Where to Find Spokane 72 Hour Booking Records

City charges go through the Spokane Municipal Court at 909 W Mallon, phone 509.835.5936. The court runs a relicensing program at the same number.

How the Spokane Jail Roster Works
Booking starts at intake. A jail deputy logs the name, date of birth, charge, arresting agency, and a fresh booking number. The 72 hour clock starts at that point. The court must hold a probable cause hearing within three court days. The judge sets bond, picks a release plan, or orders the person held for trial. This is the first court date that ties a booking to a public case file.
The roster updates as people come in and go out. Spokane is a busy facility, so the list moves fast. Some names show up on the morning roster and are gone by night. If you need a snapshot, save the page when you find it. The jail does not keep an archive of past rosters online.
Adults go through the main jail at 1100 W. Mallon. Juveniles run through a separate process. For juvenile inmate questions, call (509) 477-2404. The state Public Records Act at RCW 42.56 covers these records. Booking logs are public. Some fields are not.
What Appears on a Spokane Booking Record
A standard Spokane booking record shows the inmate name, date of birth, sex, race, height, and weight. It lists the booking date and time, the booking number, the arresting agency, and the charges. Bond is added when set. Court dates come next. The record may also show a hold from another agency or a federal warrant.
Some details stay out of the public version. Social Security numbers, medical notes, and parts of juvenile files are sealed under RCW 10.97, the Criminal Records Privacy Act. Booking photos are also held back in most cases under RCW 70.48.100.
To match a booking to a court file, use Find My Court Date. It pulls upcoming hearings by name across many Washington courts.
Note: Spokane Municipal Court files differ from Spokane County District and Superior Court files, so check both when running a name search.
The Spokane Municipal Court FAQ page covers bond, relicensing, and inmate lookup steps in plain language. View the Spokane Municipal Court FAQs for the full list.
The FAQ also points users to the Sheriff inmate roster for custody status.
