Juab County Jail Inmate Search
Juab County Inmate Search: Custody and Family Contact
For a Juab County custody question, the local starting point is the Juab County Jail, 425 West Sheep Lane Drive, Nephi, UT 84648. This page covers finding a person, obtaining booking records and arranging family contact. Use Juab County custody information alongside the arrest paperwork so a similar name does not send you to the wrong case.
After using Juab County custody information, choose the right contact method: ordinary letters go to Kentucky, not to the Nephi jail address. Family visits use scheduled video, and incoming jail calls are not transferred to inmates. Those practical details appear below, together with court contacts, a public-defender application route, warrant searches and the steps for federal, state or immigration custody.
Call the number published by the Sheriff, then choose option 2 for the jail. Have the person’s name and date of birth available and ask about present custody, a booking identifier and the current release order. For the next task, our bail instructions explain release payments, and the court guide identifies the clerk handling the case.
1. How can I locate someone held in Juab County?
Use Juab County custody information with identifying details from the arrest paperwork. For a direct inquiry, telephone the number published by the Sheriff and select option 2. The Juab County Jail is at 425 West Sheep Lane Drive, Nephi, UT 84648. Ask whether the named person is there now and what identifier belongs to that booking.
Record the answer and the time of the call. Keep the arresting agency’s incident number apart from the jail identifier and the court case number; use each when speaking to the office that issued it. Ask the arresting agency about the destination if custody remains unclear.
↑ Back to the question list2. What should I do when a name search finds nothing?
Go back to the agency that made the arrest and ask what happened next: booking, release or transfer. Give the arrest location and date, not just a common name. A blank search does not identify the current holding agency and should not be the reason to send a payment to someone claiming to help.
If the agency identifies this jail, reach the number published by the Sheriff, option 2, and request the current custody information. If a different facility is named, obtain its exact name and contact details before arranging a visit or correspondence.
↑ Back to the question list3. Which address is the jail, and which is Sheriff office mail?
The jail and Sheriff’s Office are at 425 West Sheep Lane Drive, Nephi, UT 84648. The shared main number is the number published by the Sheriff; choose option 2 for detention staff. The Sheriff’s office mailing address is P.O. Box 133, Nephi, UT 84648. That box is also the destination for an attorney’s letterhead request to the Jail Administrator about free attorney calls.
Do not use the office box or street address for ordinary inmate letters: the published correspondence address is in Highland Heights, Kentucky. The letter and attorney-contact answers below separate those uses so documents reach the intended service.
↑ Back to the question list4. How can a family register for custody notifications?
The Utah Attorney General identifies VINE as the state’s free automated custody-notification service. On Utah VINELink, choose the matching person and register for telephone or email messages about release, transfer or escape. The service’s registration number is 877-884-8463.
Use a telephone number or email account where the notifications can reach you, and retain the identifying details for the record selected. Notification registration does not arrange a jail visit or a release payment. Those questions go to the detention staff at the number published by the Sheriff, option 2.
↑ Back to the question list5. How do I ask about release and avoid a false payment demand?
Ask detention staff at the number published by the Sheriff, option 2, for the operative release condition, any amount payable, the court involved and any other holds. Request the receiving office’s instructions before choosing a payment method. Our Juab County bail page distinguishes jail-official authority, judicial conditions and surety fees.
Contact the office independently when an unexpected caller demands money; do not rely on the number or link that caller supplies. An account credit is not proof that a court condition has been met. Keep the receipt with the case papers and ask what, if anything, remains before release.
↑ Back to the question list6. Where can I read the filed charges and hearing history?
Xchange is Utah’s public district and justice court case search. The summaries show filings, hearing entries, judgments and case outcomes; public district document images can be purchased. Use the case number rather than relying on a name match when asking for a particular filing.
A court case record and a jail custody inquiry serve different purposes. Xchange excludes sealed and expunged matters and juvenile delinquency cases. The Juab County court contacts identify which clerk to approach when a public summary does not answer the question about a proceeding.
↑ Back to the question list7. Can I request a booking photograph or arrest report?
For Sheriff records, including photographs and reports, contact Records at the number published by the Sheriff, option 3, at 425 West Sheep Lane Drive, Nephi, UT 84648. Published Records hours are Monday–Friday, 8 a.m.–5 p.m., excluding holidays. Describe the particular image or incident; do not assume that a custody lookup includes a mugshot. Media inquiries also go to the agency holding the requested record, subject to access and privacy rules.
For a Nephi Police record, reach 42 East 200 North, Nephi, UT 84648; 435-623-1626. Its policy requires a signed, notarized release for a request on another person’s behalf. U.S. Marshals do not disclose federal-prisoner photos publicly. Immigration records requests follow ICE’s FOIA process.
