Pacific County Jail Inmate Roster Lookup

Pacific County Jail Overview

Pacific County Jail is the only active adult detention facility identified in the Pacific County facility map. It sits on the South Bend courthouse and public safety campus and holds adults awaiting pretrial proceedings as well as adults serving local misdemeanor or felony-level custody. The jail also supports courtroom security and inmate transportation for Pacific County District Courts and Superior Court. Local custody can involve sheriff arrests, city police arrests, Washington State Patrol matters, DOC supervision violations, warrants, probation violations, holds, and pending court cases.

The operator changed at the start of 2025. Board of County Commissioners proceedings from December 26, 2024 created Pacific County Jail Services as a county Department of Corrections under RCW 70.48.090(4), effective January 1, 2025. The county directory names James "Jim" Byrd as Jail Services Director. Older references may still show jail statistics under the Pacific County Sheriff's Office because the 2024 reporting year predated the reorganization. The official jail page remains the local source for current visitation and mail notes.

Pacific County Jail Capacity and Population

The most specific published jail-statistics source in the research is the WASPC 2024 Washington State Jail Statistics workbook. It lists Pacific County with 59 facility beds, 20.58 average daily population, 32 days average length of stay, 261 total admissions, and 21.75 average monthly admissions. That same row used the older sheriff-office label because the data came before the 2025 Jail Services reorganization.

Capacity should not be read as a simple open-bed count. A 2025 City of Raymond boarding-prisoner contract says Pacific County may refuse city arrestees if the adult jail population exceeds 29 inmates or classification capacity, whichever occurs first. That threshold is lower than the 59-bed facility count because small jails must separate people by classification, gender, medical and mental-health needs, protective custody, violence risk, co-defendant issues, suicide risk, and staffing limits. The roster capture in the research counted about 18 current inmates on July 2, 2026, but that number changes constantly.

How to Look Up an Inmate at Pacific County Jail

Use the official Pacific County Jail roster for current local custody. The roster has current, bookings, and releases views, and individual rows may include a VINE registration link for custody-notification setup. It is the right source for pretrial jail custody and short local sentences, but it is not the right source for people who have moved to Washington State Department of Corrections prisons, federal custody, or immigration detention. For sentenced state-prison custody, use the WA DOC incarcerated search instead of the county roster.

1. Open the current roster at the county jail site and search or scan for the person's name.
2. Record the booking number, booked-at time, arresting agency, court abbreviation, bond type, warrant or citation number, and charge description.
3. Use the bookings tab for recent intake and the releases tab for recent release timestamps if the person is not on the current roster.
4. Use the VINE Register link when available for notification, then use court search if formal charges or court status must be verified.

Pacific County's jail roster is the main lookup source for people currently held at the county jail.

The roster screenshot shows why each row must be read carefully: court, charge, bond, and VINE details can appear together but still need court verification.

Pacific County Jail Address and Contact

Use Jail Services for custody, visitation, communications, mail, and facility-specific questions. The official facility address is 300 Memorial Drive, PO Box 47, South Bend, WA 98586. County directory phones list 360-875-9396 and 360-642-9396, while NCIC and Jail Services material also lists 360-875-9390. Fax numbers vary by source, so fax-sensitive requests should be confirmed with staff before sending.

Pacific County's directory lists Jail Services Director James "Jim" Byrd and the jail address and phone numbers.

The directory is useful because it reflects the post-reorganization Jail Services department rather than older sheriff-only jail references.

Visiting Someone at Pacific County Jail

The official jail page says no in-person visitation is available at this time. Family and friends use remote visitation through NCIC, and the jail waiting area has a kiosk that can be used for remote visits. Jail Services and NCIC materials say incarcerated individuals have wall-mounted phones and secure handheld tablets for video visitation, phone calls, text messaging, and educational or rehabilitative programming. A November 2025 release says tablets are available from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m.

Mail, Phone, and Money at Pacific County Jail

Letter mail uses NCIC scanning. The jail page and NCIC press release direct senders to include the inmate name, name number or SO number, and facility name. The mail-scanning address is in Longview, Texas, not the South Bend jail address. Books, magazines, newspapers, bulk mail, and packages are not accepted at the NCIC Longview address and will be returned. Those items must be sent to the facility where the inmate is housed if they are permitted, so confirm before mailing anything beyond ordinary letters.

Booking and Intake at Pacific County Jail

Pacific County Jail receives adults after arrests, warrants, court orders, probation matters, DOC community-custody violations, and holds. A booking row can show the arresting agency, court, bond type, warrant or citation number, charge description, and VINE registration link. That row documents custody and cause of confinement, but it is not the final court record. After booking, the prosecutor may file charges, the court may set or change bond, and a person may be released, sentenced, transferred, or held for another agency.

Washington law supports the basic public jail register while limiting broader jail-file disclosure. RCW 70.48.100 requires a public register with name, hour and date of confinement, cause of confinement, and hour, date, and manner of discharge. Other records of a person confined in jail are generally confidential unless an exception applies. RCW 36.28A.040 also ties statewide jail booking and reporting data to charges, descriptive information, capacity data, mugshots for system purposes, and release or transfer time.

Directions and Map

The public mapping address is 300 Memorial Drive, South Bend, WA 98586. From the Long Beach Peninsula and south county, route toward US-101 and South Bend, then follow local courthouse or public safety building signs. From Raymond and north county, US-101 runs into South Bend and places the courthouse campus on the government-office side of town. From inland approaches using WA-6 or WA-4 connections, route to US-101 before entering South Bend.

Official jail pages reviewed do not publish visitor parking rates, a detailed parking map, or a specific transit stop for the jail. Use the courthouse and public safety campus parking area, avoid secure or official-vehicle areas, and confirm any accessibility or visitor-entry questions before arrival. Coastal weather, winter storms, river flooding, and road conditions can affect Pacific County travel.

About Pacific County Jail Services

The 2025 reorganization is central to understanding current facility references. Pacific County Jail Services became a county Department of Corrections effective January 1, 2025, and James A. Byrd was appointed director. In a February 4, 2025 Jail Services press release, Byrd said he was hired to bring experienced correctional leadership, reduce liability through policies, procedures, and programs, and look at adding Medication for Opioid Use Disorder and jail reentry services. The same release described a major internal door-replacement remodeling project that required the jail population to be reduced and was expected to be completed by February 10, 2025.

Later official materials described the NCIC communications system change, including wall phones, tablets, video visitation, messaging, educational and rehabilitative programming, reduced rates compared with the prior system, and no taxpayer expense. The research also notes a Washington Department of Health unexpected fatality review concerning an October 7, 2024 jail death. That review found issues involving safety checks and handling of suicide-related information and recommended system changes. No current official ACA accreditation, public grievance procedure, or religious-services page was located in the official county sources reviewed.
