Douglas County Jail Roster Overview
The Douglas County Sheriff's Office operates the local jail and publishes Jail Viewer for public access to booking information. DCSO lists the sheriff's office at 1036 SE Douglas Avenue in Roseburg, with a business phone of 541-440-4450 and jail questions at 541-440-4440. The corrections page lists a 232-bed jail capacity, though the maximum number held can shift because of classification spacing and staffing needs.
Jail Viewer is not the same as a court conviction record. The portal says it provides public access to information related to inmates booked into Douglas County Sheriff's Jail Viewer and may include descriptive information, mugshot images, and offenses charged by the arresting agency. It also warns that people have been arrested but not necessarily found guilty, and that final case dispositions must be confirmed with the Douglas County Circuit Court Clerk.
The Douglas County Jail Viewer booking search page is the official roster search source assigned in the manifest.
That search page is the best public starting point for recent county booking records before checking court outcomes.
Use the Douglas County Jail Roster
The roster can be searched broadly or with narrow date and status filters. Wildcards are allowed with the percent sign, such as M% or sm%th examples from the research capture. That helps when a name spelling is uncertain. Search results should be read with care because custody data changes quickly and the roster may list an original charge rather than the final filed court charge.
- Open Jail Viewer and choose the booking search query screen.
- Enter a last name, first name, booking date range, release date range, or custody status.
- Use the percent sign wildcard when a name spelling is uncertain.
- Run the search and compare names, booking dates, release dates, and custody status.
- Open the inmate profile, then confirm court disposition through the Circuit Court record when needed.
For charges after arrest, compare roster data with Douglas County arrest records and court charges. A jail record may show why the person was originally detained, while the court case shows what the prosecutor filed and how the case ended.
Douglas County Inmate Search Fields
Jail Viewer offers several search fields, and none of the captured fields are marked as strictly required except the search action itself. That makes the tool flexible, but broad searches can return more names than expected. Use full names or date ranges when possible.
| Field Label | Type | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Last Name | Text | No | Wildcard percent sign allowed, including M% or sm%th examples. |
| First Name | Text | No | Can be combined with other fields for a narrower search. |
| Booking From Date | Date | No | Starts a booking-date range. |
| Booking To Date | Date | No | Ends a booking-date range. |
| Release From Date | Date | No | Starts a release-date range. |
| Release To Date | Date | No | Ends a release-date range. |
| Status | Radio or dropdown | No | ALL, IN CUSTODY, or OUT Of CUSTODY. |
| ValidSearch | Button/action | Yes | Runs the booking search. |
Douglas County Inmate Profile Fields
The public profile inventory is partial because exact field display can change with the record. The research confirms the portal may show descriptive information, mugshot images, and offenses charged by the arresting agency. It also confirms that the database contains listings of persons processed into Douglas County Jail and the charge or charges for which the person was originally detained.
| Field | What It Shows |
|---|---|
| Name | The person listed in the county jail booking record. |
| Booking status | Whether the search result appears in custody, out of custody, or under all-status results. |
| Booking date | The intake date range or booking date tied to the jail record. |
| Release date | A release date or release range when one is listed. |
| Descriptive information | Public identifying details allowed by the jail viewer. |
| Mugshot image | A booking image when available and public. |
| Offenses charged by arresting agency | Original detention charges, not proof of conviction. |
| Disposition warning | Reminder to confirm final case results with Circuit Court. |
Douglas County Jail Contact Card
The jail, sheriff, Circuit Court, District Attorney, and several court services are clustered around the same county complex in Roseburg. For inmate records, the key distinction is office function. Jail questions go to the sheriff's jail phone. Court dispositions, certified copies, and filed court charges go to the Circuit Court Records Office.
Douglas County Jail
1036 SE Douglas Avenue
Roseburg, OR 97470
541-440-4440
Capacity listed by DCSO: 232 beds
DCSO reports average bookings of 6,552 per year and jail staff including corrections supervisors, deputies, a transport deputy, and front-desk clerks. The corrections page also notes rehabilitative opportunities such as RSAT and job or life skill education.
Douglas County Inmates and State Custody
Use the county roster for recent local booking and county custody. Use Oregon Offender Search for state prison or sentenced adult-in-custody records. For custody notifications, Oregon VISOR can search for individuals in county or state custody and send release, transfer, escape, or death notifications by phone, email, or text.
