Cassia County Jail Roster Overview
The official Cassia County jail roster is a public table for people held at the Mini-Cassia Criminal Justice Center in Burley. The facility is operated through the Cassia County Sheriff's Office and Mini-Cassia Justice Center, and the county jail page identifies Kevin Horak as Jail Commander. The county law-enforcement page identifies Sheriff Jarrod Thompson and lists the jail phone as (208) 878-1000 and sheriff records as (208) 878-1107. The roster itself is at https://www.cassia.gov/jail-roster/.
The roster is not a profile-click system. It is a DataTables-style table with a single filter box and rows that carry the public fields directly. Cassia County warns that online jail data should not be relied on for legal action, that the database changes frequently, that recent status changes may not appear, and that current status can be confirmed only in person or by phone at (208) 878-1000. The county also states that juvenile offenders are not included.
Mini-Cassia is not only a Cassia-only pretrial jail. Roster values reviewed in the research show CASSIA, MINIDOKA, STATE, ICE, COURTESY HOLD, and US MARSHALL in the inmate type field. That matters because a person may be physically housed in Burley for Minidoka County, a state hold, a federal court or U.S. Marshals matter, or an immigration-related hold. Use the county roster for physical custody at Mini-Cassia, then use IDOC, BOP, ICE, or VINELink when the record points outside local jail custody.
How to Use the Cassia County Inmate Roster
Start with the official roster if the question is whether someone is currently held at Mini-Cassia or recently appeared in the public jail table. The roster is free and does not require a login. It does not ask for separate first-name, last-name, date-of-birth, or booking-number fields. Instead, one global filter searches across the visible table text.
- Open the Cassia County jail roster.
- Use the Filter records: box above the table. Begin with a last name, then narrow with a first name, BID, MNI, case-number fragment, or agency term if the result set is broad.
- Read the table row itself. The row is the public record display, so do not expect a separate inmate profile page.
- Review the photo field, name, BID/MNI, sex/race/age, booked date and time, days in jail, inmate type, and warrant/agency/bond cell.
- Click the photo only if the photo field contains an active image link. Some rows show a real booking image, while others show a placeholder or no usable image.
- Call the jail at (208) 878-1000 before relying on the record for release, transport, bond, visitation, or legal action.
- If the person is not listed, check recent bookings, outstanding warrants, IDOC, BOP, ICE ODLS, and VINELink as the facts require.

The screenshot matches the research finding that the roster is a compact table rather than a separate profile system.
Cassia County Roster Search Fields
The roster search tools are simple but useful because the filter reads across many table cells at once. A name search may locate a row, but an agency term such as Minidoka, Border Patrol, or U.S. Marshals can also narrow a mixed-custody table. The county does not publish wildcard rules, export tools, or an exact refresh interval.
| Field Label | Type | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Filter records: | Text/global DataTables filter | No | Filters visible table text, including name, BID/MNI, booked date, inmate type, agency, and bond text. |
| Show records per page | Dropdown/DataTables page length | No | The source uses DataTables page length controls with a default page length of 25. |
| Column sorting | Clickable column headers | No | Users can sort visible columns in the browser. The embedded table does not force a custom default order. |
| Pagination | DataTables page controls | No | Use pagination when the result set remains longer than one page. No export option was observed. |
What a Cassia County Inmate Profile Shows
Because Cassia County publishes rows instead of separate profile pages, the sample field inventory is the table inventory. The recent-bookings page adds more charge detail than the current roster usually shows, but the current roster is the better first stop for physical custody at Mini-Cassia.
| Field | What It Shows |
|---|---|
| Photo | Booking image, generic placeholder, or no usable image link. Some working links point to JPG or JPEG files on county-hosted storage. |
| Name | Bold name display, often with multi-line formatting for longer names. |
| BID | Mini-Cassia booking identifier, such as a BID=MCJ:YY-number format. |
| MNI | Master name index number tied to the person record. |
| Sex / Race / Age | Basic demographic fields visible in the public row. Juvenile offenders are excluded by the county disclaimer. |
| Booked Date/Time | Booking date and time in month/day/year and time format. |
| Days in Jail | Running count of days held, which can be long for state, federal, or other agency holds. |
| Inmate Type | Observed values include CASSIA, MINIDOKA, STATE, ICE, COURTESY HOLD, and US MARSHALL. |
| Warrant/Agency Bond | Case number, agency or county reference, and bond amount or no-bond language. Multiple holds can appear in one cell. |
| Charges | The current roster usually emphasizes agency and bond data. The recent-bookings table shows charge code, statute, description, and felony or misdemeanor markers. |
Finding County, State, and Federal Inmates
The most common mistake is using one database for every custody type. The Cassia roster is strongest for people physically held at Mini-Cassia. The Idaho Department of Correction Resident/Client Search is for people in IDOC custody or supervision, including prison, probation, or parole records. The Federal BOP Inmate Locator is for federal inmates from 1982 to the present. The ICE Online Detainee Locator System is for people currently in ICE custody or in CBP custody for more than 48 hours, with DRIL phone help at 1-888-351-4024 during posted federal hours.
| Custody | Where to Look | Use It When |
|---|---|---|
| County jail / local hold | Cassia County jail roster | The person may be held at Mini-Cassia for Cassia, Minidoka, state, ICE, courtesy, or U.S. Marshals-related custody. |
| Recent intake | Cassia County jail bookings | The person was recently booked but may not remain in current custody. |
| Warrant | Cassia County warrants | The question is whether an outstanding warrant may explain a booking or arrest risk. |
| State prison, probation, or parole | IDOC Resident/Client Search | The person has been sentenced, transferred, or placed under IDOC supervision. |
| Federal sentenced custody | BOP Inmate Locator | The person is in federal Bureau of Prisons custody, not merely held locally for transport or court. |
| Immigration detention | ICE ODLS and DRIL | The roster mentions ICE or Border Patrol, or the person may be in civil immigration custody. |
| Notifications | VINELink | A victim or public user wants custody-status notifications rather than a one-time roster check. |
Custody-system distinction: A county roster row means the person appears in the Mini-Cassia public jail table. It does not prove the final court charge, a prison sentence, BOP custody, or ICE custody status. Use the roster first for local physical custody, IDOC after state transfer, BOP for federal prison custody, ICE ODLS for immigration custody, and VINELink for alerts.
