About the Duchesne County Jail
Deputies for the Duchesne County Sheriff are key in the safety of the community from court security to road law enforcement and much more. They offer a range of services to support the community, offering fingerprinting for those who need it for jobs or for volunteering, assisting with federal and other law enforcement agencies, operating programs for the inmates to help with their return to society, and supervision of visitation. The jail is located at 21554 West 9000 South, PO Box 10, Duchesne, Utah. Inmates can receive mail at this address if it has their full name and a complete return address, though it will be checked for contraband as a safety measure for the staff and other inmates. There are beds for 166 inmates, and when necessary, these will be used for federal inmates, local inmates, and they house both male and female detainees within the jail. For easy access the jail maintains a kiosk in the lobby that is accessible during all hours that the jail is open, and additionally money can be added to inmate accounts at jailatm.com at any time. In person face to face visits have been suspended indefinitely, and this has caused visits to move to online and remote video visits. In order to be approved for visits you must be listed on the inmates visiting list, and each visitor will need an account with homewav.com in order to set up their visit. These are available every day from 9am to 6pm during the weekdays and 8am to 6pm on weekends. To receive phone calls the Paytel.com program can be funded at that site and will allow for funds to be added to the inmates phone account, allowing them to call their friends and loved ones outside of the facility. Inmates have access to phones during their free time, during day use hours, and can have more than one phone call each day.

Recent Bookings & Arrests

To find out if someone you know has been recently arrested and booked into the Duchesne County Jail, call the jail’s booking line at 435-738-0190.

There may be an automated method of looking them up by their name over the phone, or you may be directed to speak to someone at the jail. Sometimes the jail staff may ask you the offender’s date of birth to ensure privacy of the offender’s status.

Keep in mind that after an arrest, the information on an offender may not be publicly available for several hours.

If you don’t want to check up on an offender by calling the jail, you can also try looking up people recently booked online.

Duchesne County Jail Booking Roster

What happens during booking in Duchesne County?

After being arrested and taken into custody, and after being read their Miranda Rights, an offender will next be transported to the local police or department or the Sheriff’s Department in Duchesne County for booking.

Booking is very involved and requires multiple steps in the process, however, keep in mind that most attorneys will advise that an offender remain silent and not offer any additional information about the crime they have been arrested for because anything they do say may be recorded and may very well be used against them in court.

What is the booking process like at the Duchesne County Jail?

Booking includes having their photo (mugshot) and fingerprints taken, as well as being asked a lot of questions about their personal history and state of mind. If it’s a serious felony, their DNA may also be taken. They will also be checked for warrants in Duchesne County and other Utah and USA jurisdictions.

If the offender was arrested for a DUI offense, and has refused a breathalyzer test, they may also be forced to have blood drawn by a doctor or nurse.

It is also very likely that the offender will undergo a humiliating full body search while in the nude. This includes bending over, spreading their cheeks in the direction of an officer, and coughing. They will also be walked through a metal detector or x-ray machine, like those used at an airport.

What kind of questions are asked during booking?

The arresting jurisdiction will ask about gang affiliations, tattoos, medical conditions, prescribed medication they are taking, recreational drugs they are on or addicted to, allergies, if they are suicidal, and other relevant information that will help with determining their cell assignment and special needs.

What happens to an offender’s personal property during booking?

During the arrest and booking process an offender will also have all their personal property confiscated and held for either their release from jail, or with the offender’s approval, released to a friend or family member.

Personal property includes the clothing they are wearing, money, wallets, purses, cell phones, jewelry, body rings, earrings, watches, and even glasses if they are deemed a security risk. If they are allowed to keep their shoes or sneakers, the laces are removed.

What happens after booking?

At this point the offender will be allowed to make a free phone call to a person of their choice to notify them of their arrest, and/or arrange a bond or bail for their release.

If the offender is being detained and housed while awaiting arraignment, the Duchesne County Jail will provide a jail garment and slip-on shoes, a blanket, sheets, soap, toothbrush, toothpaste, and a towel.

Often, before they are dressed in the jail outfit and brought to their housing location, they will be forced to take a shower and undergo a disinfectant treatment for body and hair lice, scabies or other pests that may be residing on their person.

How long does the Duchesne County Jail Booking process take?

Booking can take anywhere from an hour to 24 hours or more. It all depends on the number of people that are awaiting processing, the number of staff on duty at the time, and the behavior of the offender.

If the offender is heavily intoxicated and/or violent, the Booking Officer may decide to stick the offender in a holding cell for several hours until they become more manageable.

Inmate Money Accounts

How Do You Deposit Money for an Inmate in the Duchesne County Jail?

There are FOUR options for putting money on an inmate's books:

Option 1 - Dropping Money at the Jail
Bring money to the jail in person. 
Either the jail personnel will process the Inmate Account payment or you will use a Jail ATM self-serve kiosk in the lobbies that accepts cash, debit or credit cards.

Option 2 - Deposit Inmate Money Online
Duchesne County Jail uses Jail ATM to process all online deposits to an inmate's account. The company charges you a small fee for doing so, but the fee probably isn't as much as gas and parking would cost to take it to the jail in person.

Option 3 - Mail the Inmate Deposit to the Jail
Mailing a deposit takes more time to process than the other methods but can be done if you live too far away to bring it in person and you don't have a debit/credit card for online deposits. Never send cash. Always send a Money Order from the US Post Office, a reputable bank or Western Union. Call the Duchesne County Jail first as they may want you to do this online or at the jail kiosk instead.
Make the Money Order out to the inmate's name and put their Inmate ID# in memo section of the Money Order.
21554 West 9000 South
Duchesne, UT 84021
