The Cache County Inmate Population
The Cache County inmate population is reported most clearly through jail capacity and state-contract data, not through a live public headcount. Cache County Jail is the only detention facility in the facility map, and it is operated by the Cache County Sheriff's Office in Logan. The jail holds local pretrial detainees, local sentenced inmates, and people housed for other systems when lawful authority allows it. The Utah Department of Corrections also uses county jail contract beds through its Inmate Placement Program, so Cache County custody can include state inmates as well as local cases.
The public count changes when arrests, court release orders, sentences, transfers, state placements, and holds change. Cache County's own jail page says its current inmate list is not the official record and is currently unavailable. That means population research has to lean on the UDC FY2024 Jail Programs report, the Sheriff's Office jail page, and GRAMA records held by the Sheriff's Records Department. A custody lookup is still possible, but the first official local path is the jail phone line and records process rather than a live roster screen.
Cache County Inmate Population Statistics
The strongest sourced figures describe the size and function of Cache County Jail. UDC's FY2024 Jail Programs report lists 374 total beds at Cache County Jail, 150 contracted beds, and 100 beds available for housing to Corrections. The same report identifies the housing type as male housing and reports program, job, and funding figures tied to state inmate placement. A current average daily population, annual booking total, average length of stay, and detailed demographic split were not located in the official sources reviewed.
| Measure | Figure | Source / Year |
|---|---|---|
| Average daily population | Not located in official sources reviewed | Sheriff and UDC sources reviewed |
| Total jail beds | 374 | UDC Jail Programs FY2024 report |
| Contracted beds | 150 | UDC Jail Programs FY2024 report |
| Beds available for Corrections | 100 | UDC Jail Programs FY2024 report |
| Utah incarceration rate | 396 per 100,000 | Prison Policy Initiative Utah profile |
Cache County Inmate Population Trends
The best trend data for Cache County inmate population work is administrative. Total jail beds stayed at 374 from FY2023 to FY2024. Contracted beds rose from 120 to 150, while beds available to Corrections stayed at 100. The shift shows a larger state-contract footprint without changing the total bed count. Funding and program measures moved in different directions, so the data should not be read as a daily headcount trend.
| Year | Cache County Jail Indicator | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| FY2023 | 374 total beds; 120 contracted beds | 100 beds available for Corrections. |
| FY2024 | 374 total beds; 150 contracted beds | Contracted beds increased by 30. |
| FY2023 | 69 listed program completions or participants | UDC report included high school, B.R.A.T., Functional Behavior, Inside Out Dad, MRT, and Thinking for a Change. |
| FY2024 | 89 listed program completions or participants | Total listed program activity rose while some individual programs declined. |
Who Makes Up the Cache County Inmate Population
Official sources reviewed do not publish a full race, age, sex, charge-level, or pretrial-versus-sentenced breakdown for Cache County Jail. The UDC report does label the jail's state-contract housing type as male housing. Cache County's jail page also states that religious services are available to county, state, and federal inmates in most classifications, which confirms that the facility's custody mix is broader than local arrests alone. ICE inspection records from 2020 through 2022 add historical immigration-detention context, but they do not prove a current ICE detainee count.
- Local pretrial custody includes people booked after arrest while charges, release, and court dates are pending.
- Local jail sentences may be served at Cache County Jail when the sentence is local jail time.
- State placements can involve UDC-supervised people housed in county jail contract beds.
- Federal or immigration custody must be checked through federal channels and confirmed with the jail when physical location matters.
Cache County Jail Capacity
Capacity is not the same as the number of people in custody. Cache County Jail's sourced capacity figure is 374 total beds in UDC's FY2024 report. The research also found older news context from 2011 about population-limit discussions when jail counts were high, but no official source reviewed supports a current consent decree, court-ordered population cap, or active overcrowding order. The safe current statement is narrower: Cache County Jail has a stable total bed count in recent UDC reports, with a larger contracted-bed count in FY2024 than in FY2023.
The population pressure point for readers is practical. If the county roster returns, it still will not describe the full facility population because Cache County says the current list excludes Utah State or Federal inmates housed at the jail. A user who wants the full Cache County inmate population must separate facility capacity, public roster coverage, official custody records, and state or federal supervision status.
Laws for Cache County Inmate Records
Utah law controls how jail, booking, and custody records can be requested and how some records are restricted. The Government Records Access and Management Act, often called GRAMA, is the public-records law used for Sheriff's Office records requests. Cache County's records page says requests are processed as soon as reasonably possible and may take up to 10 working days. Some records may be protected, private, or controlled, so a request can produce a redacted record or a denial.
Key Statutes:
Utah Code Title 63G, Chapter 2 controls GRAMA records requests to Utah government entities, including jail and Sheriff's Office records.
Utah Code 17-22-30 limits county jail booking-photo distribution and addresses publish-for-pay booking photograph uses.
Utah Code 17-72-408 addresses public reporting for inmate deaths and the facility where the person was held.
Utah Code 64-13-25 authorizes UDC standards and treatment-program standards for county jails holding state inmates.
Cache County State Prison Population
No Utah state prison is physically located in Cache County. UDC operates the Utah State Correctional Facility in Salt Lake City, the Central Utah Correctional Facility in Gunnison, and community correctional centers outside Cache County. Still, the state prison system matters locally because UDC uses county jail placements when prison beds are not enough. Cache County had 150 contracted beds and 100 beds available for Corrections in FY2024.
