Ada County Jail, ID Inmate Roster

The Ada County Jail and Ada County Sheriff’s Office is based in Boise, Idaho. It is the largest local law enforcement agency in the state of Idaho. Currently, there are over 730 employees (including 366 commissioned deputies). The Ada County Sherriff’s Office serves the Boise community by promising to give every citizen the best possible law enforcement and community services. This is done by focusing on community participation and understanding the causes of crime in the community. The Ada County Sheriff’s Office is not only responsible for traditional law enforcement – county sheriffs are responsible for almost every law enforcement service according to Idaho’s Constitution and state laws. The deputies patrol the unincorporated Ada County as well as three Idaho cities known as Eagle, Kuna, and Star. The Ada County Sheriff’s Office employees also manage the Ada County Jail, which has 1,224 beds for prisoners. The employees also run the county’s 911 emergency dispatch center, issue driver’s licenses, issue concealed weapons permits, patrol the county waterways, and serve various civil processes from the courts.

The Ada County Sheriff’s Office is currently run by Sheriff Stephen Bartlett, who joined the office in 2003 and was appointed as Ada County Sheriff in 2015. He is in charge of over 750 employees and the $80 million budget provided for this law enforcement agency. For the past two decades in law enforcement, Sheriff Bartlett has worked in every role imaginable. He has served as a jail deputy, detective, K9 handler, Chief of Eagle Police, administrative captain, 911 dispatcher, patrol deputy, polygrapher, crisis negotiator, patrol sergeant, jail sergeant, and lieutenant. Sheriff Bartlett is the Ada County’s 38^th sheriff, and he has diligently served the community and collaborated with other law enforcement agencies and community partners to improve the county.

The Ada County Sheriff’s Office does way more than just serving the public through conventional law enforcement. They provide neighborhood watch, ride-along opportunities, and a plethora of other services and events that benefit the Ada County community. The Ada County Sheriff’s Office organizes ride-along opportunities for those who are interested in accompanying an Ada County Patrol Deputy on their shifts – interested residents must fill out a ride-along form on the Ada County Sheriff’s Office website. However, due to COVID-19, this community program has been temporarily suspended until further notice.

The Sheriff’s Youth Foundation is one of the Ada County Sheriff’s Office community programs. It provides funding to many local non-profit groups that serve to help at-risk youth. Some of the members of the command staff work with local charitable groups under the Sheriff’s Youth Foundation. Some of these groups include Big Sisters, Big Brothers, and the United Way. The Sheriff’s Youth Foundation was founded by former Sheriff Vaughn Killeen in 1999 and has been passionately serving the youth of the community ever since. This foundation also released a “Youth” license plate for the state of Idaho, and all the proceeds from the license plate’s sales go directly to the County Sheriff to fund this foundation.

The Ada County Jail was originally built in 1977 and initially held up to 160 inmates and 32 work-release prisoners. Today, the Ada County Jail’s total inmate capacity is over 1,200 as the jail has been expanded several times in the past decades. The jail was established when the Ada County-Boise City Public Safety Building was first opened.

There are several different types of inmate management used by the Ada County Jail. Since there are hundreds of prisoners, there is a variety of inmate housing. Close Custody Unit is one type of inmate housing and can house up to 130 inmates. The Close Custody Unit is a conventional cell structure, and this is used for extremely violent offenders or inmates that cannot be housed with the general population. Another form of inmate housing is Direct Supervision, where inmates are set up in “pods” and dorms. The male dorms can hold up to 92 inmates, and the female dorms can hold up to 56 inmates. Dorms have no single cells, but inmates have their own beds and share a common area. One deputy is normally enough to supervise an entire male or female dorm.

The Ada County Jail has a meticulous inmate classification system that utilizes risk assessment. Each inmate is classified and assessed in order to ensure the security of other inmates and of the jail staff. There is a team of officers that research an inmate’s past, criminal history, past and present behavior in custody, and any mental or physical disabilities. These factors determine the inmate’s security risk level on a scale ranging from minimum to maximum security risk. Minimum security inmates have the highest level of benefits and privileges because they have a low-risk classification. Maximum security inmates have almost no access to the jail’s programs and privileges. Medium security inmates are guaranteed certain privileges on a case-by-case basis. These privileges can include dormitory housing and access to the jail’s programs for the inmates.

The Ada County Sheriff’s Office provides several programs for inmates. They offer in-custody rehabilitation and comprehensive classes to help inmates effectively transition back into the community if they are released. Many inmates also have access to substance abuse treatment, cognitive-based programming, and follow-up aftercare after they have been released from the Ada County Jail. The jail’s classes do not serve as inpatient treatment, but inmates can pursue residential or inpatient treatment after they have been released from jail. Many substance abusers benefit from the Ada County Jail programs because they do not realize they have a substance abuse problem until they are arrested. These classes give inmates a second chance to make changes in their lives and prevent future substance abuse, criminal behavior, and potential reincarceration. The Ada County Jail proclaims that these classes have had a positive effect on the inmates and on the Ada County communities. The classes have successfully reduced recidivism rates, and this has directly affected the healthcare and law enforcement costs. All the program information and benefits can be researched on their official website.

The Ada County Jail also has an on-site medical facility available for inmates. It is fully staffed by officially licensed healthcare professionals, and it is open 24/7 as a unit of the jail. There are also full-time mental health providers ready to assist the mental health needs of the Ada County Jail inmates. The Ada County Jail also provides emergency dental care, and there is housing specifically crafted for inmates that require higher levels of medical or mental health care.

Inmates can be released from the Ada County Jail in two main ways. They must either pay the bonds associated with each of their criminal charges, or they must have a jail release order issued by a 4^th Judicial District Judge. Inmates that have bonds attached to an arrest warrant or set based on their criminal charges in court can be bailed out of the Ada County Jail for the respective bond amount and a $25 administrative fee. This fee applies to each bond, so inmates with more than one bond will have the administrative fee apply to each bond when being bailed. However, a judge can combine multiple charges under one single case number. Bonds are required to be paid in either cash, a cashier’s check, a money order, or by a bail bond service.
