Dale G. Haile Detention Center Inmate Lookup

Dale G. Haile Detention Center Overview

The Dale G. Haile Detention Center is operated by the Canyon County Sheriff's Office at 219 N. 12th Ave. in Caldwell. County materials describe it as the main adult detention center for pretrial detainees, sentenced county jail inmates, work-release inmates, court transports, holds, and other detention-alternative participants when they are shown in county custody systems.

The county current jail facilities page says the building was built in 1991 and officially opened in 1993. It contains minimum, medium, maximum, disciplinary, protective custody, booking, and special-management housing. The same county source lists 321 beds, including 40 work-release beds and 34 special-management units used largely for booking and close management.

The county's facility summary is the best source for how Dale Haile fits into the larger jail campus. The Canyon County current jail facilities page shows Dale Haile beside the Annex and Tent Facility rather than treating the county jail as a single building.

That facility list explains why a roster result may be tied to the Canyon County jail system even when the person's housing assignment is not obvious to the public.

Dale G. Haile Detention Center Capacity and Population

Research from the Canyon County current jail facilities page, accessed June 8, 2026, lists Dale Haile at 321 beds with a county target population of 256. The same source identifies 40 work-release beds and 34 special-management or booking units. Countywide jail statistics from an indexed official summary for October 17, 2025 listed 474 people in jail against a 523 in-jail maximum capacity, or 90.63 percent, plus a grand total of 485 when outside categories were counted.

The capacity numbers matter because Canyon County's jail population is spread across Dale Haile, the Jail Annex, and Tent Facility Pod 5. A public inmate record may not explain every housing movement, but the overall system is shaped by classification pressure, work-release space, and special-management needs.

How to Look Up an Inmate at Dale G. Haile Detention Center

Use the official Canyon County Jail Roster for adult county jail custody at Dale Haile. The roster is the right starting point for pretrial detainees, short county sentences, and local holds. The Current Arrests page is useful for recent bookings, including arrest date, arresting agency, charge count, charge rows, mugshot thumbnails, and VINE status links. Filed court charges are checked separately through Idaho iCourt.

1. Open the Canyon County Jail Roster or the Current Arrests page.
2. Search the roster by name, or use the alphabet links when spelling is uncertain.
3. Confirm that the person is in Canyon County adult jail custody, not IDOC, federal, immigration, or juvenile custody.
4. Use iCourt for filed charges and call 208-454-7541 when current custody status needs direct confirmation.

The official Canyon County Jail Roster shows the public name-search form and roster notice for county jail records.

If a person has been sentenced to state custody or moved to a state placement, search the IDOC Resident/Client Search instead of continuing to rely on the county roster.

Dale G. Haile Detention Center Address and Contact

The detention center phone is the main contact for facility questions, while the inmate status line is the better fallback when an online roster result is unclear. The sheriff administration office is nearby at 1115 Albany St., Room 137, but legal mail for inmates uses the jail address below.

Visiting Someone at Dale G. Haile Detention Center

Canyon County social visitation is video-only through CTel/InmateSales. Inmates receive 60 free minutes per week, and remote video visits cost $0.20 per minute. Visits must be scheduled at least two hours ahead, and the county says inmates are responsible for communicating available times. Visits are monitored and recorded, and access can be denied for discipline, lockdown, or operational needs.

Mail, Phone, and Money at Dale G. Haile Detention Center

Effective January 29, 2024, standard non-legal mail for Canyon County Jail is scanned and delivered electronically through the Kentucky mail-processing address. Legal mail still goes to 219 N. 12th Ave. Mail must include the inmate's full name and inmate ID, a return address, and paper that can feed through a sheet-fed scanner. Money deposits use JailATM or the lobby kiosk; the county no longer accepts inmate money by cash or money order.

Booking and Intake at Dale G. Haile Detention Center

Booking at Dale Haile includes intake, identification, records checks, and classification. Canyon County's classifications unit uses interviews and records checks to decide suitable housing, which may place a person in minimum, medium, maximum, protective, disciplinary, work-release, or special-management settings. The roster may show booking and charge information before a prosecutor has filed final charges, so court records and custody records should be read together.

About Dale G. Haile Detention Center

Dale Haile is central to Canyon County's overcrowding and facility-planning history. County sources describe a jail system that also relies on the 1948 Annex and 2006 Tent Facility Pod 5. Programs and services include the Sheriff's Inmate Labor Detail, detention alternatives, medical services, PREA reporting, video visitation, scanned mail, and commissary. The county reported about 28,248 SILD man-hours in 2023, tied to public and nonprofit work sites such as the landfill, animal shelter, county maintenance, O'Connor Field House, schools, and parks.

The facility also sits close to the county court process. Courts and Transports deputies move inmates to court appearances, but transport days and times are not released to the public for security. For hearing information, the detention FAQ routes people to the Canyon County Clerk rather than to a housing officer. That division helps explain why the jail roster, the status line, and iCourt each answer a different part of the same custody question.
