Sevier County Jail and Inmate Roster
The Sevier County Jail is at 835 East 300 North, Richfield, UT 84701. The main phone is 435-896-2660. The jail hosts a live inmate roster that updates daily. Some updates hit the roster as often as every 15 minutes, which is rare for a small county. This means the roster gives a near real-time view of who is in the jail. Use it to check custody status or to see recent bookings.
Because the jail holds inmates for three counties and for the state DOC, the roster shows a mix of local, held, and state inmates. When an inmate is let go, they leave the roster soon after. For a release alert, pair the roster with VINE so you get a note the moment custody status changes.
Note: The Sevier County roster is one of the most up-to-date in rural Utah.

Bookings and Release Files
Each booking in Sevier County creates a file. The file shows full name, date of the arrest, the charges, the bond, and the court dates. When the jail lets a person go, staff add the release date and the reason. Common reasons are bail, dismissal, time served, or a move to state prison. Most of the file is public under state records law. Read the full text at Utah Code § 63G-2.
Some parts of a jail file stay closed. Medical notes, juvenile files, and open case tips are not public. Staff redact those parts first. Fee waivers may apply when the record serves the public good. The Sheriff should reply to a written GRAMA request in about 10 business days.
