Find BCCF Release Records

BCCF Release Routes

A person leaving BCCF may go home after bond, a court order, time served, or completion of a county sentence. Yet departure from the building can also mean transport to the Utah Department of Corrections, another county, a federal authority, or another named custodian. The official Beaver County Corrections description says staff transport and release inmates and that the jail holds pretrial detainees, county sentences of one year or less, people awaiting UDC transfer, and contract prisoners.

The legal custodian matters more than the address. Two people may leave the same booking display for wholly different reasons. One may post bail while charges remain open. Another may start or continue a state sentence. A third may leave Beaver custody under a detainer, which is a request or authority to hold or transfer the person for another agency. Only the first event may be a direct community release.

Note: A missing booking card or absent “IN CUSTODY” label is not a certified Beaver County release.

Confirm a BCCF Release

Start with identity, not a name alone. A booking or person number, date of birth, arrest date, charge, and court can prevent a false match. Beaver County publishes a rolling 30-day booking history, not a released-only list. Its “IN CUSTODY” marker can be a clue when present, but the county gives no rule that an unmarked record proves release.

1. Check the official Recent Bookings display for the matching booking and note the court, agency, charge, and person number.
2. Use Utah VINE or call Corrections at 435-438-6497 for a current custody check. Ask whether the event was release to the community or transfer.
3. Review the correct Utah court case for the order or disposition. A docket may explain bond, dismissal, sentence, or transfer but does not supply the jail exit time.
4. If UDC may be involved, search by name or UDC number. “Inmate” means custody continues; “Parolee” means prison release to supervision.
5. Request the BCCF custody-event or movement log when an exact date, time, release type, or receiving agency is needed.

The complete county-wide route, including older court records and GRAMA, is described on the Beaver County released inmate search. For urgent safety decisions, do not rely on one web status. Confirm the event with the agency that made the movement.

Request BCCF Release Records

The authoritative local record is held by Corrections or Sheriff's Records. Ask for existing fields rather than asking the office to decide what happened. A focused request should name the person, provide a date range, and describe the exact custody events sought. Utah's Government Records Access and Management Act, or GRAMA, governs access and permits redaction or withholding of protected parts.

Request the booking record, admission date, custody-event log, actual release or movement date and time, release type, order or authority, and destination or receiving agency. Include the booking number and case number if known. A bond disposition, sentence credit, or supervision status may also exist. A transfer destination is crucial at this contract jail.

Beaver accepts its online GRAMA request form, as well as written requests by mail or in person. The form acknowledges that fees may apply, but no universal release-record price is published. Ask for electronic delivery and a cost estimate. GRAMA generally calls for a response as soon as reasonably possible and no later than ten business days, subject to lawful extensions and the different public-interest expedited track.

BCCF Records and Contact

Corrections handles the physical custody and movement question. Sheriff's Records handles formal access to retained jail records. Call before traveling because the narrower Records schedule differs from the general office hours.

For a current confirmation, state the exact question: “Is this person still in Beaver custody, released to the community, or transferred?” Staff may limit what can be shared by phone. If so, submit the narrow written request rather than treating a refusal to discuss details as proof of either custody or release.

BCCF Contract Release Distinction

BCCF was built in part to hold state inmates, and UDC's 2025 Jail Programs booklet reports 379 total beds, 365 contracted beds, and 355 beds available for UDC prisoners. It also identifies male contract placement and 85 inmate work assignments. These figures describe capacity and program structure, not the current count or an annual release total.

A state prisoner housed at BCCF remains within the state sentence framework. UDC says almost all state prisoners in county jails are taken to USCF for release processing. The public should therefore check UDC legal status, the Board decision, and state VINE rather than infer a community release from Beaver's booking display. A UDC parolee may remain searchable; a fully discharged person may require a UDC GRAMA request.

Ordinary Beaver pretrial and short-sentence releases do not follow UDC's Tuesday release-day process. The county has published no standard day of week, public release calculator, or fixed handoff time for them. Mixing the state schedule with county releases would give families the wrong place and time.

BCCF Final-Release Logistics

The Sheriff's property page documents a property transaction or release form used through mail or during visiting. It does not publish a final-release desk, an exit door, an after-hours procedure, or an unclaimed-property deadline. Those missing details should be checked with Corrections for the specific release.

No official Beaver source found in the research promises a release shuttle, fixed-route stop at the Public Safety Facility, taxi plan, or rideshare pickup point. Arrange a ride with the person and Corrections, then confirm the permitted place and likely time. UDC's Salt Lake transport to a TRAX stop is a separate state-prison practice and should not be assumed at BCCF.

Release

The end of custody by the named agency, which may or may not be to the community.

Transfer

A movement to another custodian while confinement continues.

Parole

Release from prison while the state sentence and AP&P supervision continue.

Discharge

The end of the sentence or supervision, not merely departure from a jail building.

Note: Confirm property pickup and transportation directly because Beaver publishes no complete final-release handoff procedure.

BCCF Court and VINE Checks

VINE and the court docket answer different questions about a Beaver County release. The county's official VINE page confirms anonymous custody checks and telephone, email, or text alerts. A VINE change is a useful public signal that the participating jail reported an event. It does not establish whether the person went home, entered another agency's custody, or later returned.

The booking display's court field helps route the legal check. Felonies and class A misdemeanors generally go to Fifth District Court, while most class B and C misdemeanors and infractions go to justice court. The court disposition may explain bond, dismissal, sentence, or another order. Still, the docket does not record the exact physical exit from BCCF. Pair the legal event with the jail movement.

1. Save the reporting agency and event from the VINE result.
2. Match the booking's court and case number to the correct docket.
3. Compare the order date with the BCCF movement date and time.
4. Ask Records to clarify any receiving-agency field when the two sources leave a gap.

For a state-sentence transfer, add UDC status and the Board record. For a federal handoff, add the named federal custodian and federal docket. This layered check keeps the Beaver release record tied to the agency that actually created each event.
