Davis County Inmate Population
The Davis County inmate population is centered at the Davis County Correctional Facility in Farmington. Davis County's corrections page says the facility is overseen by the Sheriff's Office Corrections Division and that the division also oversees the Ankle Monitor program. The jail holds people arrested by county and municipal agencies unless they are cited, released, transferred, hospitalized before booking, or held under another authority. It can also hold selected state inmates through Utah's Inmate Placement Program.
Davis County's local custody picture is more complex than a single roster list. The county roster covers people currently in county corrections custody. The Davis County Work Release Center supports work-release or related programming and is listed by the county as a deposit kiosk location. State prisons are not physically located in Davis County, but UDC lists Davis County among the county jails participating in state inmate placement. Federal and immigration detention questions require separate federal or ICE tools when the person is not physically held in the county jail.
Davis County Inmate Statistics
The strongest current population figure in the research is Davis County Corrections' statement that, in a typical year, the jail has a daily population of approximately 800 inmates. The county history page says the modern correctional facility opened in 1991 with 368 beds and was expanded in 2007. Current official rated capacity was not separately located in the county pages reviewed, so it should not be inferred from older or secondary reports.
| Measure | Figure | Source / Date |
|---|---|---|
| Typical daily jail population | Approximately 800 inmates | Davis County Corrections page, inspected July 1, 2026 |
| Original modern facility bed count | 368 beds | Davis County Sheriff history page, inspected July 1, 2026 |
| Medical Observation Unit capacity | 23-26 individuals | Davis County corrections and history pages |
| Current official rated capacity | Not located in current official pages | Corrections, history, inmate information, and FAQ pages reviewed |

Davis County Jail Population Trends
Davis County's jail history shows a long-term expansion from a small courthouse jail to a large county correctional facility co-located with courts and sheriff administration. The county says its first jail had three cells and was built on courthouse grounds in 1891. The modern correctional facility opened in 1991, one hundred years after that first jail, and a 2007 expansion responded to spacing needs. Later planning for a Medical Observation Unit reflected medical and mental-health demand rather than a simple bed-count story.
| Year or Period | Population or Facility Point | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| 1891 | First county jail with three cells | Official sheriff history. |
| 1991 | 368-bed correctional facility built | Built with sheriff administrative offices in the justice complex. |
| 2007 | Facility expansion | County history says the expansion met spacing needs. |
| Current official page | Approximately 800 daily inmates | Davis County Corrections page inspected July 1, 2026. |
Davis County Capacity Limits
The Davis County inmate population cannot be measured by the original 368-bed number alone because the facility was expanded in 2007 and now operates with a much larger typical daily population. The research did not locate a current official rated capacity figure. A 2010 public report said county commissioners set a maximum operating population of 814 inmates and no more than 175 condition-of-probation inmates, but that is historical context rather than a current county source.
Davis County's corrections page says the facility is inspected annually under Utah Sheriffs' Association Jail Standards and is also subject to oversight from the Utah Department of Corrections, U.S. Marshals Service, Davis County Health Department Environmental Health Services, medical authorities, and state and local fire marshals. No current ACA accreditation source was located, so the accurate description is annual inspection under Utah sheriff jail standards and related oversight.
Davis County Inmate Makeup
The current public roster and the sheriff dashboard are the local sources most tied to who makes up the Davis County inmate population. The research found that the sheriff dashboard includes sections for inmate location, demographics, booking information, criminal history, and definitions, but browser access showed Power BI or sign-in limits, so detailed current demographic tables were not captured. Older county health assessment snippets reported about 15 percent female and a 7:1 male-to-female ratio, but those should be treated as historical context.
- Pretrial
- A person held before conviction or sentencing.
- Sentenced
- A person serving a sentence after a court order or conviction.
- IPP
- Utah's Inmate Placement Program, which can place eligible state inmates in contracted county jails.
- Detainer or hold
- Another agency's authority or request that may prevent release from jail.
Davis County Jail Record Laws
Utah public-records law and county jail statutes shape what is available about the Davis County inmate population. The Davis County roster is public and free, but it is not a full legal record. Booking photos are the main exception readers notice because the roster photo area displays a Utah law notice instead of a live inmate photo. Formal charges and case outcomes are court records, not roster records.
Key Statutes:
Utah Code 63G-2-201 gives access to public records unless another law classifies them as restricted.
