Curry County Jail Overview
Curry County Jail is operated by the Curry County Sheriff's Office. It is a county jail and local correctional facility, not a state prison. The jail is in Gold Beach and receives adults in custody after local arrest, court remand, sentence to local jail time, or transport from another local agency process.
The official jail page says the building was built in 1972 and lists a maximum capacity of 35. Public sources did not identify separate pod names, a separate work-release annex, a city jail in Brookings, Gold Beach, or Port Orford, or an Oregon DOC, BOP, or ICE detention facility inside Curry County. That makes Curry County Jail the only facility page in this project.
Curry County Jail Population
The sheriff's monthly Corrections Division reports show the jail usually operating below its posted maximum in sampled 2024 and 2025 months. March 2025 listed average daily population of 22, with 10 sentenced and 10 unsentenced adults reported in the extracted figures. January 2025 listed ADP 21, and February 2025 listed ADP 18. March 2024 was the highest sampled month at ADP 30.
| Month | ADP | Release / Intake Detail |
|---|---|---|
| Jan. 2025 | 21 | 50 intakes, 53 releases, 6 SB 48 releases, 17 policy force releases. |
| Feb. 2025 | 18 | 53 intakes, 46 releases, 3 SB 48 releases, 20 policy force releases. |
| Mar. 2025 | 22 | 51 intakes, 52 releases, 6 SB 48 releases, 16 policy force releases. |
| Mar. 2024 | 30 | Highest sampled month against the 35-person maximum capacity. |
Who Curry County Jail Holds
Curry County Jail holds adults arrested by the Curry County Sheriff's Office and local agencies such as Brookings Police Department, Gold Beach Police Department, Port Orford Police Department, Oregon State Police, and sometimes other agencies shown in monthly reports. The roster's View menu also proves that the public system is broader than a single "current inmates only" label.
- Pre-sentence adults: The roster menu uses the exact spelling "PreSentance" for this status.
- Sentenced jail population: Some people serve local jail sentences rather than state prison terms.
- Booked and released entries: The status option exists, but the county does not publish a retention period.
- Transport or work status: The View menu includes Transport, Inmate Worker, and Work Center.
- Not state prison custody: Oregon DOC custody is searched through the state Offender Search.
Look Up Curry County Jail Inmates
Use the JusticeConnect Curry County Jail roster for local custody. The public roster opens to a grid with Search and View controls, not a long form with separate last name, first name, birth date, and booking number fields. Click a row to open the detail popup for demographics, booking dates, release date if known, facility, charge information, docket, arresting agency, and bail amount if populated.
- Open the official Curry County Jail roster.
- Use All Inmates first, then narrow by status only if needed.
- Type a name or partial name in Search.
- Sort by Booked for recent jail intake records.
- Open the row detail and compare roster charge text with court records before treating it as final.
- Call 541-247-3344 or use the sheriff record request form if the roster does not answer the custody question.
Curry County Jail Address
The physical jail address and mailing address are different. Use the Colvin Street address for the facility location. Use the Moore Street suite address format when writing to an adult in custody, and include the person's AIC name as the recipient line.

Visiting Curry County Jail
Use the sheriff's visitation information page and call the jail before travel. The research did not capture a current social visitation schedule from accessible text, so exact hours should not be guessed. Professional visitors should use the official professional visitor agreement where required.
| Visitor Type | Schedule | Rules / Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Social visitors | Use official visitation page | Call 541-247-3344 before travel; bring government photo identification. |
| Professional visitors | By professional visitor rules | Use the professional visitor agreement; legal and professional visits differ from social visits. |
| Accessibility or entry questions | Call before arrival | ADA entrance and visitor parking details were not located in official text. |
The sheriff's visitation page is captured below from the manifest source. It is the correct official starting point before scheduling or traveling to Curry County Jail.
The screenshot belongs in the facility context because it points to facility-specific visiting rules rather than a statewide prison visiting system.
