Finding Someone in Custody in Uinta County
The county jail, run by the Uinta County Sheriff's Office, holds everyone kept in custody after an arrest in Uinta County, from every agency.
SearchSystems opened and checked the jail page of the Uinta County Sheriff's Office at uintacountywy.gov/96/Detention-Center (page title: Detention Center | Uinta County, WY), phone 307-783-1020, which answered when SearchSystems opened it on September 24, 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 307-783-1020.
