Find Union County Inmates

Union County inmate search starts with the current jail roster, but the local route is a roster PDF rather than a searchable booking database. Union County jail roster search results should be read as current custody information, not as a final court record or statewide prison record. The inmate record path also includes the jail information line, sheriff records requests, visitation approval, mail rules, commissary deposits, and bail processing. For people moved from county custody to state custody, Oregon's statewide offender search is a separate channel.

Union County Jail Roster PDF

The Union County Sheriff's Office operates the Union County Correctional Facility at 1109 K Ave in La Grande. The corrections page says the facility opened in 1979, has a maximum capacity of 37 inmates, and averages about 1,200 bookings each year. Prisoners may come from the Union County Sheriff's Office, La Grande Police Department, Oregon State Police, Union County Community Corrections, Wallowa County, transport entries, or out-of-county holds.

The official inmate lookup route is the UCSO jail roster page, which leads to a PDF roster after the user acknowledges a disclaimer. UCSO warns that it disclaims responsibility for typographical errors and accuracy of web information. The roster is useful for current custody, but it is not a court conviction record, a statewide prison search, or a full arrest report. No official Union County Sheriff's Office mobile app and no official La Grande Police app were located in the official pages reviewed.

The Union County jail roster should also be read with the local court split in mind. A person housed in La Grande may have a Union County Circuit Court case, a Justice Court citation issue, a La Grande Police booking, a Wallowa County hold, an Oregon State Police arrest, or an out-of-county detainer. The roster's arrest agency field helps sort that out, but it does not decide which court has the full file. For court dates, pleas, judgments, or sentence terms, the court record remains the controlling source.

The Union County jail visitation page explains in-person and video visit approval before a visit can occur.

That schedule matters because a roster match does not authorize contact by itself; the jail still controls visitation approval and timing.


Use the Union County Roster

The jail roster route is simple, but it is easy to read too much into it. The PDF lists people currently in the Union County jail at the time the roster was printed. It does not provide individualized profile pages, mugshots, birth dates, housing units, release dates, or full court histories in the inspected sample. For case status, court dates, or final dispositions, use Union County Circuit Court records, the court named in the citation, or the relevant lower court.

If the person is not listed, that can mean several things. The person may not be in Union County custody, may have been released, may be in a state prison rather than the county jail, or may be held by another county or federal authority. The Oregon DOC offender search is the researched statewide route for sentenced state-prison custody. VISOR is useful for victim notification, not for replacing the local roster.

  1. Open the UCSO jail roster page and read the disclaimer before opening the roster PDF.
  2. Search within the PDF by name if the viewer supports find-in-page, or scan the alphabetized name entries.
  3. Match the inmate number, booking date, arrest agency, charges, and bond line to the person sought.
  4. Call the jail information line at 541-963-1020 when custody status, file number, or bail information must be confirmed.
  5. Use court records, OJD records routes, or sheriff records requests for documents that are not shown on the roster.

Note: The inspected roster was a PDF list, so there were no search boxes for last name, first name, booking number, or date of birth.


Union County Roster Fields

The roster search-field table is different from a typical inmate portal because the Union County route did not expose form inputs. It displayed roster data directly in a PDF. The table below records what a user can work with from the official roster route rather than inventing a database search form.

Inmate Record Field Inventory

The sample inmate record inventory from the UCSO roster helps separate known roster facts from missing details. A roster line can show why a person is held and what bond line appears, but it does not replace the court register, sheriff report, or prosecutor filing. For charges that later move into court, the case record may show arraignment, plea, hearing events, judgment, sentence, or dismissal.

Union County Jail Contact

The Union County Correctional Facility is the researched county jail facility for the inmate roster. It is operated by the Union County Sheriff's Office in the same K Avenue public-safety cluster as the main courthouse. Jail custody questions should use the jail line, while sheriff records questions should use the records specialist channel. The sheriff's general biography page notes that criminal reports should go to the non-emergency line, not directly to the sheriff.

Charges Bonds and Holds

Roster charges are custody entries, not final findings. They may show an ORS number, a criminal charge, a probation violation, a fugitive warrant, a detainer, or an out-of-county agency. Some entries show No Bail, while others show a 10% bond or a full bond with a judge notation. A person may also be held for another agency even while physically housed at the Union County jail. That is why the arrest agency and charge text must be read together.

Bond
A release-related financial condition tied to custody or court appearance.
Detainer
A hold or notice that another authority wants custody or action.
Probation violation
An allegation that a person did not comply with court-ordered supervision.
Failure to appear
A missed court appearance or citation response that may lead to a warrant or sanction.

Oregon DOC Offender Search is the statewide fallback for sentenced state-prison or post-county custody records. VISOR is separate and supports victim notification. The Oregon State Police sex offender registry is also separate and does not list every person on the jail roster.


Union County Visitation Schedule

In-person visitation at UCCF is by prior appointment. To schedule a visit, call 541-963-1020 between 9:00 a.m. and 1:00 p.m. on the day of the visit. For Saturday visits, callers may call on Friday. Holiday appointments are allowed when the holiday falls on a regular visitation day and use the normal call-on-day process. Visits are non-contact, one adult and two children may visit at a time, and an inmate may refuse a visit.

DayIn-person visitation schedule
MondayNo visitation
TuesdayMales 2:00-3:00; females 3:30-4:00
WednesdayNo visitation
ThursdayMales 2:00-3:00; females 3:30-4:00
FridayNo visitation
SaturdayMales 1:30-3:00; females 3:30-4:00
SundayNo visitation

Visitors can be denied or removed for being under the influence, refusing search, violating rules, failing to supervise children, attempting contraband, or creating good cause for denial. A protected person may not visit a restrained person when a restraining order or other valid court order bars contact.


Video Visits and Mail

Video visitation starts with friends or family requesting approval online at secure.visitel.us. The jail must approve the request before it appears on the calendar or visitation screen. At the visit time, the approved user logs onto the kiosk, chooses the visit, and starts the session. Video visits are 30 minutes long. Monday through Friday hours are 7:00 a.m.-11:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m.-4:30 p.m.; Saturday and Sunday hours are 7:00 a.m.-11:00 a.m.

The Union County inmate mail rules set the required mail format and item limits.

Union County inmate records inmate mail rules

Mail is part of the inmate-contact process, but the rules also protect jail security by refusing altered, affixed, or contaminated items.

Mail should be addressed with the inmate name and Union County Correctional Facility, 1109 K Ave., La Grande, Oregon 97850. Allowed items include letters in ink or pencil, paperback books sent directly from a publisher or retail outlet, new unopened plain white underwear, socks, and T-shirts, and plain cards with nothing affixed. Money orders and cash may be mailed, but UCSO strongly recommends not sending cash. Personal checks are not accepted.


Commissary Money and Bail

Inmates can buy commissary items such as envelopes, stamps, shampoo, and candy. Money can be deposited through JailATM.com, and inmates are limited to receiving $300 per week. A kiosk in the visitation lobby accepts credit card or cash deposits. Corrections staff cannot take cash or money orders over the counter for an inmate, even when the visitor is already at the facility.

The Union County inmate commissary page describes the deposit channel and the weekly receiving limit.

Union County inmate records commissary deposits

Commissary funds are separate from bail, so a deposit to an inmate account does not release a person from custody.

The Union County bail payment page explains that bail may be paid by cash or card through GovPayNow.com using PLC Code 7855 or by calling 888-604-7888.

Union County inmate records bail payment instructions

Bail goes to the courts for processing after payment, and any refund at case end is court-controlled and returned to the actual payer after allowed deductions.