Lookup rules change when a person enters state supervision. The UDC offender search covers people incarcerated by UDC or on Utah probation or parole. UDC states that people awaiting trial or not yet sentenced and housed in county jails are not listed there. That split is a common source of bad searches: county jail custody begins locally, while state-prison supervision uses the UDC locator.
Search the Cache County Inmate Population
The Cache County Jail Division page is the right starting point, but its "Current Inmate List" and "Arrest & Booking" sections were marked unavailable in the research. The same page directs users to call (435) 755-1227 for booked-inmate information. When the roster is restored, Cache County's terms still matter: the roster is unofficial, not an official legal record, and not updated more than six times per hour. The Sheriff's Office official record controls if the website and records disagree.
Cache County's Jail Division page shows the roster-unavailable notice and the jail information sections used for visitation, mail, money, and phone rules.
The screenshot is useful because it shows that the local online roster is not the only access path; the phone line and Sheriff's Records Department carry the current lookup burden.
- Check the Cache County Jail Division page to see whether the current list or last-30-days booking list has returned.
- If the roster remains unavailable, call (435) 755-1227 for booked-inmate information.
- If the person may be a state inmate, search UDC by name or UDC ID number.
- If federal custody is possible, use the BOP locator for sentenced federal custody and federal court or USMS channels for pretrial custody.
- If immigration custody is possible, use ICE's Online Detainee Locator and verify through official ICE channels.
- For official copies or past jail records, file a Cache County Sheriff's Office GRAMA request.
Cache County Current Inmate Lookup
The Cache County current inmate list cannot be described as a functioning search form based on the research file. No active field labels or sample profiles were available because both roster sections were unavailable. That fact should not be smoothed over. It changes the user's workflow from web search to a fallback chain: jail phone, records request, UDC locator, BOP locator, ICE locator, courts, and warrant search.
| Field or Notice | Type | Required | Cache County Note |
|---|---|---|---|
| Current Inmate List | Unavailable page | Unavailable | Cache County says to call (435) 755-1227. |
| Arrest & Booking, last 30 days | Unavailable page | Unavailable | The recent booking roster has the same unavailable notice. |
| Terms of Use acknowledgement | Notice/link | Required when roster is active | The jail page says users must understand and agree to the terms. |
| State or federal exclusion | Notice | Not applicable | The current list excludes Utah State or Federal inmates housed at Cache County Jail. |
| Update frequency | Notice | Not applicable | The unofficial roster is not updated more often than six times per hour and often less. |
Past Cache County Inmate Records
Past and released inmate records are not solved by the unavailable public roster. Cache County's Records Department keeps Sheriff's Office records, and most are kept for five years while some are kept indefinitely. Requests can be submitted by email, mail, or in person. The current records page lists recordsrequest@cachesheriff.gov, while the 2022 PDF form prints recordsrequest@cachesheriff.org. The current web page should be used first, but the form's printed address should be preserved when following the form instructions.
Cache County Sheriff's Office records instructions describe GRAMA timing, fees, active-report limits, payment options, and records contact information.
That records page is central when an online inmate population search does not show an active roster record or when an official copy is needed.
Cache County Inmate Record Fields
No live Cache County inmate profile could be inspected, so fields like booking number, booking date, charges, bond, housing, and status cannot be claimed as visible on the county web page. The official finding is more limited and more useful: the roster is unavailable, the roster is unofficial when active, the Sheriff's Office record controls, booking photos are not downloadable, and state or federal inmates housed at the jail are excluded from the public current list.
| Field | What the Research Supports |
|---|---|
| Name | Not inspectable because the Cache County roster is unavailable. |
| Booking number | Not inspectable from a live Cache County sample. |
| Booking photo | Cache County says jail/booking photos may no longer be distributed or downloaded. |
| Charges | Use Sheriff's records for booking allegations and Utah court records for filed court charges. |
| Bond | Confirm through the jail phone line, court record, or Cache County's online bail payment channel. |
| Official status | The website roster is not the official record; Sheriff's Office records control. |
Cache County Jail vs State Prison
County jail, state prison, federal custody, and immigration detention are separate systems. Cache County Jail is the local receiving facility and state-contract partner. UDC is the statewide supervision system. BOP handles sentenced federal prison custody from 1982 forward. ICE uses its own detainee locator. A person can be physically held in Cache County Jail but missing from the public current list if the person is under state or federal status, because Cache County says those categories are excluded from the public current list.
| Custody Type | Best Lookup Channel | Cache County Limit |
|---|---|---|
| Local pretrial or short sentence | Jail page if restored; otherwise (435) 755-1227 | Roster currently unavailable and unofficial. |
| State prison, probation, or parole | UDC offender search | UDC excludes unsentenced county-jail detainees. |
| Federal sentenced custody | BOP inmate locator | No BOP facility is located in Cache County. |
| Immigration custody | ICE Online Detainee Locator | Historical ICE inspections do not replace the national locator. |
Cache County Detention Facilities
The facility map for Cache County has one local detention facility. Cache County Jail is the local jail, the public mail address, the booked-inmate information point, and the facility tied to state contract-bed reporting. No Utah state prison or BOP institution is physically located in Cache County, so sentenced state and federal searches move to statewide or national systems.
- Cache County Jail - the Logan jail holds local pretrial detainees, local sentenced inmates, and some state or federal categories when housed under proper authority.
