Fremont County Jail Overview
Fremont County Jail is operated by the Fremont County Sheriff's Office. The county contact page states that the Sheriff's Office maintains the County Jail, and the sheriff page identifies Bart Quayle as Fremont County Sheriff. The jail and sheriff's office are listed at 146 North 2nd West in St. Anthony, Idaho, with the main public phone number 208-624-4482.
This is a local jail, not a state prison. It is the correct starting point for local pretrial detainees, short county sentences, recent arrestees, and people held on local or other-agency warrants under sheriff authority. It is not the correct first lookup for sentenced Idaho Department of Correction residents at St. Anthony Work Camp.
The county does not publish a separate jail roster, recent-bookings report, booking-photo gallery, jail visiting schedule, commissary vendor, phone vendor, or local mail policy in the official sources located. Because of that, the practical access chain is VINELink for custody notification, the sheriff phone line for same-day confirmation, and Fremont County JustFOIA for records not posted online.

The sheriff page supports the local custody route, while the statewide and state-prison systems are handled by separate official tools.
Fremont County Jail Capacity and Population
The Idaho Sheriffs' Association Directory of Idaho's Jails is the strongest public capacity source found for this facility. It lists Fremont County Jail with rated capacity of 20 and average daily population of 14.5. Using those figures, the directory count equals 72.5% capacity utilization. The county site did not publish a current roster count, annual booking count, pod list, average length of stay, or demographic breakdown.
The Idaho Sheriffs' Association jail directory screenshot below is a successful manifest image that matches the county jail population data. It supports the jail's bed count and average daily population rather than a live roster count.
Use the directory figures as capacity context only. For whether a specific person is in custody today, use VINELink and the sheriff's office because the county does not publish a live roster count in the located official material.
How to Look Up an Inmate at Fremont County Jail
Fremont County's official sheriff page links to Idaho VINELink instead of a county-hosted inmate roster. VINELink is a custody and notification tool, not a full booking-record archive. If the person is newly arrested, data delays, name spelling, short-term release, transfer, or a hold can affect whether the person appears.
- Open Idaho VINELink person search and choose the Idaho person-search path if prompted.
- Search by the person's name. Exact live field labels were not fully inspectable because the interface is JavaScript-heavy.
- If a match appears, review the custody status and register for release, transfer, or court-date notifications where available.
- If no match appears, call Fremont County Sheriff's Office at 208-624-4482 for same-day booking, release, bond, or transfer questions.
- If the person was sentenced to state prison, search the Idaho Department of Correction Resident/Client Search instead.
For formal court charges after a jail arrest, use the Fremont County court records after jail arrest page and iCourt/Odyssey. Jail booking allegations can differ from the charges the prosecutor files in court.
Fremont County Jail Address and Contact

Visiting Someone at Fremont County Jail
No official Fremont County jail visiting schedule, video visitation rule, visitor ID rule, dress code, child-visitor rule, attorney-visit rule, parking instruction, locker policy, or visitor-entry screening rule was located on the county site. Do not rely on unofficial jail-guide pages for current rules. Call 208-624-4482 before traveling to confirm whether visits are available, what identification is required, and whether a visit must be scheduled.
| Visitation Item | Official Fremont County Source Status | Practical Step |
|---|---|---|
| In-person schedule | Not located in official county sources | Call the sheriff's office before travel. |
| Video visitation | Not located in official county sources | Ask whether video visits are available and which vendor is used. |
| Visitor ID | Not located in official county sources | Confirm ID requirements before arriving. |
| Dress code and prohibited items | Not located in official county sources | Ask about phones, bags, medication, cash, and personal items. |
| Attorney visits | Not located in official county sources | Attorneys should coordinate directly with the sheriff's office. |
Mail, Phone, and Money at Fremont County Jail
The official county pages checked did not publish a jail mail address format, inmate phone vendor, video visit vendor, commissary vendor, deposit kiosk, online deposit provider, or fee table. That absence matters because sending money or mail to the wrong address or vendor can delay delivery. Confirm custody and current instructions with the jail before mailing anything or sending funds.
| Service | Officially Located Detail | What to Do |
|---|---|---|
| Mail Address | No jail-specific inmate mail format located | Call 208-624-4482 before mailing letters or photos. |
| Phone / Video | No vendor located in official county sources | Ask the jail how phone accounts or video visits work, if available. |
| Money Deposit | No deposit vendor or fee schedule located | Confirm accepted payment methods before sending money. |
| Commissary | No county commissary policy located | Ask whether commissary is available and what items can be purchased. |
Booking and Intake at Fremont County Jail
Fremont County does not publish a local step-by-step booking manual. A careful local workflow is that a person arrested by the Fremont County Sheriff's Office, Idaho State Police, St. Anthony Police, Ashton Police, or another agency in the county may be brought to the Fremont County Jail if local booking is required. Jail staff confirm identity, arresting agency, warrants, holds, and paperwork authorizing detention.
Booking records can include name, date and time, arresting agency, alleged charges, holds, bond status, and release status, but Fremont County did not publish a sample booking sheet online. Booking photos and fingerprints are common booking events, but no official county roster with booking photos was located. Request a booking sheet or booking photograph through Fremont County JustFOIA if the item is not available through public channels and is legally releasable.
Under Idaho Criminal Rule 5, an arrested defendant must be taken before a magistrate without unreasonable delay and no more than 24 hours after arrest, excluding Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays. Bond, release conditions, and continued custody are court-linked issues, so check iCourt once a criminal case has been filed.
About Fremont County Jail
The official county pages do not provide a detailed jail building history, housing-unit list, medical-unit description, program list, accreditation statement, or litigation page. The research did locate a 2024 local news report about a jail upgrade after a two-year building process, but it is not an official source for rules, capacity, mail, visiting, or bond procedures. Use official county, sheriff, iCourt, VINELink, and public-records channels for operational information.
The Fremont County Jail should also be separated from state, federal, and immigration custody. St. Anthony Work Camp is an IDOC prison/work camp for sentenced residents. The Federal Bureau of Prisons locator covers sentenced federal prisoners, and ICE ODLS covers immigration detainees. No BOP prison or ICE detention facility was located in Fremont County in the official sources checked.
Note: Confirm custody, visitation, mail, money, and bond instructions with Fremont County Jail before traveling or sending funds.
