Locate Salt Lake County Oxbow Jail Inmates

Salt Lake County Oxbow Jail Overview

Salt Lake County Oxbow Jail is operated by the Salt Lake County Sheriff's Office Corrections Bureau and sits near the Metro Jail correctional campus area in South Salt Lake. The research identifies Oxbow as a county jail campus with lower-security and program-capable units. It holds Salt Lake County jail inmates assigned away from Metro, but the public should not infer program eligibility, custody level, or visit access from a housing code unless the sheriff publishes a clear code glossary.

Oxbow is not a stand-alone jail system. Public lookup, phone routing, GRAMA requests, mail rules, and deposit instructions flow through Salt Lake County Corrections. A person may be booked through Metro and later housed at Oxbow, or moved again by classification. Court charges remain a separate Utah court record, and sentenced state-prison custody belongs in the Utah Department of Corrections locator rather than the county jail roster.

Salt Lake County Oxbow Jail Lookup

There is no separate official Oxbow Jail roster in the research. Use the county Find a Prisoner page, the Salt Lake County Inmate Lookup Tool, and the Jail Dockets & Rosters page. Those tools cover Salt Lake County jail custody as a system, including people who may be assigned to Oxbow after intake.

The lookup form accepts first name, last name, and identifier searches. Identifier options shown in the research were booking number, permanent number, and state ID. The daily roster PDF can show housing, SO number, booking number, booking date and time, TP code, and charges. The in/out docket can show booking movement for a given day. If neither source confirms Oxbow housing, call Corrections at 385-468-8400 or use a GRAMA request for records not posted online.

The Jail Dockets & Rosters page lists the daily roster and daily in/out docket files used for Salt Lake County jail custody checks.

Those public PDF files are especially useful when the old inmate lookup form does not show a new booking or a recent movement clearly.

1. Search the Inmate Lookup Tool by last name, with first name added when needed.
2. Try booking number, permanent number, or state ID if an identifier is known.
3. Open the daily roster PDF and look for the person by name or SO number.
4. Check the in/out docket if the question is about a recent booking or release.
5. Use 385-468-8400 or the GRAMA portal before assuming the person is not housed at Oxbow.

Salt Lake County Oxbow Jail Contact

Oxbow has its own physical address, but public jail routing still runs through Salt Lake County Corrections. The same public phone number is used for county jail information, and official communication pages route important family tasks through Metro even when the prisoner is housed at Oxbow. This is the most important practical difference for visitors and families: Oxbow is the housing site, while Metro is often the transaction and mailing route.

Salt Lake County Oxbow Jail Visits

Oxbow uses the county jail visiting rules, but the posted visitor limit is different from Metro. Oxbow allows two visitors, while Metro allows three. Infants under one year old do not count toward the limit. Walk-in personal visits are welcomed, but prescheduled visits are encouraged and take priority. Visits may be scheduled up to six days in advance by calling 385-468-8400.

Visitors must check in at least 30 minutes before the visit start, and they cannot enter the visiting lobby more than 45 minutes before the start time. Visitors age 16 or older must show valid government-issued ID. Minors visiting a parent must be accompanied by an adult, and minors under 18 must be with a parent, step-parent, or legal guardian unless jail rules say otherwise. Proof of guardianship may be required.

Note: Oxbow visits can be canceled or limited by housing moves, discipline, quarantine, transport, staffing, or emergency conditions.

Salt Lake County Oxbow Jail Mail and Money

Oxbow mail and deposit rules are county jail rules, but the key routing point is Metro Jail. The county mail instructions state that the Metro Jail mailing address is also used for Oxbow prisoners. Mail should include the prisoner's name and SO# if known. Incoming mail is inspected for contraband before delivery, except legally privileged mail. Packages, cash, prohibited materials, and non-USPS deliveries may be refused under the posted rules.

Money deposits for Oxbow prisoners are also handled through Metro Jail only, according to the official county deposit page. Friends and family can use listed ConnectNetwork options, phone, lobby kiosk, mail, or Metro in-person deposit hours. Up to 50% of new money deposited may be taken to pay balances owed to the jail. Certified checks, cashier's checks, and money orders are subject to a 7-day hold before funds are available for inmate use.

Salt Lake County Oxbow Jail Assignment

Oxbow's role is best understood as part of a two-building Salt Lake County jail system. Metro is the primary booking and public transaction location. Oxbow provides additional county jail housing and program-capable units after Corrections makes a classification decision. Public roster entries may include housing values or codes, but the research did not identify a public code glossary that lets readers translate every code into a plain-English security level or program status.

Classification is not the same as sentencing. A person can be in county jail before trial, after a court remand, on a warrant, serving a local jail sentence, or held for another agency. A person sentenced to Utah state prison should be searched through the Utah Department of Corrections offender search after transfer. For broader county jail lookup steps, the Salt Lake County jail inmate records page explains how the shared roster, phone line, GRAMA process, DOC search, BOP locator, ICE ODLS, and VINELink fit together.

County jail

Local custody for booking, pretrial detention, local jail sentences, warrants, remands, and some holds.

Housing assignment

A Corrections decision about where a jail prisoner is placed within the county jail system.

GRAMA

Utah's Government Records Access and Management Act, used for public-records requests when online jail data is not enough.

State prison

UDC custody after a prison sentence or state correctional placement, separate from Oxbow jail lookup.

Salt Lake County Oxbow Jail Records

Oxbow records are part of Salt Lake County jail records. If the shared lookup or daily roster does not show the needed information, use Sheriff Records or the Salt Lake County NextRequest GRAMA portal. GRAMA is the formal route for booking records, historical jail records, records removed from online display, booking photos not visible through the public profile, and copies that require review or redaction.

Utah public-records law allows access to public records while also classifying some records as private, controlled, protected, or restricted. That is why a jail roster can be public while dates of birth, health data, juvenile details, victim information, and some investigative records are withheld. For court outcomes after an Oxbow booking, use Utah Courts or the court clerk. Booking charges and formal court charges can differ after prosecutor review.
