Contact Records Offices

Benton County Inmate Population is a private reference site, not a government office. We cannot confirm custody, release anyone, post bond, schedule visits, send money, or pull official booking records. Use the official offices below for those tasks.


Benton County Record Contacts

Sheriff Jef Van Arsdall's office operates the Benton County Jail and publishes the Adult in Custody roster. Jail questions, current custody checks, visiting questions, and jail-specific records start with the jail or Sheriff's Office. Law-enforcement reports use the Sheriff/Corvallis shared records process, while formal court filings belong to Benton County Circuit Court and Oregon Judicial Department systems.

Choose the record path that matches the question:

  • For someone in Benton County Jail or a Benton contract bed, use the jail inmate records page, then call 541-766-6866 if the roster does not answer the custody question.
  • For booking photos, use jail roster mugshots. Benton does not publish roster photos online because Oregon law limits booking-photo release.
  • For charges filed after an arrest, use court records after a jail arrest and Benton County Circuit Court access.
  • For facility rules, check Benton County Jail, Polk County Jail, or Clatsop County Jail based on the housing location shown on the roster.
  • For a sentenced Oregon prisoner, search Oregon DOC's Oregon Offender Search or VISOR.
  • For federal or immigration custody, use the BOP inmate locator or ICE detainee locator.

For law-enforcement records, Benton County directs requesters to the Sheriff's Records Division or the shared Benton County Sheriff's Office and City of Corvallis Police Department request system. The official records guidance says to allow at least five business days for police-report processing and to expect fees when records require staff time, copies, or mailing. General Benton County public records requests follow ORS 192 and may use the County Counsel public-records process when a request does not fit a law-enforcement category.