Utah Code 63G-2-204 explains how written GRAMA requests must identify the record and go to the entity that keeps it.
Utah Code 17-72-401 places county jails under the sheriff for people lawfully committed to jail custody.
Utah Code 17-72-408 addresses jail standards, policies, and limited death-in-custody public reporting.
Utah Code 17-72-802 treats booking photographs as protected records and limits display or copies.
Search Davis County Inmates
The Davis County inmate population is searched first through the official sheriff inmate roster. The roster is hosted on the county government site, not a commercial jail-listing domain. It is free, has a simple "Find by name" box, and opens detail records through an inmate details modal. The detail terms say the roster updates every 15 minutes, but the county warns that the information is for public information, not legal documents or news reports.
The Davis County inmate roster screenshot shows the name-search field, paginated booking rows, and official sheriff-site layout used for current custody lookup.
That screenshot reinforces the narrow role of the roster: it helps locate current Davis County inmates, while court, state, federal, and GRAMA channels fill in records the roster does not publish.
- Open the Davis County inmate roster and read the scam alert about fake ankle-monitor release calls.
- Search by last name first, then first name if too many or no rows appear.
- Use pagination because the roster has multiple pages and changes as bookings and releases occur.
- Open the detail modal to view the name number, booking time, age, gender, arresting agency, and bond or charge area when populated.
- If no match appears, use the jail phone line, NextRequest, Utah Courts, UDC, BOP, ICE, or VINELink based on the custody question.
Davis County Roster Fields
The roster's limited field set is a useful clue about its purpose. It is built to confirm current jail custody, not to show a complete case history. The roster list columns are booking date, first name, last name, gender, age, and details. The details modal adds the name number, booked timestamp, arresting agency, and terms language.
| Roster Field | Type | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Find by name | Text input | Single search box. No county-published wildcard or minimum-character rule was found. |
| Booking Date | Result column | Date shown in list results. |
| First and Last Name | Result columns | Used to identify possible matches. |
| Gender and Age | Result columns | Basic demographics shown publicly. |
| Inmate Details | Modal button | Opens the profile and statutory booking-photo notice. |
Davis County Inmate Records
A Davis County inmate record can show enough to confirm that the person is currently booked, but it should not be treated as a conviction record. The sample profile inspected in the research showed full name, name number, booked date and time, age, gender, arresting agency, a photo placeholder, and a bonds-and-charges area in the markup. The sample did not show a populated charge list, so the court record remains the better source for filed charges.
The roster also contains a locally important fraud warning. Davis County says scammers have falsely contacted families and claimed early release is available through an Ankle Monitor Program if a fee is paid, often in Bitcoin. The Sheriff's Office says the ankle monitor program is court ordered, never requires direct payment from families, and DCSO does not accept Bitcoin for that program.
Past Davis County Inmate Records
For past or released inmates, the roster may not be enough. Davis County's public records page routes "Other Records" requests to the NextRequest portal. The records manager is listed as GRAMA@DavisCountyUtah.gov and (801) 451-3277. A request should include the booked person's name, approximate booking date, and the specific record sought. Booking-photo requests should expect protected-record review under Utah law.
Formal charges after an arrest belong in Utah court records. Utah Courts Xchange covers district and justice court case information, including case number, filing date, party names, hearings, documents, judgments, and outcomes when public. Davis County Justice Court is in the Farmington justice complex, and the sheriff FAQ lists Second District Court at 801-447-3800 and Justice Court at 801-451-4488 for court-date questions.
Davis County Detention Facilities
The Davis County inmate population is attached to two mapped local facilities in the research file. The primary jail comes first because it is the full-service booking and custody point. The Work Release Center is listed as a separate support facility and deposit kiosk location, but official pages did not publish a separate bed count or full housing description.
- Davis County Correctional Facility holds pretrial detainees, sentenced county inmates, selected state inmates under UDC placement, and other accepted holds.
- Davis County Work Release Center supports work-release or related correctional programming and is listed as a lobby deposit kiosk location.
Davis County Custody Lookup
The right lookup depends on who has legal custody. The county roster is for local jail custody. The Utah Department of Corrections offender search is for people currently under UDC supervision and warns that unsentenced county-jail detainees are not listed. The BOP inmate locator is for federal sentenced custody. ICE ODLS is for immigration detention. VINELink Utah supports custody notifications.
