Gooding County Jail Overview
Gooding County Jail operates through the Gooding County Sheriff's Office at 624 Main Street, Gooding, ID 83330. Camas County's planning materials identify Gooding as a place where Camas prisoners are transported and housed, so Gooding belongs in the Camas facility map even though it is a separate county facility. The official Gooding sheriff page documents jail service channels, including video visitation, commissary, PREA information, fingerprinting, and bond-company availability.
Gooding's reviewed official pages do not publish a current jail capacity, a Camas-specific contract, a roster search-field list, a mugshot posting schedule, or a mail-format page. That absence should be handled plainly. Gooding is a receiving-facility fallback and records channel, not a guaranteed online roster source for Camas County searches. Call Camas first when the arrest began in Camas County, then call Gooding to confirm present custody and facility rules.
The official Gooding County sheriff page is the source for jail video visitation, NCIC, commissary, PREA, bonding-company, and sheriff contact information.
Gooding County Jail Capacity and Population
No reviewed official Gooding County source published a jail capacity number or a current inmate population count. Official records confirm that Gooding has jail administration and service channels, and Camas planning language identifies Gooding as a receiving location. Do not treat unsourced commercial jail capacity figures as official.
For a person arrested in Camas County, population and housing status are practical rather than statistical questions. Ask Camas County Sheriff's Office whether the person was transported to Gooding. If yes, ask Gooding jail staff whether the person is currently held, released, in court, in transport, under another agency hold, or moved to IDOC or another facility.
That distinction keeps the Gooding page from overstating the research. Gooding is clearly a jail-service channel because official pages mention jail staff, the jail administrator, PREA, video visitation, commissary, fingerprinting, and bond-company availability. The same reviewed pages did not provide a public Camas contract, daily population table, bed count, or roster fields. Current facility counts should therefore be confirmed with Gooding officials rather than inferred from third-party jail summaries.
How to Look Up an Inmate at Gooding County Jail
The Gooding official pages reviewed did not expose a searched roster or public inmate-profile field set. The safest lookup sequence is a phone-confirmation workflow. That is especially important for Camas County cases because Camas has no local roster and the first question is whether the person was actually sent to Gooding rather than Hailey, released, or transferred elsewhere.
- Call Camas County Sheriff's Office at 208-764-2261 and ask whether Gooding received the person.
- Call Gooding County Sheriff's Office at 208-934-4421 or the sheriff department number at 208-934-4422 for jail-staff routing.
- Ask whether the person is currently held, released, in court, in transport, or under another agency hold.
- Ask which office can provide bond information, public booking facts, visitation access, commissary setup, or a records request path.
If Gooding has no current record, loop back to Camas and ask whether the person was sent to Blaine County Detention Center in Hailey, transferred to IDOC, held on a federal or immigration matter, cited and released, or booked under a different name.
Gooding County Jail Address and Contact
The Gooding County Sheriff's Office page and directory route jail questions through the 624 Main Street sheriff operation. The directory identifies Sheriff Shaun Gough, Chief Deputy Sheriff Jeromy Smith, Jail Administrator Andy Hoffman, and Sheriff Clerical Deputy Shelly Bates, with jail and sheriff phone routing through the published Gooding numbers. The directory also lists fax 208-934-4260.

Visiting Someone at Gooding County Jail
Gooding's official sheriff page documents video visitation through NCIC Inmate Communications. It provides the NCIC help number, 1-844-724-2076, and instructs users to contact jail staff if video visitation is down for an extended period. No Gooding visitation schedule was located in the reviewed official pages, so dates, times, approval steps, account setup, and restrictions should be confirmed before a visit is planned.
| Day | Hours | Type |
|---|---|---|
| Monday | Not located in reviewed official sources | NCIC video visitation |
| Wednesday | Not located in reviewed official sources | NCIC video visitation |
| Friday | Not located in reviewed official sources | NCIC video visitation |
| Saturday | Not located in reviewed official sources | NCIC video visitation |
| Sunday | Not located in reviewed official sources | NCIC video visitation |
When a person was transported from Camas County, also confirm that Gooding is still the current housing location. A move to court, another jail, IDOC, medical care, or release can change visitation eligibility before a visitor account shows the update.
Mail, Phone, and Money at Gooding County Jail
Gooding identifies Summit Correctional Services as the commissary channel. It also identifies NCIC Inmate Communications for video visitation. The reviewed Gooding pages did not publish a jail mail format, deposit fee table, phone-rate schedule, or commissary limit table, so those details should be confirmed with jail staff before sending funds or mail.
| Service | Provider / Detail |
|---|---|
| Mail Address | No official mail format found in reviewed Gooding pages; call before mailing. |
| Phone / Video | NCIC Inmate Communications; help line 1-844-724-2076. |
| Money Deposit | Summit Correctional Services for commissary; fee details not located in reviewed sources. |
| Bonding | Gooding says a list of bonding companies is available at the jail. |
For a Camas County family member, the first money question is whether Gooding is the correct facility. If the person was actually sent to Hailey, IDOC, federal custody, or released, a Gooding commissary account will not solve the custody problem. Ask jail staff whether the person is eligible for commissary, whether any account must be created through Summit, and whether facility rules limit deposits during transport, court movement, medical care, or release processing.
Booking and Intake at Gooding County Jail
Gooding may receive people transported from Camas County when local custody continues outside Fairfield. The booking and intake questions to ask are practical: whether Gooding received the person, whether a booking number exists, what agency is listed as the arresting or transporting agency, whether bond has been set, and whether another agency hold affects release. A Gooding jail record may be the better source for current custody and facility services, while Camas or the arresting agency may remain the source for arrest reports and basic local incident facts.
Gooding also documents PREA policy and reporting. Its official page says Gooding County Jail has policies to ensure administrative or criminal investigations are completed for allegations of sexual abuse or harassment or referred for investigation. That PREA channel is separate from ordinary inmate lookup and should be used for safety or abuse-reporting issues rather than roster questions.
For public records, ask Gooding which record it holds and which record remains with Camas. Booking details, jail housing, release time, and commissary eligibility may sit with Gooding after transport. Arrest reports, local incident facts, or the initial agency referral may stay with the arresting agency.
About Gooding County Jail
Gooding County Jail is documented through service and staff-routing material rather than a full public data page. The staff directory confirms a jail administrator, which gives callers a real administrative channel when general custody information is not enough. The sheriff page confirms core services, including NCIC video visitation, Summit commissary, PREA links, fingerprinting with picture ID, and bonding-company availability at the jail.
The main caution is not to overstate what the official pages show. No reviewed Gooding page published a capacity figure, Camas contract text, roster refresh schedule, or mugshot policy. Use Gooding as the receiving channel only after Camas confirms transport, then rely on Gooding jail staff for live facility rules.
Gooding's PREA material is also facility-specific. It addresses reports of sexual abuse or harassment in custody and says allegations are investigated administratively or criminally or referred for investigation. PREA is not a roster tool, but it is an important jail-conditions channel when the issue is safety inside the facility. Routine inmate lookup, bond, visitation, and commissary questions should still go through the sheriff or jail staff contacts.
Note: Confirm current custody, visit access, commissary setup, and bond instructions with Gooding jail staff before acting.
