Stevens County Jail Overview
Stevens County Jail is operated by the Stevens County Sheriff's Office as the county-level detention facility in Colville. The official Sheriff's Jail page describes the jail's purpose as a safe place of incarceration for people arrested by law enforcement or sentenced to commitment by the court. That local role is important. A person in this jail may be awaiting first appearance, waiting for later hearings, serving a local commitment, or held under another practical status shown on the daily roster.
The facility is part of the courthouse campus. The jail page lists the Jail Office at Stevens County Courthouse, 215 S Oak St, Colville, WA 99114, phone 509-684-4707, and fax 509-684-7570. The public roster includes housing or status labels such as NORTH WING, WEST WING, SOUTH WING, FEMALE CELL, INMATE WORK, Ferry County, and Eastern State Hospital. Those labels show that the daily custody list can include local wing assignments and practical cross-agency notations, but it does not publish a full security-classification scale.
Do not treat Stevens County Jail as a prison page. Washington DOC's prison map does not list a state prison in Stevens County, and federal or immigration custody must be checked through other systems. A sentenced felony inmate from Stevens County usually leaves the county roster after transfer to the Washington Department of Corrections.
Stevens County Jail Capacity
Stevens County Jail capacity needs careful wording because official sources report related but different figures. WASPC annual jail-statistics workbooks list 45 facility beds for Stevens County Sheriff's Office in 2024 and 2025. Stevens County justice-center public material states the current jail has capacity for 44 inmates, while space studies say it should only have 30. The official July 2, 2026 daily roster listed 61 inmates. These figures should not be merged into one claim. They describe bed reporting, local planning context, and a daily roster snapshot.
WASPC annual jail statistics reported 63 average daily population, 24.5 average length of stay, 1,010 admissions, electronic monitoring as an alternative program, and no in-custody deaths for the Stevens County row in 2025. Justice-center planning is the local capacity context. A Washington DES-hosted 2025 project application describes a proposed justice center with an approximately 160-bed jail, courts, and court clerks' offices, while the county story map explains the smaller current facility-capacity concern.
Find Stevens County Jail Inmates
The correct lookup source for this facility is the county's daily Stevens County Jail roster. It is a PDF list, not a web search form. The roster is generated about 4 a.m. and posted between 6 a.m. and 9 a.m. People booked after that daily cutoff may not be listed until the next roster is posted, even if they are already in jail.
- Open the Stevens County inmate roster page and select the dated Jail Inmate Roster PDF.
- Use the PDF find tool to search the person's last name, booking number, or a known housing label.
- Read the custody row for booking number, booking date/time, days in custody, assigned housing, bond, and scheduled release if shown.
- Call Stevens County Jail at 509-684-4707 if the arrest is too recent, the bond field is unclear, or a scheduled release is blank.
- Use Washington DOC, BOP, ICE, or VINE only when the person is no longer a county jail inmate or the case is outside local custody.
The jail roster does not show charges or mugshots. Court charge records are found through the court system, while booking photos are subject to Washington inmate-record limits. The broader roster workflow is covered in Jail Inmate Records when the facility row does not answer the question.
Stevens County Jail Contact
Use the jail office for current custody questions tied to the facility. Use the Public Records Office and NextRequest for records that are not on the roster. Use court offices for warrants, formal charges, case copies, and dispositions. Many Stevens County criminal-justice offices share the South Oak Street courthouse campus, so the same street address can refer to different offices with different record duties.

Stevens County Jail Visitation
General visitation at Stevens County Jail is video only. The official video visitation page says in-person visitation can be arranged for attorneys, clergy, medical officials, and mental-health officials. A jail inmate must be housed at Stevens County Jail, must have had arraignment or first appearance after arrest, and must not be in disciplinary segregation to be eligible for video visits, subject to jail approval.

The jail checks visitors for no-contact orders.

Stevens County Jail Mail and Money
The official inmate mail page, phone page, and service-list page publish the local mail, phone, and commissary rules. Mail must use the inmate's name and PO Box 186 in Colville. The jail allows only medications or medically necessary items to be dropped off. Money can be handled through the vestibule kiosk, online systems, or money order, but personal checks are not accepted.
| Service | Provider / Detail |

Stevens County Jail Intake
Stevens County does not publish a full booking manual, but the local record sources show how intake appears to the public. After arrest, jail staff create a booking record, log basic identifiers, assign housing, and place the person into the daily custody list if the booking falls before the roster generation time. The roster's booking date and time are shown to the second, days in custody are calculated as a whole number, and assigned housing is shown with public labels.
First appearance matters for family contact. The visitation page says video visitation eligibility starts after the inmate has been arraigned or had a first appearance after initial arrest, and only if the person is not in disciplinary segregation. That means a newly booked person may be listed in custody but not yet approved for visits. Bond also needs a direct check. The roster shows one numeric bond field, but it does not explain cash bond, surety bond, personal recognizance, no-bond hold, warrant hold, or court conditions.
Stevens County Jail Records Context
Stevens County Jail records sit inside a larger public-records and court-records chain. The daily roster is public and useful, but it is not a court docket, prosecutor filing, warrant database, or mugshot gallery. For older booking records, incident reports, jail records not shown online, or booking-photo questions, Stevens County uses the Public Records Office and NextRequest. Copy fees and exemptions depend on the county fee schedule, public-records law, and inmate-record law.
For custody alerts, WA VINE can send notification updates after a correct person or custody record is identified. For state prison status, use Washington DOC. For federal prisoners, use BOP. For immigration detention, use ICE. For tribal detention near the region, use official tribal corrections sources and do not treat Nespelem tribal detention as a Stevens County Jail facility.
Note: Call Stevens County Jail before traveling for visitation, bond, records questions, or a same-day custody check.
