The Uinta Co Jail is a detention center located at 77 Co Rd 109 Evanston, WY which is operated locally by the Uinta County Sheriff's Office and holds inmates awaiting trial or sentencing or both. Most of the sentenced inmates are here for less than two years. Uinta County accepts inmates from surrounding towns, Evanston Police Department, and the US Marshal's Service.

New detainees arrive at the jail regularly, with some being released on bail, placed under pretrial services caseloads, supervised by probation agencies, or released on recognizance with a court appearance agreement. Those who are not released await their court appearances at the jail, receiving accommodations including bedding and meals.

The Uinta County Detention Center in Evanston, Wyoming, is a county-operated correctional facility that houses ICE detainees under contract with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Located in the far southwestern corner of Wyoming near the Utah border, the detention center primarily serves local criminal detention needs while also supporting federal immigration detention operations through intergovernmental agreements with ICE. The jail houses pretrial detainees, sentenced inmates, federal holds, and immigration detainees awaiting transfer, immigration proceedings, or removal actions. Because of its location along the Interstate 80 corridor connecting Utah, Wyoming, and Colorado, the facility serves as a practical transportation and temporary detention point within the broader regional correctional system.

The detention center maintains a capacity of roughly 192 inmates and detainees, making it one of the larger county jail facilities in western Wyoming. The jail includes secure housing pods, booking and intake areas, medical services, inmate communication systems, transportation infrastructure, attorney visitation areas, and electronic messaging capabilities designed to support both local inmates and federal detainees. County officials have continued modernizing inmate communication systems and detention procedures in recent years, including expanded digital messaging and monitored video communication services for inmates housed at the facility.

ICE Detainee Information

This facility holds immigration detainees under an active contract with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement in addition to its regular population. ICE detainees are civil immigration detainees, not criminal defendants, and are held while their immigration cases are processed. The rules, rights, and services that apply to ICE detainees differ from those that apply to the general jail population.

To locate an ICE detainee at this facility, use the ICE Online Detainee Locator at locator.ice.gov. You will need the detainee's A-Number, a nine-digit Alien Registration Number that appears on any immigration document they have received. If the A-Number has fewer than nine digits, add zeros at the beginning. If you do not have the A-Number, you can search using the detainee's full legal name, country of birth, and date of birth. Names must be an exact match; try variations if the first search returns no results.

Immigration bond works differently from criminal bail. Not all detainees are eligible for bond; those with certain criminal convictions or prior deportation orders may be subject to mandatory detention. For those who are eligible, the bond is set by an immigration judge and typically ranges from $1,500 to over $10,000. Bond must be paid in full before release. An immigration attorney can request a bond hearing and argue for a lower amount based on the detainee's circumstances.

Unlike criminal defendants, ICE detainees do not have the right to a government-appointed attorney. They must hire a private immigration attorney or find free legal help through a nonprofit organization. RAICES provides legal services and bond assistance at raicestexas.org. The National Immigrant Justice Center offers free legal representation at immigrantjustice.org. Many immigration courts also maintain a list of free and low-cost legal service providers available to detainees upon request.

ICE transfers detainees between facilities frequently and with little advance notice, sometimes to locations far from family and legal counsel. If you cannot locate your family member through this page, search the ICE Online Detainee Locator again at locator.ice.gov with their A-Number. If they have an attorney, notify the attorney immediately as transfers affect court appearances and case timelines.

The facility operates under the authority of the Uinta County Sheriff’s Office, currently led by Sheriff Andy Kopp. The sheriff’s office oversees county patrol operations, civil process functions, courthouse security, and management of the detention center. Like many county detention systems throughout the Rocky Mountain region, Uinta County participates in federal detention partnerships that provide supplemental operational revenue through agreements with ICE and other federal agencies. The jail’s strategic location near major interstate transportation routes makes it useful for temporary federal detainee housing and inmate movement operations throughout Wyoming and neighboring states.

Unlike the massive privately operated ICE detention compounds found in Texas, Louisiana, and Georgia, the Uinta County Detention Center functions primarily as a traditional county jail with supplemental federal detention capabilities. Immigration detainees housed there are generally held temporarily before transfer to larger regional detention centers or immigration court jurisdictions elsewhere within the federal system. Federal detention records and ICE reporting data have periodically identified the jail as an active ICE detention location within Wyoming’s limited immigration detention infrastructure. The facility’s smaller size allows corrections staff to maintain closer supervision and classification control than many larger detention centers handling thousands of detainees nationwide.

The Uinta County Detention Center continues serving as one of Wyoming’s more important county correctional facilities while remaining part of ICE’s broader detention and transportation network across the western United States. The jail’s modern operational systems, secure housing design, and established federal detention agreements allow DHS and ICE authorities to utilize the facility for temporary detention and transfer coordination. As immigration enforcement operations continue expanding beyond traditional border states, county facilities like Uinta County increasingly play a larger supporting role within the national immigration detention infrastructure.

Inmate Locator

Finding an Inmate at Uinta County WY Detention Center (ICE)

If you're trying to locate someone in custody at Uinta County WY Detention Center (ICE) in Evanston, Wyoming, the fastest path depends on how recently the arrest happened, what type of facility holds the inmate, and how quickly that facility updates its public records. There is no single nationwide inmate database that covers every detention facility in real time, so locating a specific person often means checking multiple sources or calling Uinta County WY Detention Center (ICE) directly at 307-783-1027.

Using the InmateAid Inmate Search

The InmateAid inmate search is the fastest starting point for locating someone at Uinta County WY Detention Center (ICE). The search pulls from facility rosters, booking systems, and arrest record databases to return current custody status, charges, and housing facility. If the person was arrested or transferred recently and doesn't appear yet, the facility likely hasn't updated its public roster, which can lag by hours or a full business day. Try again later or call 307-783-1027 to confirm.

When the Inmate Doesn't Appear in the Search

Several explanations are possible if a person isn't showing up. The booking may not be complete. The person may have been released, transferred to another facility, or moved to federal or immigration custody. Some facilities deliberately delay public records by 24 to 72 hours for security reasons. Minors are never published in any public locator regardless of facility. To rule out a transfer or release, call 307-783-1027 and ask the booking desk to confirm current status.

What You'll Need to Search Effectively

Have ready: full legal name and any aliases, date of birth, and approximate date of arrest. If you know which agency made the arrest, that narrows results significantly. A booking number locates the record immediately. Without at least a full name and approximate date, searches return too many results to be useful.

Once You've Located the Inmate

When you confirm the person is at Uinta County WY Detention Center (ICE), set up a prepaid phone account so you don't miss the first call, and arrange any money transfer or commissary funding needed. For phone discount plans, money transfer, and mail services available at Uinta County WY Detention Center (ICE), see InmateAid's inmate services and call 307-783-1027.

To confirm current custody status, recent transfers, or release information at Uinta County WY Detention Center (ICE), call 307-783-1027.
