Nez Perce Detention Release Paths
Nez Perce County Adult Detention Center is a county jail at 1150 Wall Street in Lewiston. Its role in a Lewis County inquiry depends on an actual custody connection. The facility is close and is a useful check, but it must not be presented as the automatic destination for every Lewis County arrest. Call Lewis County Sheriff first and ask which jail accepted the booking. If officials name Nez Perce County, the detention center controls the live custody and release entry it created.
A community release may follow bond, a court order, dismissal, time served, or completion of a county term. A transfer is different. It can move a person to another county, IDOC, federal custody, or immigration custody without any period in the community. The event record should identify the date and time, release type, authority, destination, and receiving agency. The Lewis County court case can then explain the legal order behind the event.
Confirm Nez Perce Detention Release
The official Nez Perce County In Custody page is a current-custody source. It says reports update Monday through Thursday, weekend and holiday items appear in Monday reports, and database changes can lag. Its arrested and booked report covers a daily 24-hour period, but that is not a recent-release feed. The agency states that custody can be confirmed only by phone or in person.
- Confirm with Lewis County Sheriff that Nez Perce County held the booking.
- Search the current custody report with the person's correct identifiers.
- Call the detention line if the result is missing or a status change is recent.
- Ask whether the person left for the community or transferred to a named agency.
- Match the answer to the Lewis County iCourt case and request the underlying record when needed.
A name disappearing from the current report proves only that the live display no longer returns it. Record the check time and criteria. The release or movement entry is the source for the event, and the court order gives legal context.
Nez Perce Detention Records Contact
The detention center's 24-hour custody line is the fastest route for current confirmation. Records requests follow a separate process. The official Records Division page provides a request form, submission choices, and delivery options. It also says requests go through prosecutor review and approval and usually take about three business days. Use that channel only for records Nez Perce County created or holds.

Available 24 hours for custody confirmation
The Nez Perce County Records Division should receive a focused request naming the booking number, person, date range, release or transfer timestamp, release authority, destination, and case number. Do not ask Nez Perce County to certify a record kept only by Lewis County or IDOC.
Nez Perce Detention Source
The official Adult Detention Center page identifies the facility and its county operator. The captured page below is matched to this facility and provides a visual reference for the official source.

The source confirms the nearby jail's identity. It does not show that a particular Lewis County detainee was booked there, so the Lewis County routing call remains essential.
Nez Perce Release Record Fields
Ask for fields that distinguish release from movement. A vague request for “all jail records” can delay the search and may not capture the destination. A concise field list also makes it easier to compare the jail record with the court docket.
| Field | Use |
|---|---|
| Booking number | Links the person to one custody episode |
| Booking and release times | Defines the period held by Nez Perce County |
| Release type | Separates bond, order, time served, or transfer |
| Authority and case | Connects the event to the court action |
| Destination | Shows community departure or the next custodian |
A booking photo is a separate component and may need an express request. If the record contains an error, preserve the original result and send the booking number, disputed field, and correction evidence to the Records Division. Another agency cannot correct Nez Perce County's database.
Nez Perce Custody Versus Release
Current custody and historical release require different evidence. The live report can support that a person is listed at the detention center at the time of the update. It is not an archive of everyone who left. Conversely, a release record says when Nez Perce County's custody ended, but it does not always mean the person was free of all custody.
| Result | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Listed in custody | Current report associates the person with the center, subject to lag |
| Not listed | No conclusion without a phone or records check |
| Community release | The jail records a departure without a receiving custodian |
| Transfer | Another agency took custody |
Idaho VINE may provide a prompt notice if the participating custodian reports an event. Verify the alert with the jail. The agency entry supplies the event type, and the court record may explain why it happened.
Old Lewis County Jail Distinction
The Old Lewis County Jail is a historic building at 31 South Main in Nezperce. It can appear beside modern detention results, but it is not the Nez Perce County Adult Detention Center and is not an operating release source. The modern detention center is on Wall Street in Lewiston.
This local naming issue matters when web results mix landmarks, current offices, and similarly named counties in other states. Confirm Idaho, the operator, and the street address before calling or requesting records. A historic property page cannot answer a custody question.
Lewis County Jurisdiction Check
Lewis County is within Nez Perce Reservation geography. County, tribal, state, and federal systems may each have a role in a case, but their databases cannot be treated as one roster. Identify the arresting agency and court before deciding that the Nez Perce County jail is the correct source.
If Nez Perce County confirms a transfer, follow the named destination. Use IDOC for a state commitment, the BOP locator for a sentenced federal person, the federal court and Marshals route for pretrial custody, or ICE channels for an immigration handoff. Keep each conclusion tied to the agency's own record.
Note: Jurisdiction follows the arrest, court, and custodian, not the county name used in a broad search.
