The Chelan County Regional Justice Center is the main jail for the county. The Chelan County Sheriff's Office runs the facility.

The Chelan County inmate records page is the public entry point for the Chelan County jail roster. It gives basic custody info for current inmates. Older records are held by the Sheriff's Office and can be requested through a formal public records request.

Most arrests from Wenatchee, Chelan, Leavenworth, and Cashmere feed into the same jail. The Chelan County jail roster shows them all in one list.

What Is on the Chelan County Jail Roster

Under RCW 70.48.100, the Chelan County jail roster must list the name of each inmate, whether the inmate is in custody, the charges for which the inmate is held, any sentence conditions, the scheduled release date when set, and the court of jurisdiction. This is the core set of public data. The roster at the Regional Justice Center follows this rule closely.

The law also keeps some data out of public view. Medical records, disciplinary records, victim info, informant info, and security data are all exempt. So is any personal identifying data beyond what the law lists. The Chelan County jail roster does not show home address, social security number, or phone number.

For data beyond the basic roster, file a formal public records request with the Chelan County Public Records Office. The office handles requests under the Public Records Act at RCW 42.56. The five-day response rule applies to all requests. The county may give you the record, deny the request, or ask for more time.

VINE Alerts for Chelan County Inmates

The state runs a free alert service called VINE. Sign up with a name and a phone or email. The system will send an alert when a Chelan County inmate is released, moved, or booked again. VINE is free and kept in confidence. It works for both the Chelan County jail and the state prison system. The Washington Association of Sheriffs and Police Chiefs helps run the VINE program.

VINE is the best fit when you want a live alert but cannot check the Chelan County jail roster each day.
