This is a private reference site, not the Linn County Sheriff's Office, the jail, a court, or a records counter. We cannot confirm whether someone is in custody, release a person, accept bail, schedule visits, or obtain official booking records. Use the official office that controls the record or custody event.
Where to Start for Linn County Custody Questions
Linn County Sheriff's Office and Jail
Sheriff: Michelle Duncan
Address: 1115 Jackson St. SE, Albany, OR 97322
Sheriff's main phone: 541-967-3950
Jail phone: 541-967-3901
Records fax: 541-967-8169
Records email: Records_Reports@linnsheriff.org
The sheriff's non-emergency phone is answered 24 hours a day. The sheriff's online contact form is for general contact and report-related follow-up may take up to two business days. Records requests must be written on the Request for Copies of Records form and may be submitted in person, by mail, by fax, or by email. Oregon public-records access is governed in part by ORS 192, but exemptions, review time, fees, and investigation limits can apply.
Use the list below to match the question to the right page or official lookup path.
- For an adult currently held at Linn County Jail, start with jail inmate records and then call 541-967-3901 if the roster does not answer the custody question.
- For booking-photo questions, read jail roster mugshots; Oregon restrictions under ORS 133.870 mean the Linn County roster does not publish booking photos.
- For charges filed after arrest, use court records after a jail arrest, because court filings are handled through Oregon Judicial Department or the local court, not this site.
- For a facility address or phone number, use the facility pages linked in the footer for Linn County Jail, Linn-Benton Juvenile Detention Center, Oak Creek Youth Correctional Facility, and Jackie Winters Transition Program.
- For a sentenced adult prisoner, use Oregon Department of Corrections Offender Search or VISOR rather than the county jail roster.
- For federal or immigration custody, use the BOP Inmate Locator or ICE Online Detainee Locator System. No BOP prison or ICE detention center was identified in Linn County.
