | Build candidate matches |
| IDOC number | Identify one state record |
| Legal status | Distinguish prison from community supervision |
| Physical location | Check where the person is now |
| Released to Supervision | Shows a state community-release event |
| Sentence Satisfaction Date | Scheduled end of the sentence, subject to change |
An IDOC result cannot prove a release that involved only the county jail. Legal status and physical location can also differ. A client may show “In community” while a county jail appears as the current location because of a new case or violation. Confirm both fields.
The official IDOC search screen displays the lookup and its warning.

The warning supports close-to-event confirmation with IDOC Records or District 7 when a date or status matters.
Lemhi Release Court Check
The Idaho iCourt Portal can explain why a jail record ended. Search Smart Search by a complete case number or party name, then inspect charge, bond, disposition, hearing, judgment, and later-order entries. Useful events include bond, dismissal, credit for time served, probation, commitment, an amended sentence, or satisfaction. A signed order is legal authority, not proof that jail processing finished at that instant.
The Lemhi District Court Clerk holds District and Magistrate files at the county courthouse. Call 208-742-1673 for a specific docket entry that is not downloadable. An in-person public terminal is also identified in the courthouse law library. Pair the order with the release entry when the exact exit matters.
The iCourt search page is shown below.

Court events can persist after a person leaves jail, making the docket a useful explanation when a live custody product has no historical result.
VINE Lemhi Release Alerts
Idaho VINE links participating jail booking systems, IDOC, and court-event data. Use Idaho VINELink or call 866-984-6343. Search one person by name or identification number, verify the reporting agency, and open the correct match. The result can show custody status, agency, location, and event details supplied by that participant. Registration can send a phone or email alert for a release or transfer event.
VINE is a notification bridge, not the official custodian. Near-real-time reporting can lag, and a “released” event may mean release from the reporting agency into another agency's custody. Confirm the event with the sheriff or IDOC. The VINELink Release Check covers one-person matching and notification enrollment.
Lemhi Parole Release Status
IDOC District 7 supervises Lemhi County state probationers and parolees from its Idaho Falls office. A judge imposes probation. The Idaho Commission of Pardons and Parole makes parole and revocation decisions, while IDOC supervises both groups. “Released to Supervision” means confinement ended under conditions. It is not final discharge.
Verify state supervision through IDOC status, the supervising district, and the listed officer. Commission hearing schedules and action notices can add context, but a tentative parole date is not an actual release. Programs, residence, transport, the parole contract, and an approved plan may still control. The final-discharge or Gold Seal process runs through the last supervision district and can take time after the calculated end date.
Getting Home After Lemhi Release
No official source identifies a jail release door, family waiting area, release schedule, or jail-arranged ride. Administrative hours must not be treated as custody-processing hours. Ask the jail when and where pickup is permitted, whether property is ready, and whether another agency will receive the person. Do not assume a court entry establishes the pickup time.
Lemhi Ride offers curb-to-curb public transit in Salmon-area zones. It is not a jail shuttle. Published service runs weekdays from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., with dispatch through 3:00 p.m. at 208-756-1875. Prior-day reservations are recommended, same-day space is not assured, and published fares begin at $2 within Salmon. The weekday limits matter when the jail has not published when releases occur.
Federal Lemhi Release Records
Federal systems apply only when the underlying custody is federal. The BOP Inmate Locator searches federal prison records from 1982 onward. A past release date with “Released” or no current institution means the person is no longer in BOP custody, but it does not prove that every form of supervision or other custody ended. USMS pretrial custody has no matching historical public locator; use the federal docket and the actual holding jail.
The ICE Online Detainee Locator uses an A-number and country of birth or exact biographical details. It is not a permanent archive. A county entry marked as transfer on an immigration detainer can mean ICE assumed custody rather than community release. No source establishes an ICE detention center in Lemhi County, so use the federal channel only when the case or jail response points there.
Lemhi Release System Comparison
The system that owns the event supplies the best proof. Current custody and historical release are separate questions, and a single no-result screen cannot answer both.
| System | What it can confirm | Main limit |
|---|---|---|
| Lemhi Sheriff and Jail | Local booking, release time, type, and transfer | No online roster or release feed |
| iCourt | Legal order, bond, sentence, and disposition | Not the physical exit time |
| IDOC | State custody, community supervision, and sentence fields | No county-only booking coverage |
| VINE | Participating-agency event and alerts | Reporting may lag |
| BOP | Federal prison release date and status | No county or state custody |
| ICE | Matching immigration detention information | Not a permanent release archive |
Lemhi County Release Facilities
The local secure facility is Lemhi County Jail. The wider map also includes systems that can receive or supervise a person after Lemhi custody. IDOC institutions can be anywhere the state assigns; District 7 handles community supervision. Another Idaho county jail may receive a temporary or contract transfer. BOP and ICE records apply only when federal authority is involved.
