The Clackamas County Jail roster is the official public list of adults currently in custody at the Clackamas County Jail in Oregon City, Oregon. The Sheriff’s Office now labels the service “Adults in Custody,” and the individual records provide considerably more than a name. A typical entry can show the booking number and date, age and basic identifying information, arresting agency, listed charge, statute, charge status, bail amount, clear type, court case number and, when one has been set, a scheduled release date. That combination makes the roster useful both for a quick custody check and for understanding which court matter is tied to a jail hold. It is also important to read the fields carefully. A charge within a current booking may show a status such as sentenced or dismissed, while the person remains jailed on another charge or hold. A scheduled release date can also change if another legal hold or court order intervenes. The roster should therefore be treated as current corrections information, while the Oregon Judicial Department and Clackamas County Circuit Court records should be used to follow the formal criminal case.

What Information Does the Clackamas County Jail Roster Show?
The Sheriff’s Office Adults in Custody page provides one of the more detailed county jail entries in this series. Individual records can contain:
- Full name and booking number
- Booking date
- Scheduled release date when one is recorded
- Age, date of birth and other basic identifying information
- Arresting agency
- Charge statute and description
- Charge status
- Bail amount
- Clear type or release-related notation
- Court case number when linked to the charge
Because a single inmate can have several charges with different statuses, the entire record should be reviewed. A dismissed charge can appear beside a sentenced or unresolved charge within the same current custody record.
How to Search the Clackamas County Jail Roster
Use the Sheriff’s Office Adults in Custody page, which replaced the older roster application for current inmate information.
- Open the Clackamas County Sheriff’s Office Adults in Custody page.
- Locate the person by name in the current roster.
- Open the matching record to review the booking number and booking date.
- Compare age, date of birth and arresting agency when several people have similar names.
- Review each charge separately, including its status, bail amount and court case number.
- Check the scheduled release field if one is shown, but do not assume it overrides another hold or later court order.
- Call the jail at 503-722-6777 when the online record does not answer an urgent custody or release question.
Understanding Charge Status, Bail and Scheduled Release
Clackamas County’s current roster combines several fields that answer different questions.
- Booking number: Identifies the current admission to the jail.
- Charge status: Shows how that listed charge is presently classified within the jail record; statuses can differ among charges.
- Bail: Displays the amount associated with a listed matter at that time, including $0 when no cash bail is shown.
- Clear type: Can provide additional release or legal-processing information associated with the charge.
- Court case number: Helps connect the jail charge to the formal court case.
- Scheduled release: Shows a planned date when one is recorded, but it is not a guarantee that no other hold will affect release.
The Sheriff’s Office also explains that a “forced release” used to manage jail capacity does not dismiss criminal charges. A person released for capacity reasons remains responsible for court appearances and release conditions.
What to Do If Someone Is Not Listed
A missing name can reflect timing, release or another custody location.
- Check the spelling of the legal name.
- Allow time for intake if the arrest occurred very recently.
- Make sure you are using the new Adults in Custody page rather than an older saved roster link.
- Consider whether the person was taken to another county jail, a state facility or federal custody.
- If a release was expected, check court records or contact the jail rather than assuming the case ended.
- Call 503-722-6777 when a current-custody question cannot be resolved online.
Clackamas County Jail Address, Phone Number and Bail Information
The official jail contact details are:
- Facility: Clackamas County Jail
- Address: 2206 Kaen Road, Oregon City, OR 97045
- Jail phone: 503-722-6777
- Sheriff’s Office main phone: 503-785-5000
Bail can be posted at the jail lobby 24 hours a day. The Sheriff’s Office requires photo identification and a Citizen Bail form. For cash bail, the exact amount is required; the jail does not accept personal checks, money orders, cashier’s checks, traveler’s checks, credit cards, debit cards or coins for the cash-bail transaction. The county also notes that release after bail can take longer than the receipt process, sometimes two hours or more depending on circumstances.
Jail Roster vs. Oregon Court Records
Use the Adults in Custody roster for the immediate jail question: whether the person is in custody, when the booking occurred, what charges are listed, whether a scheduled release is recorded and what court case number may be associated with the charge.
Use the Oregon Judicial Department and Clackamas County Circuit Court records for filed court documents, hearings and the official criminal-case history. The Circuit Court provides a court-records process for viewing and requesting files. A jail status such as “dismissed” or “sentenced” should be understood in the context of the full court case when an important legal decision depends on it.
Important Points to Remember
- The current roster is called Adults in Custody.
- Individual records can show scheduled release, bail and court case numbers.
- Different charges in one booking can have different statuses.
- A forced release for capacity reasons does not mean the charges were dismissed.
- Exact cash and photo ID are required when posting cash bail at the jail.
- Jail information is not a substitute for the official court case record.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q. Why does a Clackamas County inmate record show one charge dismissed while the person is still in jail?
A person can have several charges or holds in the same booking. One charge may be dismissed while another remains sentenced, unresolved or otherwise keeps the person in custody.
Q. What does a scheduled release date mean on the Clackamas County roster?
It is a planned release date recorded in the jail system. It should not be treated as an absolute guarantee because another hold, court order or processing issue can affect the actual release.
Q. Can I post cash bail with a debit or credit card at the Clackamas County Jail?
Not for the jail’s cash-bail procedure. The Sheriff’s Office states that exact cash is required and lists credit cards and debit cards among the payment forms not accepted for that transaction.
Q. Does forced release mean the Clackamas County criminal case was dropped?
No. The Sheriff’s Office expressly states that forced release is a jail-capacity management measure and does not dismiss the charges or end the person’s court obligations.
Q. Why should I save the court case number shown in the roster?
The case number can make it easier to locate the related Clackamas County Circuit Court matter and distinguish the formal court case from the jail booking.
Q. What should I do if I am using an old Clackamas roster link?
Use the current Sheriff’s Office Adults in Custody page. The older roster application itself directs users to the newer jail roster service.
