Where Murray Released Inmates Are Held
Murray Police patrol the city and make arrests. The city runs a justice court for minor cases. But Murray does not run a jail. Anyone booked by Murray police goes to the Salt Lake County Metro Jail.

Salt Lake County Jail Roster
The Salt Lake County Sheriff keeps the active jail roster. It lists current inmates, not old cases. For a recent Murray booking, the roster is the best first stop. You can search by name. The listing shows charges, booking date, and bond amount. When a person is released, the name comes off the list soon after.
For help confirming a booking, the jail has a public information line. Staff can tell you if a person is in custody. They cannot give out private info like medical records or release plans. That is due to jail policy and state privacy rules.
Note: The roster only shows people currently in custody at the county jail.
