Fort Hall Police Department / Tribal Jail Overview
The research file found a material source gap for Fort Hall Police Department / Tribal Jail: a stable official tribal police or jail page could not be fully opened during the research pass. The facility should therefore be described cautiously as tribal police holding or tribal jail custody connected to the Shoshone-Bannock Tribes, not as a Bingham County Sheriff's Office facility.
People arrested or detained around Fort Hall may fall under tribal, county, state, federal, or immigration pathways depending on the person, offense, arresting agency, court process, and transfer status. A Fort Hall-related arrest should not be assumed to appear in the Bingham County Jail workflow unless the Bingham County Sheriff's Office confirms county custody.
Fort Hall Police Department / Tribal Jail Capacity and Population
No official capacity, daily population, staffing count, average daily population, annual booking number, or demographic report for Fort Hall Police Department / Tribal Jail was located in the official sources available during research. Because the available address and phone details were not confirmed through a stable official facility page, capacity and schedule details should be verified directly with the Shoshone-Bannock Tribes before being relied on.
How to Look Up an Inmate at Fort Hall Police Department / Tribal Jail
Start by contacting Fort Hall tribal police or public safety directly. The Bingham County jail roster path was unavailable during research, and the county jail is not the only possible custody path for Fort Hall matters. If tribal police do not confirm custody, check Bingham County Jail for local county custody, the IDOC Resident/Client Search for state correctional jurisdiction, the BOP Inmate Locator for federal sentenced custody, and ICE detainee resources for immigration detention.
Ask the tribal agency whether the person is being held, was cited and released, was transferred, or is in another jurisdiction's custody. If a transfer occurred, ask for the receiving agency and any case, booking, or court number that can help the next office locate the record. That information matters because a Fort Hall-related detention may move through more than one sovereign system.
- Call the Fort Hall police or tribal public safety number and ask whether the person is currently held or was transferred.
- Ask which agency has custody and which court or charging authority is involved.
- If custody is not tribal, call Bingham County Detention Inmate Information at (208) 782-3057 for local county custody.
- Cross-check IDOC, BOP, and ICE when state, federal, immigration, or transfer custody may apply.
Fort Hall Police Department / Tribal Jail Address and Contact
The research file located PO Box 400, Fort Hall, ID 83203 and phone leads of 208-238-4000 and 208-238-4013, but those details should be treated as leads to verify directly with the Shoshone-Bannock Tribes. Do not rely on them as a confirmed jail capacity, schedule, or records-office route without tribal confirmation.
When calling, keep the question narrow: current custody, transfer status, visit eligibility, records route, and whether another agency should be contacted. If tribal police direct the caller to Bingham County, use the Bingham County detention inmate information line. If they direct the caller to state or federal custody, use the statewide IDOC locator, BOP locator, or ICE resources rather than the county jail page.

Mail, Phone, and Money at Fort Hall Police Department / Tribal Jail
Official mail format, resident phone access, commissary rules, money-deposit options, vendor names, and fees were not located in the official sources available during research.

Booking and Intake at Fort Hall Police Department / Tribal Jail
Official booking and intake procedures for Fort Hall Police Department / Tribal Jail were not located. The safest custody explanation is jurisdictional: a Fort Hall-area detention may begin with tribal police, but the person may later be released, held tribally, transferred to Bingham County Jail on county charges, moved into federal process, or appear in another system. Ask the tribal agency which office controls custody and whether a public record, court case, or transfer number exists.
Do not treat a missing Bingham County jail result as proof that the person was not detained. The county jail covers adults booked on Bingham County charges, while tribal, federal, state correctional, or immigration systems can hold different pieces of the custody picture. For court-charge details after a county booking, use Idaho iCourt or the Bingham County court request process. For federal or immigration matters, use the federal locator and ICE resources named in the research rather than commercial jail-directory pages.
About Fort Hall Police Department / Tribal Jail
Fort Hall custody questions sit at the intersection of tribal public safety and surrounding county, state, federal, and immigration systems. Research did not locate a stable official page publishing jail capacity, staffing, visitation, commissary, or roster details, so the page should avoid invented schedules and numbers. For a Bingham County case, use the county jail phone line only after confirming the person was placed in county custody or booked on local Bingham County charges.
The Fort Hall page therefore functions differently from the Bingham County Jail and PWCC pages. It is mainly a verification and routing page: call tribal public safety, determine whether custody is tribal or transferred, and then use the correct official system. That approach preserves the source gap instead of filling it with unsupported facility claims.
Note: Verify custody and any visit, mail, or payment rule directly with the Shoshone-Bannock Tribes before acting.
