The Skagit County Jail is a medium-security detention center located at 600 S 3rd St Mount Vernon, WA which is operated locally by the Skagit 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. Skagit County accepts inmates from surrounding towns, municipalities, the US Marshal's Service and the Mount Vernon Police Department who do not have their own long-term lock-up.
The Skagit County Sheriff's Office Corrections Division is an around the clock, 24/7 operation. There are 52 Corrections Deputies, 10 Corrections Sergeants, and 1 Lieutenant that are responsible for providing safe and secure housing for inmates being held in the custody of the Skagit County Jail.
The staff of the jail is also responsible for inmate movement outside of the jail facility, such as court appearances, medical appointments, etc. In addition to the Division's in-house responsibilities, Corrections staff are responsible for peripheral duties which include Medical Liaison, Jail Billing, Court Security, and the Jail Alternatives Program. The Jail Alternatives Program offers alternatives to standard methods of incarceration for those who qualify.
Such alternatives include Work Release, Community Service Work and Electronic Home Monitoring. Further, the Corrections Division employs one civilian working as the Division's Court Coordinator, responsible for facilitating the resolution of cases with multiple charges from multiple jurisdictions.

Skagit County Jail publishes the names of their inmates currently in their facility in Washington. 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.