↑ Back to the question list8. How can the defendant apply for a public defender?
Both local Justice Courts direct applicants to complete the entire three-page Declaration of Financial Status and return it to jcjuab@utcourts.gov. The judge reviews the application and the court notifies the applicant whether the case qualifies. The form asks about income, dependents, expenses, assets and debts; it is a request for appointed counsel, not an automatic appointment.
The shared Justice Court street location is 160 North Main Street, Suite 217, Nephi, UT 84648. County questions go to 435-623-3440; city questions to 435-623-1263. District defendants should address counsel at the Rule 7 first appearance.
↑ Back to the question list9. How does a lawyer arrange jail calls or a legal visit?
An attorney of record can request free inmate calls by mailing a letter on letterhead to Juab County Sheriff’s Office, Attn: Jail Administrator, P.O. Box 133, Nephi, UT 84648. The letter must list every receiving telephone number. A new request is needed if the lawyer changes or adds numbers; the service can also be disabled by a letter identifying the numbers.
Attorney visits are listed daily from 9 a.m.–9 p.m., except meals and headcount, with documentation of professional status. Give counsel the case information and let the lawyer arrange the appropriate legal contact rather than discussing confidential facts during a monitored family video visit.
↑ Back to the question list10. How do I book a family video visit?
All family visits use video. Register through the jail’s visiting service or lobby kiosk with a state-issued license or ID, schedule at least 24 hours ahead and wait for the acceptance message. The published daily periods are 8–11 a.m., 1–4 p.m. and 6–9 p.m., including remote visits on holidays. Family remote visits are listed at $7 per 15 minutes, with promotional rates possible.
Read the visiting instructions before scheduling; registration help is 844-458-2488. State Corrections inmates have a separate Saturday/Sunday appointment and visitor-application process, so ask which arrangement applies before booking a slot.
↑ Back to the question list11. Who can visit, and what restrictions apply?
For on-site visits, at most three people may attend together, including children. Visitors aged 12–17 must come with a family member aged 21 or older unless the visitor is a spouse; an under-18 spouse needs a marriage license and photo ID. On-site visitors aged 16 or older must show photo identification. Children must be accompanied and supervised, and visitor warrant checks are performed.
The on-site rules bar visitors on probation or parole. A booking in this jail within the past two years also bars those visits, with specified immediate-family exceptions. Dress modestly for video visits; leave restricted items such as cameras, weapons and tobacco outside the visiting area. Inappropriate behavior can end a monitored visit.
↑ Back to the question list12. What should I ask before depositing inmate money?
Tell the jail what the payment is meant to cover: inmate purchases, a communication account or a release condition. At the number published by the Sheriff, option 2, request the accepted channel, the account identifier, any limits and the receipt instructions for that purpose. Do not assume that paying for a video visit also credits the inmate’s spending account.
Our deposit information and commissary page help organize those questions. The published Kentucky correspondence instructions accept letters, not other items; do not put a payment into ordinary mail without a separate authorized method from the jail.
↑ Back to the question list13. Can I call an inmate or leave an emergency message?
Inmates make outgoing calls from their cell blocks; the jail does not transfer incoming calls to them. If you request an emergency message, staff ask for details but relay only the name and telephone number to contact, not the emergency itself. At the number published by the Sheriff, choose option 2 to ask detention staff about that process.
The jail also provides a phone-number blocking form for unwanted calls. Our phone information covers account questions; use the messaging information to ask which additional contact options apply. Give staff a usable callback number rather than assuming a message has been delivered verbatim.
↑ Back to the question list14. Where must ordinary inmate letters be sent?
Write the destination as Inmate Name, Inmate ID, Juab County Jail, P.O. Box 76550, Highland Heights, KY 41076. The Sheriff says letters sent to the jail’s Nephi address are returned to sender and that no other items are accepted under these correspondence instructions. Use the inmate identifier supplied for the booking.
Consult the mail instructions while preparing the envelope. Ask detention staff separately about legal documents, publications, medication or packages rather than treating the ordinary-letter address as permission to send them. A transfer calls for a new destination inquiry before the next mailing.
↑ Back to the question list15. How can someone retrieve property taken during an arrest?
Ask the arresting agency which office holds the particular item, then ask that office about release to a relative. For a jail-property inquiry, use the number published by the Sheriff, option 2, at 425 West Sheep Lane Drive, Nephi, UT 84648. Describe the item and identify the booking so staff can direct the request.
Before a pickup trip, ask who may authorize collection, whether written permission is needed, what ID the collector should bring and when the responsible employee is available. An item retained by an investigating agency is a separate inquiry from belongings held at the jail; do not infer the location merely from an arrest report.
↑ Back to the question list16. How should I pass urgent medical information to detention staff?
