Mini-Cassia Federal Hold Paths
Mini-Cassia Criminal Justice Center is the adult county and regional jail in Burley, but its physical address does not identify one legal custodian. The live records can show CASSIA, MINIDOKA, STATE, and COURTESY HOLD types. Research also found federal and immigration-related use. A person can therefore be housed locally for an authority whose case and next destination are outside the county system.
| Hold or case | Correct next system |
|---|---|
| Federal criminal, before sentencing | U.S. Marshals Service and federal court docket |
| Federal sentence | BOP Inmate Locator and Bureau records |
| ICE or Border Patrol hold | ICE Online Detainee Locator and ERO |
| Other Idaho county | Holding county and owning court |
| Idaho felony commitment | IDOC Resident/Client Search |
“Released from Mini-Cassia” should be used only to mean departure from that jail unless the destination is known. A transfer, removal, remand, or agency pickup is not community release. The jail event identifies the checkout. The receiving custodian confirms what happened next.
Confirm Mini-Cassia Hold Departures
The county’s roster is a current-custody display. Recent Bookings records admissions. Neither publishes a public release date, time, reason, destination, or transfer agency. Cassia warns that status changes may lag and directs users to phone or in-person confirmation.
- Save the full name, booking ID, MNI, booked date, case number, inmate type, and holding agency.
- Call Mini-Cassia at (208) 878-1000 and ask whether that booking remains housed.
- If it ended, ask for the departure date, event type, and receiving agency when releasable.
- Use the agency and case prefix to select USMS, BOP, ICE, IDOC, or another county.
- Confirm the next status with the receiving custodian and controlling court.
- Request the narrow booking and release sheet for written proof.
Roster disappearance proves only that a person is no longer displayed there. It does not identify freedom, transfer, or destination.
A stable identifier must cross each system. Keep the local booking ID separate from a BOP register number or ICE A-number. The federal criminal case number connects to the federal court. Mixing identifiers can produce a false match.
Mini-Cassia Federal Hold Contact
Immediate departure questions belong with Mini-Cassia. Ask about one named booking, not a broad list. The jail can confirm present physical status and may identify the release or transfer event. The responsible federal agency controls its later record.
1415 Albion Avenue
Burley, ID 83318
(208) 878-1000
Call for current status and booking departure.
For a written local event, the Cassia Sheriff Records line is (208) 878-1107 at 129 East 14th Street, Burley. The county form lists fax (208) 878-4475. Ask for the booking/release sheet, event date and time, departure type, authorizing authority, and public transfer destination. No fixed jail-record fee or federal-hold release fee is published.
Federal records must go to the federal custodian. USMS controls its prisoner-tracking material. BOP controls Bureau imprisonment records. ICE controls immigration records. The federal court controls its docket. Each may require identity verification or authorization for protected personal information.
USMS After Mini-Cassia Custody
The U.S. Marshals Service manages federal detainee movement and can use contract or local detention beds before sentencing. A person held at Mini-Cassia for a federal criminal matter may leave with USMS for court, another detention site, designation, or another authorized event. A missing county roster entry does not mean the federal case ended.
Use the federal docket to identify the case, detention orders, judgment, and later actions. Then contact the USMS District of Idaho for the proper status channel. The public should not expect a BOP record to cover every federal pretrial movement.
- USMS hold
- Local physical detention under federal criminal authority managed through the Marshals Service.
- Remand
- A court order returning or committing a person to custody.
- Designation
- Assignment within the federal prison system after sentencing.
- Transfer
- Movement between custodians or facilities without proof of community release.
After sentencing, BOP may become the correct public locator. The handoff can take time to appear. Confirm the transition with USMS or the case record before interpreting a blank BOP search.
BOP After Mini-Cassia Sentencing
The BOP Inmate Locator applies to sentenced federal custody. Search by register number when known or by name with age, race, and sex filters. A result may show a release date and “Not in BOP custody.” That phrase is limited to the Bureau and can coexist with another authority’s custody.
BOP does not publish a general mugshot field in the locator inventory. Its release date is not the Mini-Cassia checkout time. Keep both events distinct: the local jail departure can precede Bureau admission, and Bureau departure can lead to another authority.
| BOP result | Safe conclusion |
|---|---|
| Matched institution | BOP reports the person in its system at that location. |
| Future release date | A Bureau date, not a guarantee of the final physical event. |
| Past release date | BOP records departure associated with that date. |
| Not in BOP custody | No current Bureau custody is reported; other custody remains possible. |
| No result | Identity, spelling, data scope, or another custodian may explain it. |
The Federal BOP record page provides the full sentenced-person lookup route. It should not replace USMS or ICE checks.
ICE After Mini-Cassia Release
Mini-Cassia is an ICE-inspected detention site, and its booking data has carried ICE or Border Patrol hold types. A person may be released from the county jail directly into immigration custody. That is a real Cassia-specific custody boundary and must be stated as a transfer until community release is proven.
The official ICE Online Detainee Locator supports A-number and biographical searches. Its recent-release window is limited. A-number search is strongest when the number and country of birth are known. Biographical search depends on exact identity details and can fail because of spelling or data timing.
No ODLS result does not prove that ICE never received the person. It can reflect the limited window, identity mismatch, data delay, or a record outside public display. Ask Mini-Cassia whether ICE or Border Patrol received the booking. Then contact the responsible ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations office.
An immigration detainer is a request connected to immigration custody. It is not itself a criminal conviction or proof of removal. Court, jail, and ICE records describe different parts of the sequence.
Mini-Cassia ICE Inspection Context
Official ICE inspection material documents Mini-Cassia’s detention role. The 2023 ICE inspection report supports the federal and immigration layer at the Burley facility. It does not establish that every person at Mini-Cassia has an immigration case.
The facility’s 2020 PREA audit separately describes a 170-rated-capacity adult site with indirect supervision, male and female adult units, no juveniles, and a work-release block. These historical facility facts do not supply current daily population, federal-bed counts, or a present release schedule. No such figures should be inferred.
Cassia and Minidoka joint justice records also explain why mixed agencies appear on one roster. The proper next custodian follows the hold and case fields. “Mini-Cassia” describes the regional facility arrangement, not one uniform legal case system.
Mini-Cassia Hold Record Requests
A complete custody chain may require several narrow requests. Start with Cassia for the local booking and departure. Seek USMS material for federal detention movement, BOP records for sentenced custody, ICE records for immigration custody, and court documents for legal authority.
| Requested event | Likely custodian |
|---|---|
| Mini-Cassia booking and checkout | Cassia Sheriff jail-record custodian |
| Federal pretrial movement | USMS |
| Federal sentence and orders | Federal court |
| BOP admission or release | BOP |
| Immigration detention or transfer | ICE |
Federal FOIA processes can require proof of identity or authorization. Exemptions can protect law-enforcement, privacy, security, and personal information. Ask for a specific event, identifier, and date range. A broad request to Cassia cannot compel it to produce another agency’s records.
The Cassia County release search connects adult local, state, and federal systems. For Mini-Cassia federal holds, the decisive question remains: which authority had custody next?
