Curry County Inmate Population Overview
The Curry County inmate population is concentrated in one local detention facility, Curry County Jail in Gold Beach. The sheriff's jail page identifies the jail as the county facility, gives the public jail line, links the jail population roster, and lists the maximum capacity as 35. The jail holds adults in custody before trial, people waiting for sentencing, people serving local jail sentences, inmate workers, transports, and people booked by local agencies.
That local count is not the same as the full universe of people with Curry County cases. A person sentenced to an Oregon prison is searched through Oregon Department of Corrections Offender Search. A sentenced federal prisoner is searched through the Federal Bureau of Prisons locator, and immigration detention uses ICE Online Detainee Locator System. No state prison, BOP prison, or ICE detention facility was located in Curry County official facility lists.
Curry County Inmate Population Statistics
The best Curry County inmate population figures come from the sheriff's monthly Corrections Division reports linked on the Sheriff's Office statistics page. The March 2025 report listed average daily population of 22, total intakes of 51, and total releases of 52. Against the jail's posted maximum capacity of 35, that month was about 63 percent of maximum capacity.
| Measure | Figure | Source / Date |
|---|---|---|
| Rated jail capacity | 35 | Curry County Sheriff's Office jail page, inspected July 4, 2026 |
| Average daily jail population | 22 | Sheriff's Corrections Division report, March 2025 |
| Total intakes | 51 | Sheriff's Corrections Division report, March 2025 |
| Total releases | 52 | Sheriff's Corrections Division report, March 2025 |
Curry County Jail Population Trends
Curry County Jail is small enough that a few bookings change the population rate in a visible way. The sampled reports do not support a claim that the jail is currently overcrowded. They show a narrow but meaningful swing, from 18 average daily population in several months to 30 in March 2024. The trend is best described as fluctuation within a small-capacity jail, not a straight rise or fall.
| Month | ADP | Sentenced | Unsentenced | Total Intakes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mar. 2024 | 30 | 14 | 16 | 53 |
| Jun. 2024 | 19 | 6 | 13 | 65 |
| Sep. 2024 | 23 | 14 | 9 | 69 |
| Nov. 2024 | 18 | 7 | 11 | 48 |
| Jan. 2025 | 21 | 6 | 15 | 50 |
| Mar. 2025 | 22 | 10 | 10 | 51 |
The reports also show local release categories that affect the Curry County inmate population. January 2025 listed 6 SB 48 releases and 17 policy force releases. February 2025 listed 3 SB 48 releases and 20 policy force releases. Those are sheriff-reported categories, so the page should not convert them into legal advice about one person's release eligibility.
Who Makes Up Curry County Inmates
The Curry County inmate population is mixed by court stage. January 2025 had an average of 6 sentenced and 15 unsentenced people. March 2025 had 10 sentenced and 10 unsentenced people. That split matters because a roster entry can refer to a person waiting for first appearance, a person serving a local jail sentence, a person awaiting transport, or a person with a status such as conditional release, dismissed, or did not file.
- Sentenced and unsentenced: Monthly sheriff reports publish both categories, but the split changes by month.
- Male and female population: March 2025 listed average male population of 18 and female population of 4.
- Agency intakes: March 2025 intakes included the Sheriff's Office, Brookings Police Department, Port Orford Police Department, Gold Beach Police Department, and Oregon State Police.
- Other custody systems: ODOC, BOP, USMS, and ICE searches are separate from the county roster.
Curry County Jail Capacity Laws
Oregon law gives the legal frame for Curry County jail data. ORS chapter 169 requires counties and cities to provide or contract for local correctional facilities, creates a population emergency framework, and sets standards for local jails. ORS chapter 192 supplies the general public-records path, while booking photos are treated under a separate Oregon statute.
Key statutes:
ORS 169.030 covers local correctional facility duties for committed prisoners.
ORS 169.042 to 169.046 address maximum jail population limits and county jail population emergency procedures.
ORS 169.076 sets local jail standards for operation, health, sanitation, separation, and prisoner treatment.
ORS 192.314 gives the general right to inspect nonexempt public records of Oregon public bodies.
Search Curry County Jail Roster
The Curry County Jail roster is the main person-level search channel for local jail custody. The county jail page labels the link "Jail Population," and the roster is hosted through JusticeConnect with CMI credited in the footer. The public interface opens to a grid with a keyword Search box, a View dropdown, sortable columns, page-size controls, pager buttons, and a refresh control.
- Open the official Curry County JusticeConnect roster.
- Leave View on All Inmates for the broadest Curry County inmate population search.
- Type part or all of the person's name in Search.
- Use the View dropdown for statuses such as Booked and Released, PreSentance, Sentenced, Transport, or Did Not File.
- Sort by Booked when looking for a recent booking.
- Click a row to open the inmate detail popup and review charges, docket, bail amount, and release date if present.
The official Curry County Jail page is shown in the screenshot below. It is the county source that ties together the jail address, 24-hour line, roster link, capacity, and service pages.
This source is useful because it confirms the roster is the county jail population link, not a third-party mugshot site or a statewide prison database.
Curry County Inmate Search Fields
Curry County's roster should be described as a grid-first search, not a form with separate first name, last name, birth date, and booking number boxes. Booking number and file number exist in the underlying data model, but the public interface presents a general keyword field and a View dropdown.
| Field Label | Type | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Search | Keyword input | No | Uses a Kendo keyword filter. A partial name can help when spelling is uncertain. |
| View | Dropdown | No | Options include All Inmates, Booked and Released, Conditional Release, Dismissed, Did Not File, House Arrest, Inmate Worker, PreSentance, Sentenced, Transport, and Work Center. |
| Grid sorting | Column headers | No | Visible sortable columns include Inmate Name, Age, Sex, Booked, and Scheduled Release. |
| Page size | Dropdown | No | Options are 15, 25, 50, 100, 150, and 200 records per page. |
What Curry County Records Show
A Curry County roster row can show an image or placeholder, inmate name, age, sex, booked date, and scheduled release date. The row-click detail popup can add date of birth, physical descriptors, days served, release date, facility, and charge rows. Charge rows may include offense number, offense description, status, arresting agency, docket, and bail amount.
