Where to Look for Benewah County Records
For a current local jail check, start with the Benewah County Sheriff's Office and Jail, operated by Sheriff Anthony Eells. The official contact address is 701 W College Ave, Suite 301, St Maries, ID 83861, and the phone number is 208-245-2555. No separate jail information line or jail lobby hours were found in the official sources reviewed, so use that same sheriff/jail number before visiting.
For court records after charges are filed, contact the Benewah County Clerk at 701 W College Ave, Suite 203, St Maries, ID 83861. The clerk's office phone is 208-245-3241, and the county court page lists hours as Monday through Friday, 9:00 am to 5:00 pm. Prosecutor questions route through Prosecutor Mariah R. Dunham at 701 W College Ave, Suite 201, St Maries, ID 83861, phone 208-245-2564, or prosecutor@benewahcounty.org.
Use these pages and official systems based on the type of record you need:
- For a person who may be in Benewah County Jail, start with jail inmate records and then call 208-245-2555 because no official online county roster was located.
- For booking-photo questions, review jail roster mugshots and ask the sheriff's office about an Idaho Public Records Act request under Idaho Code 74-102 and 74-103.
- For filed charges, hearings, and case numbers, use court records after a jail arrest, Idaho iCourt, or the Benewah County Clerk.
- For the local detention facility page, use Benewah County Jail.
- For a sentenced Idaho prisoner or a person under Idaho Department of Correction supervision, use the IDOC Resident/Client Search instead of the county jail phone path.
- For federal custody, use the Bureau of Prisons inmate locator; for immigration custody, use ICE ODLS. VINELink may help with custody or court notifications when the person is listed in a participating system.