Reach the jail at the number published by the Sheriff, option 2, and state that the concern involves someone currently in custody. Give the name and identifying details, describe the urgency and ask how to pass information to medical staff. Relevant details may include the prescription name, allergies, a treating provider or a recent medical procedure.
Ask what channel staff want for supporting documents or medication; do not place medication in ordinary inmate letters. For an emergency outside the facility, call 911. For someone inside, ask detention staff for the medical or supervisory contact appropriate to the situation rather than expecting a public name search to carry a message.
↑ Back to the question list17. How do I check an outstanding warrant and contact the court?
Direct local service and surrender questions to the Sheriff’s Office at 425 West Sheep Lane Drive, Nephi, UT 84648; the number published by the Sheriff, option 1. Use the Utah warrant search for outstanding warrants and Xchange for the associated public case. BCI cautions that updates can affect immediate accuracy.
Ask the issuing clerk and defense counsel about resolution rather than assuming a search result clears the warrant. County Justice Court is at 160 North Main Street, Suite 217, Nephi, UT 84648; 435-623-3440. For a different issuing court, use the court contact list.
↑ Back to the question list18. Which clerk can provide the next hearing information?
The Fourth District courthouse is 102 East 200 North, Nephi, UT 84648; 435-623-0901. The two Justice Courts are at 160 North Main Street, Suite 217, Nephi, UT 84648, with county clerk 435-623-3440 and Nephi City clerk 435-623-1263. Those separate numbers matter even though the Justice Courts share a location.
Use the court named on the notice and ask about the specific case. The county Justice Court ordinarily offers Webex or a courthouse laptop unless instructed otherwise; follow the latest notice. Our court guide explains attendance and records.
↑ Back to the question list19. Where do federal custody and hearing questions go?
Juab County falls within the Central Division of the U.S. District Court for Utah. Contact the federal clerk at 351 South West Temple, Room 1.100, Salt Lake City, UT 84101; 801-524-6100, for case and hearing questions. Ask defense counsel about the federal detention hearing and current order; Utah’s jail caps do not set federal release terms.
Search the BOP inmate locator for people in that system. When a federal pretrial custodian is unclear, obtain the facility from the holding agency or lawyer instead of assuming a missing BOP listing means the person has been freed.
↑ Back to the question list20. What can a family do when an ICE detainer is involved?
Obtain the detainer paperwork, including Form I-247A, and note the point when criminal custody otherwise would end. The ICE detention period described in 8 CFR 287.7(d) is no more than 48 hours beyond that point, without counting Saturdays, Sundays or holidays. Have immigration counsel assess the documents and lawful local detention authority.
Utah Code §17-72-505(5) separately calls for federal notification and transfer coordination when an unlawfully present person completes a jail sentence for a felony or a class A offense within §76-3-204(1)(b)(i). It does not describe every booking. Following ICE pickup, identify the receiving facility with the ICE locator or ERO contact assistance, using the person’s identifying information.
↑ Back to the question list21. How do I locate someone in Utah state prison or under UDC supervision?
Use Utah Corrections’ offender search for a person currently under UDC supervision. The department specifically excludes unsentenced county-jail detainees awaiting trial. Keep any UDC identifier distinct from the local case number when asking about a supervision record or a custody change.
The Utah prison directory supplies the separate prison resources. This jail also publishes visiting instructions for UDC inmates, so identify the actual physical custodian before using a prison location for mail or a trip. Do not infer a transfer destination from the sentencing court’s address.
↑ Back to the question list22. Which juvenile numbers should a parent use?
Juvenile Court is at 102 East 200 North, Nephi, UT 84648, with court-directory number 435-623-1685. The Nephi juvenile/probation office at that address lists 435-623-0922 and serves the county. Use the court number for a proceeding inquiry and the probation office for the office handling the youth’s probation matter.
Ask the responsible office where the child is held, how a parent can make contact and what proceeding is next. Juvenile delinquency cases are outside public Xchange, and an adult roster is not a substitute for direct juvenile-court assistance.
↑ Back to the question list23. Which jail, Sheriff and police contacts cover this county?
Use the arresting agency for its incident records and detention staff for present jail custody.
- Sheriff’s Office and Juab County Jail: 425 West Sheep Lane Drive, Nephi, UT 84648; the number published by the Sheriff. Select option 1 for the Sheriff, 2 for jail and 3 for Records. Office mail: P.O. Box 133, Nephi, UT 84648.
- Nephi Police Department: 42 East 200 North, Nephi, UT 84648; 435-623-1626. Its after-hours nonemergency Valley Dispatch number is 801-798-5600.
- Eureka law enforcement: the city lists the county Sheriff, not a separate city police office. Its published county nonemergency dispatch number is 801-794-3970.
Before a trip or payment, contact the responsible office to confirm the instructions for the particular person or case.
