Find Summit County Jail Releases

Summit County Jail Release Paths

Summit County Jail is the county’s operative detention site. The Sheriff describes it as a full-service jail for people arrested in the county, pretrial arrestees, convicted misdemeanor offenders, and some Utah Department of Corrections prisoners held under contract. The custody class controls what a departure means. A local detainee can leave after bond, time served, dismissal, probation, or another court order. A person may instead move to UDC, another jail, federal custody, or an immigration authority.

A contracted UDC prisoner remains in state legal custody even when the bed is in Park City. UDC says almost all state prisoners held in county contract jails return first to Utah State Correctional Facility before a community release. A physical departure from Summit County Jail can therefore be a transfer within the correctional system. The county roster cannot classify the event. Confirm it through the Summit jail entry, the receiving agency, a court order, UDC, the Board, or VINE as the circumstances require.

Confirm Summit County Jail Release

Open the current inmate-list landing page and follow its changing date-coded PDF. A listed name means only that the report showed the person housed at its snapshot time. The PDF’s main fields are Name, Booking Number, Location, and Time Incarcerated. It has no release date, release reason, charge, bond, photo, court, or destination. A missing name cannot by itself distinguish community release from transfer, a status change, or an update issue.

1. Match the full name and booking number on the current Summit roster when available.
2. If the name is absent, call the jail and ask whether custody ended, transferred, or continued under another status.
3. Check the controlling court docket for bond, dismissal, sentence, probation, warrant, or commitment.
4. If UDC custody is involved, read Location, Housing Facility, Release Date/Type, and the latest Board decision.
5. Request the jail custody history when a written release timestamp or disposition is needed.

Call 435-615-3723 with the full name, booking number, and birth date when known. Staff may limit information or ask for more identity details. A phone response is a current lead, not always a certified record. Write down the office, date, time, and answer. The full Summit County released inmate search explains how to add the court, VINE, UDC, BOP, or ICE check without confusing the systems.

Summit County Jail Release Records

The documentary local source is the jail-management custody history or booking and release entry. A narrow request should identify the person, approximate booking interval, and booking number if known. Ask for the booked timestamp, release timestamp, release disposition or type, destination or receiving agency if maintained and public, and the booking image only if it is needed and legally releasable. The county’s NextRequest portal is the preferred online route.

The Sheriff forms page and downloadable GRAMA form provide written alternatives. Records administration lists Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., at 435-615-3501, with fax 435-608-4361. Request electronic delivery, a fee estimate, and segregable public portions. Utah Code §63G-2-204 governs the response process. Fees, clarification, record classification, and extraordinary circumstances can affect timing, so do not promise a fixed production day.

Note: Confirm the correct counter before traveling because detention and public administrative contacts use different Park City addresses.

Summit County Jail Custody Scope

The county reports capacity for 100 people. UDC’s April 2025 county-jail program book lists 99 total beds and 35 contracted or available to Corrections. The one-bed difference is a source and date distinction, not a number to silently reconcile. The UDC book also says state referrals of female prisoners stopped on January 27, 2022. These counts describe facility capacity and contract use, not the current location or release of a named person.

The official jail page describes the operator, people held, capacity, and program role. The source capture shows why Summit County Jail must be treated as both the main county facility and a possible physical placement for state prisoners.

The person’s legal custodian, not just the building name, determines whether to use Sheriff records or UDC and Board records.

Summit County Jail Reentry Programs

The jail incorporates medical and dental care, a kitchen, and court access intended to reduce transports. County material identifies substance-use treatment, GED and high-school work, vocational and life-skills teaching, and inmate work. UDC’s program book adds AA and NA, St. Mary’s services, mental-health sessions, and 34 work assignments. It estimated yearly savings of about $60,000 for inside work and more than $40,000 for outside community projects.

Those details explain the local correctional setting but do not establish that one person completed a program, earned release, or received help after leaving. Program participation and release authority are separate facts. For an individual, rely on the court, Sheriff, UDC, or Board record rather than drawing a conclusion from the facility’s general offerings.

Summit County Jail UDC Transfers

A UDC prisoner temporarily housed at Summit County Jail should be searched through the state offender system and the Board hearing and decision portal. UDC’s public detail uses the exact label “Release Date/Type.” It also lists Location, Housing Facility, and case-manager fields. Read them together. A community placement can mean imprisonment ended while parole or probation continues.

UDC’s release-day policy says Tuesday processing is standard for state prisoners. Almost all prisoners in contract county jails first return to Utah State Correctional Facility, and completed releases generally occur through the USCF Visiting building. Community-correctional-center placements are transported by UDC. These state procedures do not govern an ordinary Summit bond, dismissal, or county sentence completion.

Summit County Jail Release Logistics

No official source established routine release hours, a weekend or holiday adjustment, the exit door, a family waiting point, gate money, transport help, property and identification handoff, or the way an account balance is refunded for county detainees. Call the jail before travel. Do not borrow the state Tuesday procedure for a person leaving local custody after bond or a county court order.

The county financial-account page says each prisoner receives an account at booking. It lists cash deposits at the jail during business hours, mailed money orders or cashier’s checks, MoneyGram, and JailATM with form 5500, facility code SMT, the prisoner’s name, and name number. Housing kiosks are listed from 6 a.m. to 10:30 p.m. daily. The page does not state the release-balance refund method, so that detail must come from jail staff.

Where should family wait? The research did not establish an official waiting location. Call 435-615-3723 and follow current staff instructions instead of assuming access to the secure facility area.

Summit County Jail Court Holds

Summit Justice Court handles Class B and C misdemeanors, while felony matters use the state District Court trail. A court order may authorize release, set bail, impose probation, or commit the person elsewhere. It still does not prove the time jail staff carried out the order. Compare the signed order or docket entry with the custody-history release timestamp.

The county warns that warrant data can change daily or hourly. Someone who reports to jail on a warrant stays until bail is posted or transport to court occurs. The page says the next available court date is first-booked and first-seen and may take up to ten days, while bail may allow an earlier departure. An AP&P, judge, or “No Bail” hold cannot be cleared by payment alone. A static warrant entry is therefore not a release-date calculator.

Bondable

A charge for which an approved payment or surety may permit pretrial departure.

AP&P hold

A state supervision hold that Summit says requires a judge’s order.

Transfer

Movement to a new custodian rather than freedom from custody.

Release record

The booking and custody entry that documents the local jail event.
