Chelan County Jail Inmate Records and Roster Lookup

Official Chelan County Jail Registry

The official county roster is the Chelan County Regional Justice Center Jail Registry / Inmate List. The page describes the list as people currently residing at Chelan County Jail in the last 24 hours, so it should be read as a current or very recent jail-register snapshot. It is not a long-term booking archive. The page heading includes an "Inmates List as of" timestamp, which is the best published signal for how fresh the roster view is.

The Regional Justice Center in Wenatchee is the primary local custody facility for Chelan County. The county describes it as a 267-bed adult correctional facility that also serves a regional role, including contracts with Douglas County and the cities of East Wenatchee, Wenatchee, Cashmere, Entiat, Leavenworth, and Chelan. That matters because a person arrested in one of those local settings may still appear on the Chelan County Regional Justice Center list.

The county roster does not cover every custody situation. It is for local jail custody, including pretrial custody, local sentenced custody, and recent bookings tied to the jail. A sentenced person transferred to Washington DOC custody belongs in the state locator. A federal sentenced prisoner belongs in the BOP locator. A person in civil immigration detention belongs in ICE ODLS. For formal charges and court dates after booking, use the court-record channels rather than relying on the jail list alone.

The county's roster screenshot in the manifest comes from the official inmate-list page and shows the roster table with offender ID, name, age, birth date, and VINE action columns.

The screenshot matches the research finding that Chelan's public interface is a timestamped table, not a conventional search form with name, booking number, or facility filters.

How to Use the Chelan County Inmate Roster

Start with the official jail registry when the question is, "how do I find someone in the Chelan jail?" The roster is free and public. It does not require an account, but it also does not publish a search box. Users need to scan the list or use the browser's find function.

1. Open the official Jail Registry / Inmate List page for the Chelan County Regional Justice Center.
2. Read the "Inmates List as of" timestamp before relying on the roster, because the list is a point-in-time custody snapshot.
3. Use browser find to search the page by last name, first name, or another name fragment, since the county page does not publish a dedicated roster search form.
4. Compare name, age, and birth date before assuming a match, especially for common names or people with similar spellings.
5. Use the VINE notification icon in the row if custody-status alerts are needed. The VINE link is for notification, not a full booking report.
6. If the person is missing from the list, call booking at (509) 667-6462 or (509) 667-6616 and then check Washington DOC, Washington VINE, BOP, ICE, and court records as appropriate.

The roster page code also references expanded booking details such as booking date, booking number, statute, offenses or case number, and agency. Those details are not the same as a formal court record. Booking information can be preliminary, and filed charges may change after prosecutor review.

Chelan County Roster Search Fields

Chelan's roster is better described as a public list than as a searchable database. The visible fields identify the person and provide a VINE action. The research did not find visible Search, Reset, Clear, Advanced Search, Submit, pagination, or facility-filter controls on the inspected roster page.

What a Chelan County Inmate Record Shows

The public roster entry is narrow. It is rooted in Washington's public jail-register rule, but broader jail records remain confidential unless an exception applies. The county list does not show every item families often expect, such as bond amount, housing unit, court date, projected release date, arresting officer, or booking photo.

County Jail, DOC, BOP, ICE, and VINE Compared

Custody systems are often confused because a Chelan County arrest can move through several agencies. The county jail roster is the local starting point. Washington DOC covers state-sentenced custody after transfer. The Federal Bureau of Prisons covers federal sentenced custody. ICE ODLS covers civil immigration detention. VINE is a notification tool layered onto custody systems, not a replacement for the jail roster or a court file.

No Washington DOC prison, BOP institution, or ICE detention center was identified in Chelan County. DOC does list the Wenatchee Valley Reentry Center at 400 Okanogan Ave. as a local reentry resource, but it is not the county jail roster and not a prison page for current jail lookup.

Chelan County Jail Contact Cards

The main jail contact point is the Chelan County Regional Justice Center at 401 Washington Street in Wenatchee. The work release and alternative programs are tied to the same jail operation but have their own program phone number and eligibility process.

The manifest contact screenshot comes from the official jail contact page and shows the published address, booking and records numbers, and public lobby hours.

Use the jail phone line when a booking is too recent for the roster, when the timestamp looks stale, or when a release, hold, or hospital-clearance issue needs confirmation.

Booking Process in Chelan County

Chelan County does not publish a complete booking manual, but the official FAQ and roster show the practical flow. Booking begins when law enforcement brings an arrested person to the Regional Justice Center or when a person reports for a court-approved sentence or alternative program. Staff must identify the person, create or connect local booking records, collect property under jail security procedures, and complete intake screening.

Medical intake is a major local detail. The jail says medical intake assessment screenings are completed on every person booked into the facility. When a nurse is available, the nurse completes the medical intake assessment. The jail keeps a current list of people who need hospital clearance before booking, and an arresting officer may be directed to take someone for clearance before acceptance.

After intake, classification can affect housing, medical sensor placement, work release or electronic monitoring eligibility, and safety decisions. The county reports a high detox and medical load, including 60 percent of bookings admitting drug or alcohol use within the prior 48 hours and 60 to 70 percent of new bookings immediately housed in medical sensor cells. The roster does not state exactly how quickly a new booking appears, so recent arrests should be checked against the timestamp and confirmed with booking if necessary.

Visitation Hours and Rules

In-person visitation is limited and appointment based. The county says in-person visits at the Regional Justice Center are only on Wednesday evenings and Saturday afternoons. Appointments cannot be made in person. An incarcerated person may receive only one in-person visit per week, with the week consisting of Wednesday and Saturday.

The jail visitation screenshot in the manifest comes from the official visitation rules page and documents the appointment windows and video/voicemail instructions.

Visitors should confirm custody before scheduling because release, transfer, hospital clearance, discipline, or a change in classification can affect visit availability.

How to Contact a Chelan County Inmate

The county's current communications page lists GettingOut for phone and tablet communications, including voicemail and video functions. To leave a three-minute voicemail, the county says to create a GettingOut account, deposit funds, call 1-866-516-0115, and use the Chelan County prompts 1, 2, and 4 before following prompts for the person.

Mail has a local security caveat. In 2026 the jail changed mailroom policy because of narcotic-soaked letters and envelopes. Physical mail is no longer delivered directly to incarcerated people; mail is scanned and made available digitally by tablet. That policy is separate from public-record access and should be confirmed through the official jail page before mailing anything sensitive or time-dependent.

Commissary and Inmate Funds

The current county phone and commissary page says money can be applied to telephone and commissary accounts 24 hours a day by phone, internet, or jail lobby kiosk. It lists GettingOut at 1-866-516-0115 for phone and tablet communications and ConnectNetwork at 1-877-650-4249 for trust and commissary accounts. The current web page should be checked before paying because vendor channels can change.

No official Chelan County Sheriff mobile app with roster or warrant features was located in the researched official sources. Washington VINE has mobile app options, but VINE is a notification service, not a Chelan Sheriff roster app.