Curry County Jail Mail Money
The sheriff's jail page links separate pages for mail/contact, phones and tablets, money, visitation, VISOR/VINE, PREA, suicide-prevention resources, jail forms, and the Adult in Custody Manual. Jail staff will not pass routine messages to adults in custody except a phone number or a verifiable emergency, according to the jail page.
| Service | Provider / Detail | Use |
|---|---|---|
| Mail address | Curry County Jail, C/O AIC Name, 94235 Moore St. Ste 311, Gold Beach, OR 97444 | Use for letters when allowed by current jail rules. |
| Phones and tablets | Dedicated sheriff phone/tablet page | Check current communication rules and account requirements. |
| Trust account deposits | GettingOut | Linked from the jail page; confirm vendor fees before payment. |
| Gift baskets | CorrectPay | Linked from the jail page; eligibility and fees are vendor-controlled. |
Curry County Jail Booking
Local booking starts when a law-enforcement agency arrests or remands a person and transports them to Curry County Jail. The roster data model supports booking number, file number, booked date, charge status, image URL, scheduled release date, and detail fields. Public housing unit or pod names were not located in official sources.
Release information can involve several channels. The roster charge table may show a bail amount, but court records and jail staff should be checked before relying on it. Oregon release terms include release agreement, personal recognizance, security release, no-release holds, and SB 48 release categories. Commercial bail-bondsman wording should not be treated as the standard Curry County release process.
Curry County Jail Records
Use the Sheriff's Office documents and forms page for the official record request form, Adult in Custody Manual, professional visitor agreement, and monthly report links. A records request fits older booking records, jail records not visible online, incident or case reports, and requests that need review or redaction under Oregon law.
Note: A missing roster record may mean release, transfer, name mismatch, state prison custody, federal custody, or a record not posted online.
Curry Jail and Other Custody
Curry County Jail is the county jail lookup, not the statewide prison locator. After a felony prison sentence, a person may leave the county jail and enter Oregon Department of Corrections custody. Use ODOC Offender Search for that stage. Use BOP for sentenced federal custody and ICE ODLS for immigration detention. VISOR is the Oregon custody notification portal powered by VINE.
| System | Use When |
|---|---|
| Curry County Jail roster | The person is booked in local Curry County jail custody or a status shown by the roster. |
| ODOC Offender Search | The person has moved to state prison custody or state supervision. |
| BOP locator | The person is serving a federal sentence. |
| ICE ODLS | The person may be in immigration detention. |
Curry County Jail Visitor Entry
Curry County Jail's physical address resolves to the Colvin Street jail location in Gold Beach. From Brookings or Harbor, the practical route is north on U.S. 101 into Gold Beach, then local streets to Colvin Street. From Port Orford, the practical route is south on U.S. 101 into Gold Beach. Coastal travel can be affected by weather, slides, work zones, and seasonal traffic, so route details should be checked close to travel time.
The official jail research did not locate a named visitor parking lot, parking rate, public lobby hours, or ADA entrance description. Those gaps should not be filled with generic claims. Visitors should call 541-247-3344 before travel, avoid blocked law-enforcement or intake areas, and follow the sheriff's visitation instructions. Professional visitors should use the professional visitor agreement rather than relying on social visiting rules.
Curry County Jail Facts
The jail's rural coastal setting shows up in operational details. Monthly reports track transport miles, medical transports, other transports, jail cases, use of force, and PREA reports. February 2024 listed 2,459 transport miles, October 2024 listed 2,113, and January 2025 listed 2,087. Those figures show that transport is a tracked part of Curry County Jail operations, though the reports do not identify every destination.
Public jail materials also point to safety and daily-life sources. The sheriff has a PREA page, a jail suicide-prevention resources page, an Adult in Custody Manual, and jail forms. Those sources should be used for facility rules, grievances, allowed mail, requests, conduct rules, and sexual-abuse reporting. The public research did not locate GED schedules, vocational programs, religious-service schedules, or an accreditation statement, so the Curry County Jail page should stay with the documented sources.
