Understanding Cassia County Releases
A release is an event tied to one booking and one custodian. It is not merely a missing name. The Mini-Cassia Criminal Justice Center removes people from its current roster after they leave its displayed population, but the public roster does not preserve a released-status row. The person may have entered the community, moved to an Idaho Department of Correction facility, returned to another county, or entered federal or immigration custody. The jail's event record and the legal order behind it identify which result occurred.
Mini-Cassia is a regional facility. Its roster can show Cassia, Minidoka, state, and courtesy-hold classifications, as well as different agencies and case prefixes. A person housed in Burley is not always held on a Cassia case. That detail controls which court owns the order and which agency can confirm the next step. A sound lookup follows the booking ID, case number, holding agency, and next custodian instead of treating the building address as proof of jurisdiction.
Cassia County Release Paths
The release label must match the official event. A bond entry does not decide the case, and a displayed zero-dollar bond can have several meanings. Cassia's Public Defender information warns that it may reflect a no-bond hold, service of a sentence, or another count with the operative bond. A dismissal in one case also does not cancel another hold. These distinctions explain why a court entry and jail event record work best as a pair.
| Path | Meaning | Next record |
|---|---|---|
| Bond or own recognizance | The court permits community release under stated terms. | Jail release sheet and court order |
| Time served or sentence completion | The custodial term identified by the court has ended. | Release event, judgment, and docket |
| State transfer | The person leaves Mini-Cassia for IDOC custody. | IDOC Resident/Client Search |
| Parole or probation | The person is in the community under a court or Commission order. | IDOC or county supervision record |
| Federal or immigration handoff | A federal authority becomes the next custodian. | USMS, BOP, ICE, or federal court record |
“Left the Cassia jail” is the careful description until the destination is known. Community release and transfer are both roster exits, but only one means the person was free of physical custody at that point.
Cassia County Release Record Fields
A useful release record connects the departure to the earlier booking. Cassia's public roster shows many admission and current-custody facts but omits the release date, time, type, and destination. Request those event fields from the custodian rather than assuming every field is public or stored in the same form. Redaction may limit personal, security, investigative, or otherwise exempt material.
| Field | What it establishes |
|---|---|
| Name and limited identifiers | The person tied to the event |
| Booking ID or MNI | The specific jail episode |
| Booked date and time | When the custody episode began |
| Agency, case, and charge | The authority behind the hold |
| Release date and time | When this custodian ended custody |
| Release type or disposition | Bond, order, sentence completion, or other basis |
| Releasing authority | The court or agency authorizing the movement |
| Destination or receiving agency | Community release or the next custodian, if public |
The court docket answers a related but distinct question. It can show the order, judgment, dismissal, sentence, or later case event. It may not show the exact moment a person walked out. Pair the docket with the jail's release entry when the precise physical-custody event matters.
Request Cassia County Release Records
Cassia County publishes a Public Record Request form. A narrow request for one known booking is easier to identify than a broad demand for all jail material. Include enough detail to prevent a mistaken match, but do not add unrelated personal data.
- Collect the full name, booking date, booking ID or MNI, case number, and holding agency when known.
- Ask for the booking and release sheet, release date and time, release type, authorizing authority, public transfer destination, and booking photograph if needed.
- Select inspection or copies and give the requested contact and delivery details on the county form.
- Send the request to the Cassia Sheriff's records custodian. Ask for redaction instead of full withholding when public and exempt facts are mixed.
- Review the response beside the court order and any receiving-custodian result.
129 East 14th Street, Burley, ID 83318
Records: (208) 878-1107
Jail confirmation: (208) 878-1000
Records fax: (208) 878-4475
No fixed Cassia booking-photo or jail-record price was published in the research. Idaho's public-record framework generally gives resident requests the first two labor hours and 100 pages without charge, then permits allowable costs. Ask for a written estimate before copies are made. No public Cassia release-record retention schedule was found, so an older event should be pursued through both the jail custodian and its court case.
Cassia County Record Access Rules
Idaho Code Title 74, Chapter 1 governs executive-agency public records. A governmental booking photograph and jail event record can be request candidates, yet law-enforcement, privacy, and security exemptions may require redaction or withholding. Court files follow Idaho Court Administrative Rule 32 instead. That separate rule matters when the jail event and the judicial order are requested from different custodians.
Juvenile material is outside this adult site and has separate confidentiality rules. Sealed or shielded court content may also be unavailable to the public. Idaho Clean Slate shielding generally requires at least five years after the whole sentence is complete, including supervision, fines, and restitution. Shielding limits public court access; it does not destroy every agency record. Idaho State Police has a separate, limited arrest-history expungement path. The two remedies should not be treated as interchangeable.
Cassia Release Orders and Courts
Cassia's court counter is in the Judicial Center at 1559 Overland Avenue, not the County Courthouse at 1459 Overland. The distinction prevents a common routing error. Use Idaho iCourt Smart Search to locate the case and register of actions. Cassia criminal cases often use a CR16 prefix. A Mini-Cassia roster entry can instead carry CR34 or another jurisdiction's case because the regional jail serves several authorities.
Follow the case prefix and listed agency. A Minidoka or other-agency matter belongs with its owning court even though the person slept in the Burley jail. A signed order may authorize release, but another case, detainer, or hold can prevent community departure. The jail event remains the best record of when custody at Mini-Cassia actually ended.
Find Released Cassia County Inmates
Begin with stable identifiers. Full name, birth year, booking date, BID, MNI, case number, IDOC number, BOP number, or A-number can separate similar records. Then follow the custodian that held the person and the agency shown on the case.
