The Yakima County
Jail Roster contains inmate information that is available for public release.
Most other inmate jail records (including booking photos) are confidential and are exempt from public disclosure (
RCW 70.48.100).
Inmate records may only be provided directly to the inmate, to a third-party with a signed release from the inmate, or by a court order. To obtain (non-medical) inmate records please complete and submit an
Authorization for Release of Inmate Records.
The release of medical records (even to an inmate) requires a signed
Authorization for Use and Disclosure of Health Care Information form. No medical information will be released without this completed form or a court order signed by a judge.
If you would like to make a records request, please use our online Public Records Request Portal.
