About Multnomah County Inmate Records

Finding a person in custody in Multnomah County can involve more than one public system. This private reference site organizes county jail roster help, Oregon Department of Corrections locator information, court-record pathways, and federal or immigration lookup options in one place.

What This Site Organizes

Oregon public records law, including ORS 192, makes many jail and court records available, but the right source depends on custody status. The Multnomah County Sheriff's Office runs the local jail system for pretrial adults in custody and local jail sentences. The Oregon Department of Corrections handles sentenced state prisoners, including people at Columbia River Correctional Institution, while federal and immigration detainees appear in separate federal systems. This site explains how those public systems differ.
