Coos County Inmate Population
The Coos County inmate population is housed at one current county detention facility: Coos County Jail in Coquille. The facility is operated by the Coos County Sheriff's Office under Sheriff Gabe Fabrizio. County materials use the Oregon term adult in custody, often shortened to AIC. That population includes people newly booked after arrest, people waiting for first appearance or later court dates, local sentenced inmates, probation or parole sanctions, and holds that appear in the jail roster's charge-status field.
No current Oregon Department of Corrections prison, federal BOP prison, or ICE detention facility was verified inside Coos County in the official facility sources reviewed for this build. That matters for search accuracy. The county jail roster covers local jail custody only. Sentenced state prisoners from Coos County are found through Oregon Offender Search, while federal sentenced inmates are searched through BOP and immigration detainees through ICE. A person can move from one system to another after court action, transfer, or sentencing.
Coos County Inmate Statistics
Official Coos County sources did not publish a current average daily population or annual booking total in the materials reviewed. The most reliable numeric story is capacity. County levy materials documented 98 beds when the jail is funded and staffed for that level, and warned that usable capacity could fall to 49 beds when staffing or funding is short. Local reports later attributed the same 98-to-49 cycle to sheriff statements. The build should not turn a live roster count into a permanent figure without a dated capture.
| Measure | Figure | Source / Date |
|---|---|---|
| Full usable jail capacity | 98 beds | Coos County levy explanatory materials, 2022 |
| Reduced usable capacity | 49 beds | Coos County levy materials and later sheriff-attributed local reports |
| Community corrections supervision | About 450 adults | Coos County Community Corrections, county website |
| Current ODOC prisons in county | 0 | ODOC Locations and Divisions, current facility list |
Coos County Jail Capacity
Coos County's inmate population trend is tied to staffing and levy funding more than to a public demographic dashboard. County election materials warned that the jail could lose half of its usable beds if the operations levy failed. Later local reports said capacity rose back to 98 beds in April 2024 after rehiring and then dropped again after a levy failure, with early releases reported when the available bed count was reduced. Those facts explain why an arrest does not always mean a long jail stay.

| 2008 | County sought a maximum jail population of 97 due to staffing limits, while older physical capacity was referenced separately. | Coos/OJD court capacity material in research |

Coos County Custody Makeup
The county does not publish a current aggregate jail dashboard showing sex, race, age bands, offense level, average stay, or pretrial and sentenced splits. The roster does show record-level fields such as age and sex, and its status dropdown separates groups such as pre-sentence felony, pre-sentence misdemeanor, sentenced felony, sentenced misdemeanor, probation violations, dismissed, cited, not filed, and time served. Those roster fields help users read one record, but they should not be summarized into countywide claims without a dated count.
- Adult in Custody
- Oregon's term for a person held in jail or prison custody.
- Pre-sentence
- A status used before final conviction or sentencing in the case.
- Detainer
- A hold or request from another authority that may affect release.
- Scheduled release
- A projected release date shown by the jail roster or release list when known.
Coos County also has a separate community corrections population. The county states that Community Corrections supervises about 450 adults on parole or probation and uses work crews, treatment monitoring, and jail sanctions. That group is not the same as the jail population, but it can affect jail admissions when a sanction, violation, or hold results in custody.
Coos County Jail Laws
Oregon law shapes both access and limits. Public records law generally gives people a right to inspect non-exempt records held by public bodies, while other statutes allow agencies to set reasonable request rules, charge fees, redact exempt information, and limit release of booking photos. Local jail population limits and facility standards are also set in state law. These statutes explain why the Coos County jail roster can be public while some jail records, photos, juvenile matters, medical information, or active investigative material may be withheld.
Key Statutes:
ORS 192.314 gives every person a right to inspect Oregon public records unless an exemption applies.
ORS 192.318 allows public bodies to set reasonable rules that protect records and keep offices working.
ORS 169.042, 169.044, and 169.046 address local correctional facility population limits and related court or county procedures.
ORS 169.076 requires local correctional facilities to meet standards for staffing, supervision, policy, sanitation, medical care, food, discipline, and emergency planning.
Search Coos County Inmates
The official online path starts at the county Alpha Roster page, which points to the live Coos County Jail roster. The roster is hosted by JusticeConnect/CMI and is linked from county jail materials. It has a keyword search field, a View status dropdown, sortable roster columns, paging controls, and row-click details. The county directs roster questions to the Booking Division at 541-396-7850.
The JusticeConnect roster screenshot in the research capture shows the live Coos County jail roster grid with search controls, image column, booking dates, and release fields.
That grid is the current-custody starting point, while records requests, VISOR, ODOC, BOP, ICE, and court searches cover people who are released, transferred, sentenced, or held in another system.
- Open the county Alpha Roster page or the JusticeConnect live roster linked from the sheriff's jail materials.
- Use the Search box for the person's name or other visible roster text.
- Use View to filter status, such as all inmates, pre-sentence, sentenced, probation violation, dismissed, cited, not filed, or time served.
- Read the grid columns for image, inmate name, age, sex, booked date, and scheduled release date.
