Which system is holding them?

There is no single search that covers everyone in Multnomah County. Match the situation to the right official locator — most families start with the first one.

If the arrest was recent

Start with the local jail

For a recent local arrest, check the arresting jurisdiction’s official jail roster or custody-notification service. Housing may be at a municipal, county, regional, or contracted facility. If no record appears, ask the arresting agency or jail how to confirm the booking; do not infer the destination from distance or a facility listing.

Multnomah County publishes Multnomah County Detention Center phone for detention assistance. Ask whether the person is in the named provider’s custody, was released or transferred, and which agency or facility should handle follow-up. This does not establish where every municipal, tribal or federal arrest is booked.

Multnomah County — Multnomah County Detention Center phone

No answered call, operating-hours guarantee, exclusive provider map or automatic arrest-to-facility transfer is established.

Oregon local custody/service resources

Official VISOR resource directory; select county and responsible agency.

Use the county filter and the listed assistance contact.

Local source reviewed 2026-10-05. This is published phone assistance; the number was not called.

If nothing appears, contact the arresting agency or the responsible jail to ask how to confirm booking. A missing record does not prove release, and an agency may limit what it can disclose.

If they were sentenced to prison

Use the correctional locator

For a state-prison sentence, use the Oregon correctional locator. A short jail sentence may still be served in a local or regional jail. A sentence alone does not establish the housing location; confirm with the responsible agency.

If the charge is federal

Search the Federal Bureau of Prisons

A federal charge does not tell you which building holds the person. The U.S. Marshals Service is responsible for federal pretrial detention and may use local, state, private, or federal facilities. Check the Federal Bureau of Prisons locator, but a missing result does not establish that the person is not detained. For a recent federal arrest, contact the arresting agency or the relevant U.S. Marshals district office to ask about the appropriate custody-information process. USMS is a contact route, not a public person locator, and disclosure of a location is not guaranteed.

Other kinds of custody

Immigration detention has a separate official ICE detainee locator. It does not search for people under 18, and a missing result does not prove release; use the official ICE field-office contacts. Search by A-number and country of birth, or the name/country/date-of-birth information requested by the service. Access and disclosure can be restricted.

Juvenile and tribal custody may have different agencies, privacy rules, and search limits. This guide does not provide a comprehensive juvenile or tribal locator. Contact the arresting agency or responsible juvenile or tribal authority to confirm the correct process.

For federal pretrial detention, use the U.S. Marshals district directory. Federal responsibility can include housing in a local jail.