- Adult in custody
- Oregon's term for a person held in jail or prison custody.
- Docket
- A court case reference that can help move from the jail roster to court records.
- Detainer
- A hold or request from another agency that can block release even when one charge has a bail amount.
- Scheduled release
- A roster date if set. A blank field means the public roster did not provide the date.
Curry County Custody Lookup Channels
When the Curry County inmate population search fails, the next step depends on custody type. A person may have left the county jail after sentencing, may be in federal custody, may be in immigration detention, or may have only a court case with no current jail custody. Oregon also uses VISOR, powered by VINE, for custody notification and victim alerts.
| Custody Type | Lookup Channel | What It Covers |
|---|---|---|
| County jail | Curry County JusticeConnect roster | Local adult jail population and some status-filtered booking records. |
| State prison | Oregon DOC Offender Search | Sentenced prison custody and post-prison supervision records where public. |
| Federal prison | BOP Inmate Locator | Sentenced federal inmates from 1982 forward. |
| Immigration detention | ICE ODLS | ICE detainee searches by A-number/country or biographical data. |
Curry County Booking Records
If a person is not listed, or if a copy of a booking record is needed, use the Sheriff's Office documents and forms page and the linked record request form. That route fits older bookings, incident reports, case reports, records that need redaction, and booking photo requests where Oregon law allows release. Oregon public-records law allows fees tied to actual costs and response timing that depends on workload, exemptions, and clarification needs.
Note: The public roster is a search tool, not a complete court file or a guarantee of conviction.
Curry County Inmate Intake Sources
The monthly reports make the Curry County inmate population more local than a generic jail count. They show which agencies brought people into the jail. January 2025 listed 18 Sheriff's Office intakes, 22 Brookings Police Department intakes, 4 Port Orford Police Department intakes, 5 Gold Beach Police Department intakes, and 1 Oregon State Police intake. March 2025 listed 26 Sheriff's Office intakes, 14 Brookings Police Department intakes, 3 Port Orford Police Department intakes, 4 Gold Beach Police Department intakes, and 4 Oregon State Police intakes.
Those figures show why Curry County Jail is a countywide jail even though the building is in Gold Beach. A person arrested in Brookings, Port Orford, or elsewhere in the county may still be booked into the same Curry County Jail roster. The reports also list U.S. Forest Service in some 2024 agency-intake examples, which fits Curry County's rural and federal land context. That is an intake detail, not proof of a federal detention facility or contract.
| Month | Sheriff | Brookings PD | Gold Beach PD | Port Orford PD | OSP |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Jan. 2025 | 18 | 22 | 5 | 4 | 1 |
| Feb. 2025 | 17 | 14 | 16 | 4 | 2 |
| Mar. 2025 | 26 | 14 | 4 | 3 | 4 |
Curry County Jail Services
People searching the Curry County inmate population often need more than a name match. The sheriff's jail page links the local service channels for bail information, inmate mail, phones and tablets, money, visitation, VISOR/VINE, PREA, suicide-prevention resources, fingerprinting, SB 48 information, and jail forms. The inmate mail page and Adult in Custody Manual are the safer sources for mail rules because allowed items can change.
Money and communication are also channel-specific. The jail page links GettingOut for trust account deposits and CorrectPay for gift baskets, but the research did not capture a local commissary fee table or vendor price list from official text. Confirm custody on the roster or by calling 541-247-3344 before sending funds. The jail page also says corrections deputies will not pass routine messages to adults in custody except a phone number or a verifiable emergency.
| Need | Official Channel | Curry County Note |
|---|---|---|
| Social visit | Sheriff visitation page | Exact schedule was not captured; call before travel. |
| Sheriff inmate mail/contact page | Use the AIC name and Moore Street suite mailing address. | |
| Custody alerts | VISOR/VINE | Oregon's notification system is separate from the roster. |
| Money | GettingOut / CorrectPay links | Vendor fees and eligibility should be checked before payment. |
Curry County Mugshots and Court Records
The Curry County inmate population search can lead to two different record questions: booking photos and court charges. The roster has an Image column and an image carousel endpoint, but inspected rows used silhouette placeholders instead of public booking photos. Oregon's ORS 133.870 restricts law-enforcement release of booking photos except for listed categories, including certain releases to the person depicted, victims, criminal-case parties, public bodies, law enforcement, and conviction-related release.
Charges after arrest belong in the court record, not just the jail roster. The roster detail can show offense text, arresting agency, docket, and bail amount, but the Curry County District Attorney decides which charges to file, amend, reduce, dismiss, or decline. Use the Curry County Circuit Court records channel or OJCIN for formal case activity. For a focused explanation, the court records after jail arrest page separates the booking record from the filed court case.
Curry County Detention Facility
The facility map for this project has one local detention facility. Brookings, Gold Beach, Port Orford, Oregon State Police, and sometimes U.S. Forest Service appear in intake reports as arresting or intake agencies, but the official research did not locate separate city jail pages or a regional jail in Curry County.
- Curry County Jail - county-operated adult jail in Gold Beach for local pretrial detainees, sentenced local jail inmates, transports, inmate workers, and other local jail statuses.
