Wasatch County Jail Overview
Wasatch County Jail is operated by the Wasatch County Sheriff's Office Corrections Division. The jail is at the same justice-center campus used by the Sheriff's Office, Wasatch County Justice Court, Fourth District Court, and juvenile court functions. Corrections deputies operate the jail, screen people entering the Justice Center, provide bailiff services, and move incarcerated people to court appearances.
The sheriff's public pages describe the jail as a medium-security facility. The Wasatch County Jail population includes local pretrial detainees, people serving less than one year, arrestees awaiting court processing, and some Utah state-prison-system inmates housed for funding. The research did not locate a separate Wasatch County work-release annex, city jail, state prison, BOP prison, or ICE detention facility inside the county, so the Wasatch County Jail page is the only local facility page for this build.
Wasatch County Jail Capacity
The current sheriff Corrections page reports a 100-bed Wasatch County Jail. The Vera Incarceration Trends dataset listed 88 rated beds and an 82-person total jail population for Wasatch County in 2019. Those are historical dataset figures, not a current daily count. No official live daily population dashboard was located in the reviewed sources.
Park Record reported in April 2026 that the county started a three-phase jail renovation after a needs and growth assessment. Reported work includes control-room safety, mechanical and electrical systems, evidence security, entry separation, medical housing, and a second jail pod. Those details show why a capacity number alone does not explain the full operating picture at Wasatch County Jail.
Lookup at Wasatch County Jail
No official public Wasatch County Jail online roster or searchable inmate profile was located. Current inmate lookup should start with the jail information line, then move to written records requests or outside custody systems if the person has been released, transferred, charged in court, sentenced, or moved into federal or immigration custody.
- Call Wasatch County Jail at 435-657-1619 to ask whether the person is currently held locally.
- Provide the person's full name and any known arrest date, case number, citation number, or arresting agency.
- If the person is no longer in county custody, ask whether staff can confirm release, transfer, or the agency that took custody.
- Use the sheriff GRAMA request form when a booking record, case report, or public copy is needed.
- Search UDC, Xchange, BOP, ICE ODLS, or VINELink when the jail says the person is outside ordinary county jail custody.
For broader county records guidance, the Wasatch County jail inmate records page separates the jail phone path from GRAMA, UDC, BOP, ICE, court, and VINELink lookup channels.

Booking at Wasatch County Jail
Local booking begins when Wasatch County Sheriff, Heber City Police, or another agency arrests a person and the person is held locally. The jail intake process confirms identity and custody authority, handles property, and assigns classification and housing. The sheriff does not publish a detailed step-by-step intake guide, booking-time estimate, or roster-refresh schedule.
After booking, court processing begins through the prosecutor and courts. The Wasatch County Attorney Criminal Division says screening starts when law enforcement refers a case or files a probable cause statement after a warrantless arrest. Screening may result in filed charges, more investigation, pre-filing diversion, or declined prosecution. Booking allegations and filed charges can differ, so court records should be checked after the prosecutor acts.
Wasatch County Jail Records
Use the sheriff GRAMA request form for booking records, case reports, arrest photos, or copies that are not provided through the jail phone line. The form asks for requester name, mailing address, daytime phone, email, incident or case number, date, time, location, people involved, record description, preferred format, signature, and date. It says the Sheriff's Office has up to 10 business days to respond.
| Request method | Detail |

| Mail or hand delivery | Wasatch County Sheriff's Office, 1361 South Highway 40, Heber City, UT 84032 |

Utah booking-photo law may require a requester to certify that a booking photograph will not be used on a pay-to-remove publication or site. The Wasatch County jail mugshots page explains that rule in more detail.
Wasatch County Jail Programs
The sheriff's Corrections page describes work assignments inside the jail and on county-owned property for eligible inmates. Local details include cleaning, completing projects in less restricted jail areas, mowing lawns, and shoveling snow. That snow detail fits Wasatch County's local operating environment and shows that work assignments are tied to county property needs.
Education and reentry programming include volunteer help with math, reading, and computer skills, plus a partnership with Wasatch County School District that may allow inmates to earn a high school diploma. Drug and alcohol support groups and religious services are also listed. KPCW reported in 2026 that two inmates earned diplomas and that the jail library has doubled as a classroom.
Note: Program access, visits, and vendor accounts can change with classification, staffing, court movement, or lockdown status.
