This is a private reference service, not a government office. It cannot confirm custody, release anyone, post bond, or obtain an official booking record. Contact the office that controls the record for those services.
Choose the Record Holder
Columbia County's closed jail makes the agency distinction important. Columbia County Sheriff holds local enforcement material, while Walla Walla County Corrections controls receiving-jail custody. Courts hold filed-case material. Start with the record type, then use the appropriate verified contact.