Sex offender information is separate from the jail roster. The Oregon State Police sex offender registry is the official registry source, and the public site lists Level 3 offenders. It should not be treated as a general jail roster or court case lookup.
Douglas County Inmate Mail
Regular AIC postal mail does not go straight to the jail building in Roseburg. DCSO directs regular mail to Smart Communications / Douglas County Jail, with the AIC's name and ID number, at PO Box 9213, Seminole, FL 33775-9213. The AIC name and booking or ID number must be clearly printed outside the envelope or postcard. Regular mail is scanned into the system and made available to the AIC on smart devices.
Legal mail and publications still go directly to Douglas County Jail, AIC Name and ID, 1036 SE Douglas Avenue, Roseburg, OR 97470. Friends and family may subscribe to MailGuard Tracker to view delivery status, receive rejection notices, and download processed mail copies.
The DCSO AIC mail page documents the Smart Communications address, scanning process, and legal-mail rule.
The mail source is especially important because ordinary mail uses the Florida scanning address while legal mail remains local.
Douglas County Jail Visitation
DCSO uses video visitation. Justice Building video units are available on weekdays except holidays, and remote video is handled through SmartInmate with a fee. The research notes three video units on the third-floor lobby, including one ADA-compliant unit. Visits must be scheduled online. DCSO also warns iPhone users to use Chrome rather than Safari for video visitation.
| Visit Type | Schedule or Cost | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Justice Building video units | Monday-Friday, 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM, excluding holidays | Free onsite video units on the third-floor lobby; one ADA-compliant unit. |
| Remote video | Fee charged by SmartInmate | Computer or smart device with web camera; iPhone users should use Chrome. |
| Holiday closures | Closed on listed legal holidays | Includes New Year's Day, MLK Day, Presidents' Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Veterans Day, Thanksgiving, and Christmas. |
The DCSO visiting page is the manifest source for video units, remote visiting, ADA access, and holiday closures.
Visitation rules are operational details, so they should be checked close to the visit date before travel.
Douglas County Inmate Phone Calls
Douglas County Jail uses Smart Communications for calls between AICs and approved contacts. Account signup is required. Calls are limited to 15 minutes each. AICs with trust-account funds may use those funds for calls. Third-party calls, account sharing, or routing to blocked numbers can cause the number to be blocked. Calls are recorded except verified attorney and clergy calls.
Smart Communications support is available through Contact Us or Submit a Message on the account side, or through the Customer Care Center at 888-253-5178. The research lists support as 24/7.
The DCSO AIC phone calls page documents the Smart Communications account, 15-minute limit, and recording rule.
Phone-call rules affect family contact, attorney contact, and blocked-number issues, so the vendor account setup matters.
Douglas County Inmate Money Deposits
DCSO lists several ways to add money. The Keefe kiosk is on the third floor near the jail visiting entrance and accepts cash or credit/debit cards during normal business hours, 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM Monday through Friday excluding holidays. Access Secure Deposits phone deposits use 866-345-1884, with fees as low as $3.95. Access Corrections internet deposits accept Mastercard and Visa debit or credit cards, with fees as low as $2.95.
The SmartInmate phone page also lists deposits through www.smartinmate.com and by phone at 727-349-1561, seven days a week, 7:00 AM to midnight Eastern. Because fees and vendors can change, use the official jail deposit page before sending money.
The DCSO money-deposit page is the source for Keefe kiosk, Access Secure Deposits, phone deposits, internet deposits, and card acceptance.
Deposit methods are tied to jail operations, not to court fines or criminal-case payments.
Douglas County Commissary Orders
Commissary ordering runs through Access Corrections Packages. AICs can receive $50 worth of products. The purchaser must create an account and should confirm that the AIC is currently in Douglas County Jail and not scheduled for release. Purchases are non-refundable. If the AIC leaves before distribution, the items belong to the AIC. If the AIC is transported, the AIC must complete a property release.
DCSO states that commissary not picked up within 48 hours of delivery is disposed of and refunds are not issued. These details are specific to Douglas County jail operations and matter when ordering close to a release or transfer date.
The DCSO commissary page documents Access Corrections Packages, the $50 limit, account rule, and release or transport rules.
The commissary source shows why a current custody check should happen before any package order.
Important: Jail roster charges are not final convictions; confirm court outcomes with Douglas County Circuit Court records.
