Finding Someone in Custody in Curry County
A person kept in custody after an arrest in Curry County is held at the county jail, run by the Curry County Sheriff's Office, whichever agency made the arrest.
SearchSystems opened and checked the jail page of the Curry County Sheriff's Office at currycountyor.gov/government/county_sheriff (page title: Welcome To Curry County, OR), phone (541) 247-3242, which answered when SearchSystems opened it on September 28, 2026.
That page is the office's jail information page rather than a roster, so a search for a particular person goes through the office at (541) 247-3242.

The largest arrest counts reported to the FBI were Port Orford's 1,171 for 2025, Brookings's 214 for 2025 and the Curry County Sheriff's Office's 159 for 2021.

From the Jail to State Prison
A sentence of more than a year is served in state prison, not the jail; the Oregon Department of Corrections lists its inmates at oregon.gov/doc/victim-services/pages/offender-search.aspx.
