The Clackamas County jail roster is a publicly accessible record of individuals currently held in the Clackamas County Jail in Oregon. ClackamasCourt.us can help you find publicly available information about current and recent inmates. You can also access jail roster information through the official Clackamas County Sheriff's Office website, by calling the jail directly, or by visiting in person. A jail roster search allows the public to confirm whether someone is in custody, view booking details, and identify current charges. The Clackamas County Sheriff's Office maintains the roster through its corrections division, and the online version is updated regularly to reflect current custody status.

Find Clackamas Jail Booking Records Online
A booking record is created each time an individual is processed into the Clackamas County Jail. During booking, jail staff record identifying information and the circumstances of the arrest. A booking record typically includes:
- Booking number
- Booking date and time
- Charges at the time of booking
- Arresting agency
- Scheduled release date (if applicable)
- Demographic information (gender, race, age, date of birth)
The most direct way to access current booking records is through the Adults in Custody page. Each listing on this page shows key booking details for individuals currently held in the jail.
If you need booking records for someone who has already been released, the online roster may no longer show that person. In that case, you can:
- Contact the Sheriff's Office Records Unit to request historical booking information.
- Submit a public records request to the Sheriff's Office. Oregon's public records law (ORS 192.311–192.478) generally allows access to government records, though certain information may be exempt or redacted.
- Search for related court case records through the Clackamas County Circuit Court records request process or the free OJCIN OnLine system for case information.
Search the Clackamas Jail Roster by Last Name or Booking Number
The Clackamas County Adults in Custody roster supports two primary ways to locate an individual:
Search by Last Name
- Open the Adults in Custody page.
- Scan the roster entries, which are organized by name.
- Use your browser's find function (Ctrl+F or Cmd+F) and type the person's last name to jump directly to matching entries.
- If the last name is common, add the first name to narrow results.
Search by Booking Number
If you already have a booking number (for example, from a court document or prior search), use the browser find function to locate that specific number on the roster page.
Practical Tips
- Spelling matters. Use the person's full legal name. Nicknames and aliases may not match roster entries.
- Try variations. If a hyphenated last name returns no results, try each part of the name separately.
- No results? The person may have already been released, transferred to another facility, or booked under a different name. Call 503-785-5210 to verify.
- Warrants search. If you are looking for someone with an outstanding warrant rather than someone currently in custody, use the separate warrant roster tool.
Jail Roster Updates and Search Limitations in Clackamas
The Clackamas County Adults in Custody roster is updated on a regular basis to reflect current jail population. However, there are practical limitations users should be aware of:
- Processing delays. After an arrest, it can take time for booking to be completed and for the individual's information to appear on the online roster. This delay may range from a few hours to longer, depending on the volume of bookings and staffing.
- Removal after release. Once an individual is released from custody, their record is typically removed from the roster. The online roster reflects current custody status only — it is not an archive of all past bookings.
- Data entry lags. Charge information, scheduled release dates, and other details may be updated after the initial booking entry appears. If a record looks incomplete, check again later or call the jail.
- Not a criminal history database. The roster does not serve as a comprehensive criminal record. For Oregon criminal history reports, contact Oregon State Police Criminal History Records.
- Restricted records. Certain bookings may not appear on the public roster due to court orders, ongoing investigations, or other legal restrictions. Juvenile records are never included.
If you cannot find someone on the roster and believe they are in custody, call the Sheriff's Office Records Unit at 503-785-5210 for assistance. For related court case information, the Clackamas County Circuit Court records office can help locate filings, hearing dates, and case dispositions.
