Clatsop County Inmate Population Snapshot

The Clatsop County inmate population is centered on the Clatsop County Jail in Warrenton. The jail is operated by the Clatsop County Sheriff's Office, Corrections Division, and the county describes it as an adult detention center for pre-adjudicated and sentenced offenders committed by the courts. The official jail overview states that the facility houses up to 148 inmates under the cap established by the Clatsop County Board of Commissioners.

The most current public count is the live roster, not a separate average-daily-population dashboard. On the inspected roster timestamp of June 25, 2026 at 03:32PM, the list showed 80 total people or program entries: 64 In Custody, 2 Electronic Monitoring, and 14 Outside Custody. That snapshot should not be treated as a yearly average. It is a public roster count that includes more than people sleeping in a jail bed.

The county's Corrections Division and Jail page provides the core capacity and booking-volume facts used for the Clatsop County inmate population.

The page ties the inmate population to the sheriff's detention duty, local jail operations, and the 148-inmate cap.

Clatsop County Inmate Population Statistics

Clatsop County publishes several hard numbers, but not every common jail metric is available. The research found a current jail cap, annual booking volume, a live roster snapshot, and historical capacity figures from the jail project page. It did not find an official current multi-year average daily population table, average length of stay, or aggregate race and sex demographic report.

Clatsop County Jail Capacity Trends

The local trend is a capacity story. Clatsop County moved from the old downtown Astoria jail to the Warrenton facility after voters approved a jail bond in 2018. The old jail opened in 1980 and operated under a 60-inmate cap. The county said the population had reached 74 at times, with portable beds on the floor, and that this created unsafe conditions for corrections deputies and inmates.

The Warrenton project converted the former Oregon Youth Authority North Coast site. The county reused existing space for offices, intake, food service, and 20 beds, then placed 128 beds in a new adjoining section. The county framed the move as a way to reduce early releases, hold sentenced offenders for full terms, provide better separation for illness and behavioral issues, and avoid long-term reliance on rented jail beds in other counties.

The Clatsop County Jail Project page documents the 2018 bond, old jail cap, Warrenton plan, and project cost.

That history explains why the current Clatsop County inmate population should be read against both the old 60-bed cap and the newer 148-inmate facility cap.

Clatsop County Custody Status

The Clatsop County inmate population is broader than a simple jail-bed count because the roster can include work crew, electronic monitoring, and other programs. The county's roster explanation says it provides public and media access to information on people lodged in the jail and may also contain information on offenders serving in the Sheriff's Office Work Crew Program, Community Corrections Electronic Monitoring Program, and other programs.

That local rule matters when reading status values. In Custody means the person is held in the jail. Electronic Monitoring means the person is listed under community-corrections supervision with monitoring. Outside Custody was also observed on the roster. The exact practical meaning of outside custody should be verified with the jail before relying on it for release, visitation, or bond decisions.

Laws Governing Clatsop County Inmates

Oregon law shapes what the public can see about the Clatsop County inmate population. ORS Chapter 192 governs public records, inspection, copies, fees, exemptions, and response procedures. Clatsop County implements requests through NextRequest under its April 2026 public-records procedure. The county gives 5 business days to acknowledge a request and state whether records are possessed, then 15 business days or as soon as practicable to provide records or an estimated completion date.

ORS 169.076 addresses standards for local correctional facilities, including staffing, supervision, health care, food service, sanitation, and written policies. ORS Chapter 146 covers medical examiner investigation for deaths in jail, correctional facilities, or police custody. ORS 133.870 controls booking-photo release, which is why mugshot claims must stay narrow.

Search the Clatsop County Inmate Population

The official Clatsop County Jail Roster is the first search channel for current local custody and program listings. The roster is free and no login was observed. It works more like a live list than a complex search portal. Each row shows the inmate name, booked date, scheduled release if published, and location or status. Names link to detail pages with more booking and charge information.

The official live Clatsop County Jail Roster screenshot shows how current inmate population rows and status totals are presented.

The live list is the fastest way to confirm whether a person is listed locally, but the jail phone and records-request portal remain important fallback channels.

1. Open the roster through the official apps.clatsopcounty.gov jail URL.
2. Check the data timestamp at the bottom of the list.
3. Browse the Inmate Name column and open the linked profile.
4. Use the booked date and profile fields to distinguish similar names.
5. If the person is missing, check VISOR, Oregon DOC, BOP, ICE, or call the jail.

Clatsop County Roster Fields

The roster field set is limited and local. The main list did not expose separate first-name, last-name, birth-date, booking-number, date-range, or facility filters in the text capture. It did expose a Search text control or link label, browsable linked names, booked dates, scheduled release dates when present, and location/status values.

The detail profile can show name, booked date/time, inmate number, age, sex, hair color, eye color, height, weight, and charge information with ORS number, offense, and status. Bond, housing unit, arresting agency, court date, and mugshot fields were not confirmed in the inspected text capture.

County Jail vs State Prison Search

Readers often search the wrong system. The Clatsop County jail roster covers county jail custody and local program listings. Oregon DOC covers adults sentenced to prison terms, which usually means more than 12 months. VISOR covers custody status and notifications for Oregon county or state facilities. BOP and ICE are federal systems and do not replace the county roster.

Past Clatsop County Inmate Records

The live roster is not a full archive. For released or past inmate records, use Clatsop County's public-records channel through NextRequest. The sheriff's records page warns that reports with criminal charges are not released until the subject has gone to court and the case is closed or adjudicated. Body-camera recordings are also limited under ORS 192.345 unless public interest requires disclosure.

For case documents after an arrest, use Clatsop County court records after jail arrest. Public court documents in most cases newer than 2009 can be viewed at the courthouse lobby computer for free, according to the Clatsop Circuit Court records page. Copies and older records require a court request.

Clatsop County Detention Facility

The Facility Map resolves to one local detention facility. No Oregon DOC prison, BOP prison, ICE detention center, or official city jail was located in Clatsop County from the official sources reviewed. Astoria and Seaside maintain police departments and records channels, but they are not mapped as long-term detention facilities for this site.

Clatsop County Bail and Visits

Clatsop County's bail page says to call the jail before posting bail because the roster profile did not show bond amounts in the captured sample. In most cases, someone may post 10 percent of total bail. Full bail is required in some cases. The county also states that there are no bail bondsmen in Oregon, so commercial surety bail is not the local route.

In-person visits are Saturday and Sunday from 10 am to 4 pm, closed for lunch. Each person in custody gets one visit per week, not over 60 minutes. Visitors must show photo identification, must be at least 18, cannot be intoxicated or disruptive, cannot be on probation or parole, and cannot visit within 60 days after release from Clatsop County Jail.

Can a released person be found on the roster? The roster is a live report, not a guaranteed archive. Use NextRequest for historical jail or booking records and use court records for case documents after arrest.
