1. Open the county's prisoner listing, which the Sheriff links for current inmates and recent bookings.
2. Type the last name and look for a match. Some charges don't show until the person has been arraigned.
3. If you can't find them, call the jail at 307-532-5917 with their full name and birthday.
4. For release-date questions, the phone is the best route.

Wyoming law (W.S. 7-19-106(m)) lets a county jail share a person's name, photo, location and release dates, so staff can usually answer basic questions.

• Booking is still going on. Give it a few hours, then check again.
• They bonded out or got a ticket and went home.
• Someone else made the arrest. Troopers and federal agents sometimes book people into other jails.
• The listing hasn't refreshed, or the name is spelled another way.

A phone call clears up most of these. The Sheriff's administrative office answers at 307-532-4026.

The Torrington jail is the only adult lockup the county runs. Someone picked up on a trip or wanted elsewhere could be in a neighboring jail:

• Weekdays during business hours: pay at the court that set the bond.
• Nights, weekends and holidays: Circuit and District Court bonds can be paid at the Detention Center.
• Torrington city bonds: these go to the City, not the jail. Pay at City Court, 307-532-3966, or at the police department any time. Then bring the receipt to the jail.

Bring cash unless the court order allows another form of payment. The jail only takes bonds set by Wyoming courts. Our bail guide explains each type.

The prisoner listing shows charges, though some appear only after arraignment. The County Attorney's office can also help at 307-532-4223. Court records hold the official charges:

Yes, if they can't pay. The person asks the judge to appoint one. People in custody without money, or people on aid like Medicaid, are expected to qualify (W.S. 7-6-106).

If you live more than 100 miles away, you can set up a special Saturday visit a day ahead. Video visits cost 30 cents a minute through the phone account. See our visiting guide.

• Books, magazines and newspapers must ship straight from a publisher or bookstore.

Our mail guide has more tips.

Belongings left behind after release are stored for 10 days at most, then thrown out, unless staff agree to something else. Pick it up at the Detention Center. The prisoner and the person collecting it both sign a release form. Family can drop off stamps, money, or court clothes for a jury trial when a court order allows. Call 307-532-5917 first.

Sheriff's deputies and town police officers serve warrants. Start with the Sheriff's administrative office at 307-532-4026. The county records portal is also linked by Torrington police for warrant lookups. Wyoming doesn't run a single warrant database, so clerks will search a name over the phone as well.

Our court guide walks through a case from start to finish.

The U.S. District Court handles federal crimes from its Cheyenne courthouse, 2120 Capitol Avenue, Room 2131, Cheyenne, WY 82001, 307-433-2120. A detention hearing settles whether the defendant waits for trial at home or behind bars (18 U.S.C. 3142).

The U.S. Marshals keep pretrial federal prisoners, and they contract with this jail. Their Cheyenne office is Suite 1100 in the same federal building, 307-829-3710. Sentenced federal prisoners appear on the Bureau of Prisons search.

1. ICE files a detainer, the I-247A, with the jail.
2. Staff can keep the person up to 48 hours after they would otherwise be released (8 CFR 287.7(d)).
3. ICE officers then come to collect them.
4. Track their location in the ICE Online Detainee Locator.

ICE's Cheyenne office covers this area, 7052 Commerce Circle, Suite 130, Cheyenne, WY 82007, 307-432-7440.

A felony prison term puts the person under the Wyoming Department of Corrections. The state's intake prison for men, the Wyoming Medium Correctional Institution, is just outside the county seat at 7076 RD 55F, Torrington, WY 82240, 307-532-6600. Find a prisoner with the WDOC locator. Our Wyoming prison pages describe each facility. WDOC's main office is 1934 Wyott Drive, Suite 100, Cheyenne, WY 82002, 307-777-7208.

Wyoming law prefers releasing children to a parent. Holding a youth needs a court order or a real safety or flight risk, and police must notify a parent quickly (W.S. 14-6-206). Any child still held must see a judge within two business days (W.S. 14-6-209). The District Court keeps these files confidential.

Call the Detention Center at 307-532-5917 to learn where a child is. The Department of Family Services office is at 1618 E. M St., Torrington, WY 82240, 307-532-2191.
