The Clatsop County OR Detention Center is a medium-security detention center located at 636 Duane St Astoria, OR which is operated locally by the Clatsop County Sheriff's Office and holds inmates awaiting trial or sentencing or both. Most of the sentenced inmates are here for less than two years. Clatsop County accepts inmates from surrounding towns, municipalities, the US Marshal's Service and the Astoria Police Department who do not have their own long-term lock-up.
The Clatsop County Jail is an adult facility housing up to 60 inmates. During the year, approximately 3,500 individuals are booked and released from the county jail. The jail rents approximately 10 beds from the Tillamook County Sheriff's Office to help with overcrowding.
It is the legal obligation of the Clatsop County Sheriff to provide a safe, sanitary and secure place of detention for all persons committed to his jurisdiction for detention or correction. The Sheriff must protect the community by securely holding persons who are determined by the courts to pose a threat to public safety. Further, the Sheriff must protect the inmates of the jail and the staff who work there.
One of the additional functions of the jail is serving as the depository for all county warrants. The jail's 24/7 operation allows for ready access to the warrant information. The jail runs a successful work crew program, which allows inmates to be used to assist public entities with cost-saving work projects. Some of those projects include the restoration of views at Fort Stevens State Park and preparing campsites for our county visitors.
The jail also performs service to community members requiring fingerprints for employment purposes. This service is provided seven days a week in the morning hours. Jail staff are responsible for answering the National Warning System (NAWAS) radio for all weather events and tsunami warnings. The facility will serve the needs of all user agencies and individuals, including inmates, staff, law enforcement, judicial authorities, attorneys, community service providers, clergy and visitors.

Clatsop County OR Detention Center publishes the names of their inmates currently in their facility in Oregon. Your search should start with this locator first to see if your loved one is there.
The second box is the InmateAid Inmate Search. This database of inmates is user-generated content for the purpose of accessing and utilizing any or all of the InmateAid services. If you need our assistance creating your own inmate profile to keep in touch, email us at aid@inmateaid.com and we will assist you in locating your inmate.
As a last resort, you might have to pay for that information if we do not have it. The Arrest Record Search will cost you a small amount, but their data is the freshest available and for that reason they charge to access it.