Cassia County Jail Facilities
The facility map for this build identifies one adult detention facility serving Cassia County: Mini-Cassia Criminal Justice Center. Official IDOC and BOP location lists did not identify a separate state prison or BOP prison inside Cassia County. ICE inspection materials identify Mini-Cassia in Burley as an ICE-inspected detention site, so the ICE role should be treated as part of the same physical custody campus rather than a separate local jail page.

Booking Process in Cassia County
Cassia County does not publish a complete intake checklist, but the roster fields and Idaho law explain the practical sequence. A person may arrive through a Cassia arrest, Minidoka matter, city arrest, state hold, federal hold, U.S. Marshals transport, Border Patrol issue, ICE matter, or courtesy hold. Intake at Mini-Cassia generally creates the record identifiers that later appear publicly, including BID, MNI, booked date and time, demographic fields, inmate type, and warrant/agency/bond text.
The Mini-Cassia facility page says the jail is mandated to take charge of and keep adults charged with or convicted of public offenses and take them before the nearest magistrate. Research notes Idaho booking and first-appearance rules, but Cassia's public pages do not publish exact booking duration, property-processing instructions, or a roster refresh time. For a current booking, confirmation by phone at (208) 878-1000 is the practical next step.
Full Access Channel Chain
Use a chain rather than one search when the facts are incomplete. The county roster answers whether a person appears in current Mini-Cassia custody. The recent-bookings report helps when the person was newly arrested and may have bonded or transferred. The warrant list can explain an arrest or a hold. The jail phone and in-person confirmation channel is the county's stated method for current status. The sheriff records phone and public-records form handle records that are not online.
- Search the current roster for present Mini-Cassia custody.
- Search recent bookings if the person was just arrested or may have been released quickly.
- Check outstanding warrants if a warrant or agency hold may explain the record.
- Call Mini-Cassia at (208) 878-1000 or confirm in person when custody status matters.
- Call sheriff records at (208) 878-1107 and use the Cassia County public-records request form for booking records, mugshots, reports, or records no longer visible online.
- Use IDOC for sentenced state custody, probation, or parole.
- Use BOP for federal sentenced custody and ICE ODLS or DRIL for immigration custody.
- Use VINELink for custody notifications. Cassia County's sheriff page links to Idaho Victim Information and Notification Everyday.
Cassia County has a Sheriff App page, but the accessible research did not confirm app-store URLs or an app-only roster, warrant, most-wanted, records-request, or alert feature. Do not treat an app as a confirmed substitute for the county roster or jail phone unless the county later publishes that detail.
Visitation Hours and Rules
The official family page routes visit scheduling through InmateSales.com and says an account is required. The research did not locate a day-by-day public visitation schedule, so the reliable table is rule-based rather than hour-based. Call (208) 878-1000 before travel if timing, attorney access, accessibility, or visitor eligibility matters.
| Topic | Official Detail | Practical Note |
|---|---|---|
| Scheduling | InmateSales.com | Create an account before scheduling a visit. |
| Visitor limit | No more than two adults may visit one inmate at one time. | Do not bring extra adults expecting lobby exceptions. |
| Authorization | Unapproved or unauthorized visitors are denied. | Confirm approval before travel. |
| Probation or parole visitors | Written authorization from the supervising authority is required. | This is a separate approval issue from ordinary visitor scheduling. |
| No-contact orders | A visitor must not be listed on a CPOR for the inmate. | A no-contact order can block visitation even if the person is otherwise eligible. |
| Lobby restrictions | No cell phones, cameras, food, drink, or electronic devices in the lobby. | The research lists music players, MP3 players, video games, electric cars, and toys as examples of prohibited devices or items. |
| Conduct | Quiet, orderly, dignified behavior is required. | Rule violations can cause removal and denial of future visits. |
How to Contact a Cassia County Inmate
For family and friend services, Cassia County points visitors to InmateSales for visit scheduling and to JailATM.com for commissary deposits. The accessible county excerpt did not expose full mail address formatting, banned mail-item lists, scan policies, deposit limits, fees, kiosk options, phone-account details, or attorney-visit scheduling rules. Use the facility address only after confirming the inmate name, BID or MNI format, and current custody by calling the jail.
For public records, use the Cassia County Request for Public Records form. The form cites Idaho Code 74-102, asks whether the requester wants to examine records or receive copies, and requires a clear description, contact information, signature, and acknowledgment that the requested records will not be used for a mailing or telephone list. The form also includes custodian response fields for approval, costs, extensions, denial/exemption language, and a possible extension of no longer than 10 days from request.
Commissary and Inmate Funds
Cassia County's family page lists JailATM as the commissary deposit vendor. The official source reviewed did not publish deposit fees, kiosk or phone options, order schedules, or commissary limits. Because the roster can lag and a person may be released, transferred, or held for another agency, confirm current custody at (208) 878-1000 before sending funds.
Note: Confirm custody, agency holds, and release eligibility with Mini-Cassia before sending money, scheduling a visit, or relying on online roster status.