- Select the row to open the inmate details window, then review demographics, booking data, facility, charges, docket, arresting agency, and bail amount.
Coos County Roster Fields
The roster does not publish a required minimum character count or wildcard rule for its main keyword field. The hidden model and grid fields show more detail than the first screen displays. That is useful when reading a profile because the public result can include both front-facing fields and details that appear after a row is selected.
| Field Label | Type | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Search | Text input | No | Keyword search. Clearing the field removes filters. |
| View | Dropdown | No | Includes All Inmates and status choices such as PreSentance, Fel PV, Sent Fel, Sent Msd, Citted, and Time Served. |
| Column sort | Grid control | No | Visible for name, age, sex, booked date, and scheduled release columns. |
| Page size | Dropdown | No | Allows larger or smaller result pages, including 15 through 200 items. |
| Row selection | Grid action | No | Opens the Inmate Details window for the selected record. |
Coos County Inmate Records
A Coos County inmate record on the roster can include a booking photo, name, age, sex, booked date, scheduled release date, booking number, file number, charge status, incident number, facility, height, weight, eye color, hair color, and DOB in the detail template. The charge table can show offense number, offense description, status, arresting agency, docket, and bail amount. A roster entry is not the final court record, so filed charges should be checked through OJD court records after the prosecutor acts.
| Record Area | What It Shows |
|---|---|
| Identity | Name, DOB, age, sex, and physical descriptors. |
| Booking | Booked date, booking number, file number, facility, and total days when present. |
| Release | Scheduled release date when known, or unknown if no date appears. |
| Charges | Offense number, description, status, arresting agency, docket, and bail amount. |
| Images | Roster photo support through the image column and detail-window image retrieval when available. |
Past Coos County Inmates
If a person is not on the current roster, start with the reason they might be missing. They may have been cited and released, posted under a court release order, transferred to ODOC after sentencing, moved under a federal hold, or released before the roster was checked. The county's upcoming release list states planned releases happen at 8:00 a.m., and the jail's daily court list can connect a jailed person to same-day court matters by cell, name, matter, case number, judge, and time.
For historical booking records, photos, or jail reports, use the Coos County Sheriff's Office Records Request Webform. The form includes Booking/Jail Records Reports and Photo Request options. The county warns against broad "everything" requests because staff may need to search, retrieve, redact, review, and print records. Narrow the request by full name, date, case number, incident address, report type, and reason.
The sheriff records request page shows the county's webform fields, report categories, delivery formats, fee acknowledgments, and public-records certifications.
That request route is for records in sheriff custody or control. Court filings, formal charges, and judgments are requested through court records channels instead.
Jail Prison Locator Differences
Coos County jail custody, Oregon state prison custody, federal prison custody, and immigration detention are separate systems. A person may start in the county jail after arrest, appear on the daily court list for arraignment, move through Circuit Court, and later transfer to ODOC if sentenced to state prison. The county roster will not be the authoritative location tool after that transfer.
| Custody Type | Where to Search | Best Use |
|---|---|---|
| Current county jail custody | Coos County Jail roster or Booking Division | Local arrests, pretrial custody, local sentences, probation/parole sanctions. |
| Oregon state prison | Oregon Offender Search | Adults committed to ODOC after sentencing. |
| Release notification | Oregon VISOR | Release, transfer, escape, or death notices for county or state custody. |
| Federal sentenced custody | BOP Inmate Locator | Federal prisoners incarcerated from 1982 to present. |
| Immigration detention | ICE Online Detainee Locator | Immigration detainees, not ordinary county jail bookings. |
Coos County Detention Facility
Only one current detention facility is in the resolved Coos County facility map for this site. Shutter Creek Correctional Institution was historically located in the North Bend or Hauser area, but it is not on ODOC's current list of Oregon prison facilities. No current BOP prison, ICE detention center, or ODOC prison was verified in Coos County.
- Coos County Jail holds adults booked in local custody, including pretrial detainees, local sentenced inmates, probation or parole sanctions, and other local holds reflected on the roster.
For travel, use the jail address rather than the sheriff administrative address. The jail is in central Coquille near the courthouse and sheriff area, while records and administrative offices use related but distinct county contact points.
Coos County Inmate FAQ
How big is the Coos County inmate population?
No official current average daily population was published in the county sources reviewed. The reliable county figure is capacity: Coos County materials document 98 beds when fully staffed and 49 usable beds when staffing or funding cuts reduce capacity.
How do I search the Coos County inmate population?
Use the live Coos County Jail roster linked from the sheriff's Alpha Roster page, then search by name or filter by status. If the person is not listed, call the Booking Division, check VISOR, search ODOC, or use federal/ICE tools as the custody type requires.
Are Coos County mugshots public?
The roster supports booking images for current entries when an image is available. Oregon law restricts law-enforcement release of booking photos before conviction except for listed purposes, so a missing photo should be handled through the sheriff records request process.
Where are court charges found?
The jail roster shows booking-level charges and bail fields. Formal court charges, filings, hearings, and dispositions are found through Oregon Judicial Department records, OJCIN, or Coos County Circuit Court.
