When someone you care about gets locked up, it's tough to figure out all the ins and outs of jail life. From sending mail to visiting, there are a lot of things to sort out. And getting info about the arrest? Not always easy. That's where this webpage comes in handy. It's here to help you get a handle on how things work at Kootenai County Jail so you can stay connected and support your loved one behind bars.
The Kootenai Co Jail is a detention center located at 5500 N Government Wy Coeur d'Alene, ID which is operated locally by the Kootenai 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. Kootenai County accepts inmates from surrounding towns, Coeur d'Alene Police Department, and the US Marshal's Service.
New detainees arrive at the jail regularly, with some being released on bail, placed under pretrial services caseloads, supervised by probation agencies, or released on recognizance with a court appearance agreement. Those who are not released await their court appearances at the jail, receiving accommodations including bedding and meals. You can see all the arrest records for Idaho here.
The Jail Bureau consists of the Custody Division and Services Division. The Custody Division is responsible for the care and custody of incarcerated prisoners. This includes, but is not limited to, delivery of meals, ensuring appropriate housing assignments, distribution of medication, prisoner transport, delivery of incoming and outgoing mail, and random prisoner and housing area searches.
The Services Division is responsible for food preparation, Inmate Commissary, inmate medical treatment, the Inmate Worker Program, the Work Release Program, the Sheriff’s Community Labor Program, and facility maintenance. Additionally, the Services Division sustains a Chaplain Corps which is responsible for counseling of inmates, and rehabilitation resources for the inmate population.
The Pierce Clegg Work Release Center oversees inmates sentenced to the Work Release Program and the Sheriff’s Community Labor Program. The Work Release Program is an alternative incarceration program which allows an inmate who is sufficiently trusted and monitored to leave confinement to continue working at their current place of employment and return to the Work Release Center after completion of their shift to serve their jail time.
The Jail’s Medical Office is staffed by a Nurse Practitioner, a Registered Nurse, and several Licensed Practical Nurses and Medical Assistants. They are responsible for all inmate medical care. The Jail’s Kitchen is responsible for preparing all inmate meals. This includes breakfast, lunch, dinner and all special medical and religious meals. The Chaplain Corps of the Kootenai County Sheriff's Office is responsible for planning and implementation of programs such as Parenting Skills, Recovery Programs, Vocational Education, Drug Awareness, as well as keeping the book carts full with reading material. They also volunteer their time to address the many religious needs of inmates on a group basis as well as one-on-one counseling.
