Yamhill County Inmate Population
The Yamhill County inmate population has two local meanings. For county jail custody, it means adults in custody at the Yamhill County Adults In Custody roster and the direct Current Roster application. That system is operated for the Yamhill County Correctional Facility in McMinnville, which receives arrests from sheriff's deputies, McMinnville Police, Newberg-Dundee Police, municipal courts, and other local agencies. The roster also shows other-county holds and billable U.S. Marshals holds, so a person listed in the county jail is not always there for a Yamhill County Circuit Court charge alone.
The second local meaning is broader. Yamhill County also contains Federal Correctional Institution Sheridan, a federal Bureau of Prisons complex. FCI Sheridan is not searched through the county roster. Oregon state prisoners from Yamhill County are searched through Oregon Offender Search or Oregon VISOR, because no Oregon Department of Corrections prison is physically listed in the county. That split matters for every lookup: county jail, state prison, federal prison, and immigration custody use different systems.
Yamhill County Inmate Population Statistics
The official roster demographic source inspected on June 25, 2026 showed 119 current adults in custody and roster text last updated at 3:30 PM that day. Yamhill County's jail capacity is listed in a YCSO FlashAlert item as 259 beds, while an older Prison Policy Initiative correctional-population table lists 163 people for the Yamhill County Correctional Facility in a 2013-source snapshot. Those figures measure different things, so they should not be treated as one trend line without that context.
| Measure | Figure | Source and date |
|---|---|---|
| Current Yamhill County AIC population | 119 | Official roster demographic source, June 25, 2026 |
| Gender split | 103 male, 16 female | Official roster demographic chart, June 25, 2026 |
| YCCF bed count | 259 beds | YCSO FlashAlert facility announcement |
| Older local correctional count | 163 local | Prison Policy Initiative Census 2020 vintage table using a 2013 source date |
| FCI Sheridan population | 1,518 total, including 1,248 FCI/FDC and 270 Camp | BOP facility page inspected June 25, 2026 |
Yamhill County Inmate Demographics
The county roster demographic charts make the Yamhill County inmate population more transparent than many Oregon jail rosters. On June 25, 2026, the age count was concentrated in the 26 to 45 range: 46 adults ages 26 to 35 and 31 adults ages 36 to 45. The chart also showed 20 adults ages 18 to 25, 14 adults ages 46 to 55, 6 adults ages 56 to 65, and 2 adults age 66 or older. These are live chart values from the roster source, not a permanent jail census.
The residence chart also had local value. McMinnville was the largest named city with 35 adults in custody, followed by Newberg with 9, Amity with 5, Sheridan with 5, Willamina with 4, and Carlton with 2. The same chart included broader or ambiguous categories such as OR, WA, TX, Unknown, and blank entries. That means the chart helps describe the custody list, but it should not be used as a complete residence study.
The official Yamhill County AIC demographic chart page shows the roster data behind the current custody count.
The chart page is useful because it separates the jail population by gender, age, residence, days incarcerated, and recidivism categories instead of giving only a name list.
Yamhill County Inmate Population Trends
No accessible official county source in the research set published a full annual booking series, annual release series, or three-to-five-year average daily population table. The strongest local trend statement found was from a community corrections plan snippet, which said Yamhill County reduced its pretrial jail population by approximately 20 percent since 2011 while maintaining a pretrial court appearance rate of approximately 5 percent. That is a policy trend, not a complete jail dashboard.
| Date or period | Count or metric | Use with care |
|---|---|---|
| December 31, 2013 | 163 local | Older correctional-population listing for YCCF |
| 2011 to 2023-2025 plan period | Pretrial jail population reduced about 20 percent | Community corrections policy statement, not an annual count table |
| June 25, 2026 | 119 current AICs | Point-in-time official roster demographic count |
Using the 259-bed facility figure and the 119-person roster count, the jail was at about 46 percent of that bed figure at the June 25, 2026 inspection point. That calculation is a point-in-time comparison made from two cited sources. It is not a county-published occupancy rate.
Laws for Yamhill County Jail Data
Oregon law sets the framework for public access and jail operation. Yamhill County's records page quotes ORS 192.311 when defining a public record and notes that the county does not have to create a record that does not exist. Public records fees are tied to ORS 192.324, and the sheriff's fee schedule uses that law when explaining research, redaction, and copy costs.
Key Oregon rules:
ORS 133.870 limits release of booking photos except for defined purposes, including release to the person depicted, law-enforcement purposes, court needs, victims, parties in the case, and conviction-related release.
ORS 169.030 and ORS 169.076 require local correctional facilities and set standards for staffing, supervision, and written policies.
ORS 146.090 requires medical examiner involvement for deaths that occur while a person is incarcerated or in police custody.
Search Yamhill County Inmate Records
The county jail search starts at the public Adults In Custody page or the direct Current Roster application. The roster displays an agreement screen before showing the custody list. That agreement warns about HB 3273 booking-photo limits, says people shown are innocent until proven guilty, and tells users not to transfer, misuse, or sell the information. After the user clicks Agree, the roster opens as a browsable table rather than a name-search form.
- Open the county Adults In Custody page or the direct Current Roster.
- Read the booking-photo and misuse notice, then select Agree.