- Check the current jail roster. A match means the person is displayed as housed, subject to the county's lag warning.
- Check Recent Bookings to confirm an admission. It is not a release list and has no release event fields.
- Call Mini-Cassia at (208) 878-1000. Ask whether that booking ended through community release or transfer, and request the event date and type.
- Use the case number in iCourt to locate the order or disposition. Follow another county's prefix to that county's court.
- Search IDOC, BOP, ICE, or the relevant receiving agency when the jail reports a transfer.
- Request the booking/release sheet when written proof is needed.
IDOC Search for Cassia Releases
The IDOC Resident/Client Search covers people in state custody and on felony probation or parole. Search by last and first name or IDOC number. The interface accepts at least two letters of a last name for a partial search or at least three digits of the IDOC number. Compare the birth year before opening a detail page.
| Public field | How to read it |
|---|---|
| In custody | Currently shown under an IDOC custody record; read the location. |
| In community | Shown under probation or parole supervision; inspect the sentence row. |
| Discharged with date | The IDOC sentence has ended; old conviction detail may no longer display. |
| Released to Supervision | Most recent placement on court or Commission supervision, not every jail exit. |
| Sentence Satisfaction Date | The listed sentence endpoint, not a promised walk-out date. |
| Parole Eligibility Date | When consideration becomes available, not an approved release. |
IDOC does not label a generic public field “Projected Release Date.” A Tentative Parole Date appears in Commission decisions after some grants. Keep each date's label and case row intact. The database updates daily but can lag, so the named institution, District 5 office, or Commission record should confirm time-sensitive facts.
The official search interface shows the fields available for a state record.
The IDOC search is the right bridge for a Cassia felony case that entered state custody, but it does not prove an ordinary county-only bond release.
Cassia County Recent Release Limits
Cassia publishes Outstanding Warrants, Recent Bookings, and Jail Roster choices. It does not publish a release-labeled 24-hour, 72-hour, or general recent-release feed. The roster and bookings data show admission, identity, photo, charge, case, agency, and bond facts. Neither contains a release date, time, reason, or destination. Older wording that the database updates every 24 hours describes refresh cadence, not a list of people freed in the preceding day.
The county now says the display updates frequently and warns that recent changes may not appear. Direct phone or in-person confirmation controls. For a same-day event, preserve the booking ID and case while visible, call the jail, read the authorizing court entry, then request the release sheet. The Cassia County 24-Hour Releases page gives the precise fallback workflow for that time window.
Cassia County Supervision After Release
Felony and misdemeanor supervision use separate offices. IDOC District 5 handles state felony probation and parole through its Burley satellite and main Twin Falls office. The IDOC detail record may show “In community,” the supervision type, a released-to-supervision date, district, and officer. Call the displayed office when current status matters because the public database can lag.
Mini-Cassia Adult Misdemeanor Probation handles county probation, pretrial supervision, compliance, electronic monitoring, testing, and related local programs ordered by the court. It is not a jail and cannot prove the physical release event. Parole is conditional community release while legal custody remains under the Commission's order. Probation is a court-ordered supervision status and need not follow a prison term.
ICE Holds After Cassia Release
Mini-Cassia has been inspected as an ICE detention site, and its booking data has included ICE and Border Patrol hold types. A person may leave county-jail custody directly into immigration custody. That is an agency handoff, not proof of community release. Use the ICE Online Detainee Locator with an A-number and country of birth or a biographical search, then contact the responsible immigration office when no result appears.
ICE's locator has a limited recent-release window. A missing result can therefore reflect timing, spelling, or coverage. A federal pretrial detainee may instead be under the U.S. Marshals Service and have no useful BOP result yet. A sentenced federal prisoner belongs in the BOP locator. Always match the system to the stage and custodian.
Cassia Release Alerts and Locators
Idaho VINELink provides phone, text, and email notifications based on participating agency data. Register against the matching county booking for Mini-Cassia movement. An IDOC registration follows the state record, and a transfer may require a fresh search and registration. VINE is free and useful for notice, but an alert is not a certified release sheet. Confirm whether it describes community release, transfer, or another status change.
The BOP locator covers federal inmates from 1982 onward and can show a release date with “Not in BOP custody.” That phrase is custodian-specific and may include movement to another authority. ICE ODLS and the U.S. Marshals Service cover different federal stages. The Idaho registry applies only to people with a statutory registration duty; absence there says nothing about an ordinary release.
Cassia Release Records After Shielding
Idaho Clean Slate shielding starts only after the full sentence is complete and the statutory waiting period and eligibility rules are met. Completion includes probation, parole, fines, and restitution, not just release from the jail door. A successful petition shields public court access rather than destroying the record. Authorized users and separate agency systems may retain information under their own laws.
ISP's limited arrest-history expungement route is distinct. It does not erase federal or other-state data. A person researching an older Cassia event should not assume that the absence of a public docket, roster entry, or IDOC conviction narrative proves the event never existed.
Compare Cassia Custody Records
Each official system answers a narrow question. Use the following map before drawing a conclusion from an absent name.
| System | Best use | Important limit |
|---|---|---|
| Cassia jail roster | People currently displayed as housed | No released status or event archive |
| Recent Bookings | Recent admissions and booking photos | Not a release list |
| Jail release sheet | Exact Mini-Cassia departure event | Must be requested |
| iCourt | Order, judgment, and disposition | May not show the physical exit time |
| IDOC search | State custody, supervision, and discharge | Not an ordinary county-only release source |
| BOP or ICE locator | Custodian-specific federal status | Leaving one system may mean transfer |
