Emery County Sheriff and Jail
The Emery County Sheriff's Office runs the jail and tracks released inmates. Staff book each person, log charges, and note the release date. You can call the office for help on any case. The office sits in Castle Dale and serves the whole county.
Deputies handle arrests and transport. The jail holds people waiting for court and those doing short terms. When an inmate is released, the file stays open to the public through a records request. You can ask for the booking sheet, the charge list, and the release note. The Sheriff's Office also works with the Utah Department of Corrections when a case moves to state custody. Larger cases may end up in prison, and the DOC keeps the long term record from that point on.

For older records, file a GRAMA request under Utah Code Title 63G Chapter 2. GRAMA lets the public see most jail records. Some info stays private, like medical notes or juvenile files. You fill out a form, pay a small fee, and wait up to 10 working days for a reply.

After the booking, the case moves to the Seventh District Court or a local justice court. The Utah Courts site has case info for the district court. You can search by name or case number.