- Browse the current list by name and review the book date, charge, bail, and scheduled release columns.
- Use the name link to open the booking-detail page when more detail is needed.
- If the person is no longer in county jail, check Oregon Offender Search, VISOR, BOP, ICE, or a records request.
The roster list shown after Agree is the main live lookup point for current county custody.
The list matters because the charge column may show a criminal charge, a municipal hold, an other-jurisdiction hold, or a federal U.S. Marshals hold.
Yamhill County Roster Search Fields
The Yamhill County roster did not expose a text search field in the inspected source. That is important for users who expect a typical last-name search box. The local method is to pass the agreement screen, browse the current list, and click a name when the person appears. The detail page then carries the stronger booking fields.
| Field label | Type | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Agree | Submit button | Yes | Agreement gate before roster records display |
| Search field | Not present | Not applicable | No visible name, date, booking-number, or dropdown search field was captured |
| Roster columns | Display table | Not applicable | Name, Book Date, Charge, Bail, Scheduled Release |
| Name link | Hyperlink | Optional | Opens a booking detail page for the selected person |
| Demographic charts | Link or icon | Optional | Opens current AIC charts |
Yamhill County Inmate Record Fields
A Yamhill County booking detail can show more than the public list. The inspected sample included the person's name, main offense, age, gender, height, weight, hair, eyes, bail field, arrest date, book date, file number, booking number, arresting officer, and a charge table. Race, date of birth, full address, housing unit, cell, warrant number, and case-number links were not visible in that public sample.
| Field | What it shows |
|---|---|
| Booking number | Local jail booking identifier, shown as a nine-digit number in inspected samples |
| Book date and arrest date | Separate dates that can differ because arrest and jail intake are distinct events |
| Charge table | Arrest date, booking number, charge, type, disposition, sentence, release, and reason |
| Bail | May be blank or show terms such as NO BAIL, and should be confirmed with the jail before payment |
| Mugshot | No public booking photo appeared in the inspected roster detail because Oregon law restricts release |
Yamhill County Jail vs Prison
Pretrial custody and short local sentences are normally handled through Yamhill County Correctional Facility. A felony prison sentence moves the person into ODOC reception, classification, and then an Oregon prison. Federal custody is different again. FCI Sheridan is physically in Yamhill County, but it is run by BOP and searched through the federal locator. Immigration custody uses ICE's locator, and no ICE detention facility was located in Yamhill County in the official detention-facility directory.
| Custody type | Where to look | Why it differs |
|---|---|---|
| County jail | Yamhill County Current Roster | Current local adults in custody, municipal holds, other-county holds, and some USMS holds |
| State prison | Oregon Offender Search or VISOR | Sentenced Oregon state prisoners move out of the county roster path |
| Federal custody | BOP inmate locator | FCI Sheridan and BOP inmates are federal, not sheriff-run custody |
| Immigration custody | ICE Online Detainee Locator | Requires biographical or A-number search, not a county jail name list |
- AIC
- Adult in Custody, the Oregon term used by the county roster.
- Hold
- A custody reason from another court or agency that can block release.
- VISOR
- Oregon's victim and custody notification search system.
- BOP
- Federal Bureau of Prisons, the agency that runs FCI Sheridan.
Yamhill County Records Fallbacks
When the roster does not answer the question, the next path depends on the record type. Jail custody questions go to the jail at 503-434-7507, and YCCF Records is listed at 503-434-7507 extension 4490. Sheriff's records requests go through the Yamhill County Sheriff's record requests page and the NextRequest portal. Walk-in records help is listed for Tuesdays and Thursdays, while phone help is listed during weekday business hours.
For court charges after booking, use the Oregon Judicial Department's records and calendar search, Oregon eCourt Case Information, or court docketing at 503-434-7530. The District Attorney's Office is part of the case pathway because the DA reviews or files state-level charges, but jail roster data is not the same thing as a filed court charge.
Yamhill County Detention Facilities
Yamhill County has one sheriff-operated county jail and one federal prison complex. The local jail is the main source for recent arrests and current county custody. The federal prison is searched through BOP tools. People sentenced to Oregon state prison are searched through ODOC even though no ODOC prison is listed in Yamhill County.
- Yamhill County Correctional Facility holds local adults in custody, municipal holds, other-county holds, and billable U.S. Marshals holds shown on the live roster.
- Federal Correctional Institution Sheridan holds male federal sentenced inmates, federal detainees, and minimum-security camp inmates under BOP operation.
Yamhill County Inmate Population FAQ
How current is the Yamhill County inmate population count? The roster is live and can change with bookings, releases, transfers, court orders, and holds. The inspected demographic count of 119 was a point-in-time figure from June 25, 2026, not a fixed county average.
Why is there no mugshot on the roster? The roster agreement cites HB 3273, and Oregon law now restricts public release of booking photos except for defined reasons such as conviction, law-enforcement need, court use, or release to the person depicted.
Can the county roster find someone at FCI Sheridan? No. FCI Sheridan is in Yamhill County, but it is a federal BOP facility. Use the federal inmate locator for that facility, not the county jail roster.
What if a person has been sentenced to state prison? Search Oregon Offender Search and VISOR. The county roster may stop being the best source after transfer to ODOC custody.
