Davis County Jail Roster Overview
The Davis County Sheriff's Office maintains the inmate roster. Sheriff Kelly V. Sparks leads the agency, sworn in during January 2019 after decades of service that began at the Davis County Jail in 1983. The Sheriff's Office runs both patrol and corrections, and the roster reflects people held at the county jail in Farmington. The list updates every 15 minutes, so a booking can appear soon after it happens.
The roster has limits. It shows people in the Davis County jail, not those held elsewhere. A person moved to state prison, a federal facility, or another county will not appear. The roster is informational only, and the Sheriff says it is not suitable for legal documents or news reports.
The Davis County Sheriff's Office homepage links the roster, emergency notices, and contact details.
The Sheriff's bio and command staff are listed on the Meet the Sheriff page.
How to Use the Davis County Inmate Roster
The roster is simple by design. It has one search box and a list of current inmates. You type a name, run the search, and open a person's details. The Davis County inmate roster shows booking date, name, gender, age, and a details link for each person.
- Open the Davis County inmate roster page.
- Type a last name in the "Find by name" box and select Search.
- Scan the results for the booking date, first name, last name, gender, and age.
- Select the inmate's details to open the charges and bonds.
If a name does not appear, the person may not be in the Davis County jail, or the spelling may differ. Use the Reset button to clear the box and try again.
Roster Search Fields
The roster keeps the search short. There is one text box rather than a long form, plus buttons and a paginated list. The fields below come from the live roster page.
| Field Label | Type | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Find by name | Text | No | One box that searches inmate names |
| Search | Button | n/a | Runs the name lookup |
| Reset | Button | n/a | Clears the search box |
| Pagination | Links | n/a | First, previous, page, and next controls |
The result columns are Booking Date, First Name, Last Name, Gender, Age, and Details. The Details link opens a profile for each inmate.
What a Davis County Inmate Profile Shows
Each profile pulls from the booking. A sample Davis County inmate detail, inspected through the roster, lists the fields below. There is no booking photo, since Utah Code § 17-22-30 protects inmate photos. Release dates and times are not posted, for the safety of the person in custody.
| Field | What It Shows |
|---|---|
| Name Number | The numeric ID the jail assigns to the person. |
| Booked | The date and time the person was booked in. |
| Age / Gender | Basic descriptors shown on the profile. |
| Arresting Agency | The agency that made the arrest, such as a city police department. |
| Charges | A table of charge number, description, state statute, counts, and disposition. |
| Bonds | Bond type and amount, with the charges each bond applies to. |
The sample detail can be opened from the roster's Details link.
A bond marked "No Bail" means the listed charges do not allow release on bond. For the charges behind a booking, the arrest records page explains the charge and conviction difference.

Booking Process in Davis County
Booking starts the custody record. The Sheriff's inmate information says a booked person may contact one person of choice, not a victim, to share the situation. Belongings go into secure property, and the person receives clothing and bedding. Food, water, and hygiene items are provided.
Medical needs are handled with care. Eyeglasses, contacts, or prescription medication can be brought to the lobby during business hours, but medical staff must approve any medication, and most is provided in-house. After booking, the charges and bonds appear on the roster profile, and the court sets the next step, such as a first appearance.
Bail and Release from the Davis County Jail
Bail is the money or set of conditions that lets a person leave custody while a case is pending. The roster profile lists the bond type and amount for each charge. A "No Bail" hold means the listed charges do not allow release on bond, and a judge must see the person first. Some bonds are surety bonds posted through a bondsman.
Release timing is deliberately not posted. The Sheriff says release dates and times are not provided online for the safety and security of the person in custody. For people serving a county sentence, release usually starts around the same hour as booking, and the Sheriff FAQ says releases typically begin at 8 a.m. on the final day of the commitment. To confirm whether someone has been released, call Corrections at 801-451-4200. The released inmates page covers state and federal release tools.
Visitation Hours and Rules
All visits are by appointment, scheduled 24 hours ahead through the jail's video vendor. Online visits from home carry a fee. Onsite video visits at the jail are free, twice weekly, and 25 minutes long. Onsite visits run on set days, and the schedule below follows the Sheriff's published windows.

Online visiting is offered every day at set windows: 9 to 11:30 a.m., 12:30 to 5 p.m., and 7 to 9 p.m., with up to two scheduled visits a day. Visitors 18 and older need a valid government ID. Children must come with a parent or legal guardian, and unrelated minors are not allowed. Each inmate is limited to two 25-minute weekly onsite visits, with no more than two adults or one adult and two children per visit. The inmate information page lists the full rules.
Anyone booked, bailed, sentenced, or held at the Davis County Correctional Facility in the past year may not visit other inmates, except for a spouse, child, or parent. Visits can be cut short or denied if a visitor seems intoxicated, dresses in revealing clothing, or refuses to follow staff direction. Food and drinks are not allowed in the visiting area, and authorized attorneys may verify privileged visits by calling 801-451-4299.
How to Contact a Davis County Inmate
Mail is the most common way to reach someone inside. All inmate mail must go by USPS to the inmate's name and booking number, Davis County Correctional Facility, PO Box 130, Farmington, UT 84025. Regular mail must use a plain white USPS pre-stamped postcard, 3.5 by 5.5 inches. Letters, dropped-off mail, and decorated cards are denied.
The rules are strict. No glitter, glue, stickers, tape, staples, or paper clips are allowed. Photographs must be professionally printed 4 by 6 inches, with a limit of ten, and Polaroids are denied. Mail must show a complete return address and use regular ink or pencil. No graphic or sexual content is allowed, and stamps, packages, and greeting cards are denied. Legal mail is opened only in the inmate's presence.
Books must come straight from a bookstore or publisher, in new paperback, no larger than 8.5 by 11 inches and no thicker than two inches, with a limit of five at a time. Periodicals are accepted only through a publisher subscription, with a cap of two subscriptions and one newspaper. When in doubt, a plain white USPS pre-stamped postcard is the safest choice.
Phone Calls and Visitor ID Rules
A booked person may contact one person of choice from the jail to share the situation, though victims are not allowed contacts. Routine calls after that go through the jail's phone system, which posts rates and account funding rules onsite. Inmates are not pulled from class, work, or programs to take a call, so missed calls are common.
For visitors, valid government ID is required for anyone 18 or older. Visits can be delayed by meals, clothing exchange, court movement, or security needs. Pre-hearing segregation or other restrictions can also make an inmate ineligible for visits on a given day. Always confirm the appointment is active before driving to the jail.
Commissary and Inmate Funds
Families can add money to an inmate account two ways. Online deposits run through the jail's canteen vendor with Mastercard or Visa, around the clock, and funds are usually available within 24 hours. Lobby kiosks at the Correctional Facility and the Work Release Center take cash, credit, or debit.
Commissary covers daily needs. Inmates can buy snacks, stamped envelopes, toiletries, paper, playing cards, greeting cards, art materials, and hygiene items, and gift packs can be ordered online. Deposited funds must arrive before the weekly order deadline to count for that week. Plan ahead so a late deposit does not push an order to the following week.
Watch for scams. The Sheriff warns that no real program asks families to pay for early release, in Bitcoin or otherwise. The county's ankle monitor program is court-ordered and never requires direct payment from a family. If a call sounds urgent and asks for fast payment, hang up and call the jail to verify.
