Tribal Corrections Release Authority
Shoshone-Bannock Tribes Corrections operates as a separate tribal juvenile and adult corrections system. Its records and court authority are not interchangeable with Bingham County records. The Bingham County Sheriff’s roster is therefore the wrong place to confirm a person’s current tribal custody or final release from the tribal system.
Where custody began still matters. If a Bingham detainee moved to Tribal Corrections, request Bingham’s outgoing disposition and destination agency. Then ask Tribal Corrections whether it accepted the person, still holds the person, released the person to the community, or transferred the person elsewhere. Tribal court records can explain the legal basis, subject to tribal access rules.
Confirm Tribal Corrections Release
Use the official Shoshone-Bannock Tribes Corrections page to locate current tribal contact information. Provide the full legal name and any known identifying information, but expect the agency to limit disclosure where law or policy requires it. Because the system serves juveniles as well as adults, some information may be especially restricted.
Determine whether the inquiry concerns tribal, Bingham County, another county, or IDOC custody.
Contact Tribal Corrections through its official channel.
Do not treat a missing name or unavailable answer as proof of release.
Seek the order or disposition that explains the custody action.
VINE may be useful only when the specific custodial agency participates and the person’s record is available. It does not override tribal records. IDOC’s Resident/Client Search covers Idaho state correctional jurisdiction and felony supervision, not the tribal system as such.
Tribal Release Record Boundaries
A useful inquiry asks for the custody event without presuming which information is public. Relevant items can include an intake identifier, custody start, release date and time, release disposition, court authority, and destination agency if transferred. These are requested fields, not a promise that Tribal Corrections publishes or will disclose each one.
| Source | Question it answers |
|---|---|
| Tribal Corrections | Tribal custody, release, or later transfer |
| Tribal court | Legal order or disposition behind the event |
| Bingham Detention | Earlier county booking and outgoing destination |
| IDOC | Later state custody or felony supervision, if applicable |
No research source established a tribal public roster cadence, online archive, release-feed window, standard release hour, fee, or retention period. Those facts should not be invented from county or state practice. Ask the tribal office what process applies to the particular record.
Bingham to Tribal Transfer
When Bingham custody came first, call Inmate Information at 208-782-3057 and ask whether the person was released to the community or transported. Booking is 208-782-3055, Command is 208-782-3076, and Records is 208-782-3082. The outgoing booking and custody record may identify the receiving agency and handoff time.
The Bingham record should not be used to declare what happened after tribal acceptance. Likewise, a tribal status does not rewrite the earlier county event. Keeping the two records in sequence avoids calling a transfer a release. The Bingham County released inmate search provides the broader county record-request steps.
Request Bingham Transfer Records
The joint Blackfoot Police and Bingham Sheriff Evidence and Records unit accepts requests through NextRequest. The county form may be emailed to peckhardt@binghamid.gov, faxed to 208-785-4131, or mailed to 501 N. Maple #205, Blackfoot, ID 83221-1700. Ask for the booking number, custody-change timestamp, disposition, destination agency, transport entry, charge number, and case number.
The form says a representative will contact the requester within three working days under Idaho Code § 74-103(1). It does not promise that all records will be produced by then. Redaction or an exemption may apply. For the tribal portion, contact Tribal Corrections or the tribal court and follow their own access process rather than sending the county form.
Tribal and State Custody
A later transfer to IDOC changes the lookup route again. Use IDOC’s Resident/Client Search only after a state commitment or supervision link is established. Its Status, facility or office, Released to Supervision, and Sentence Satisfaction Date fields describe Idaho correctional jurisdiction. They do not serve as a general tribal release database.
The same boundary applies to county probation. Bingham County Probation states that it is not felony probation and parole. A tribal court order, state felony order, and county order may route supervision differently. Read the controlling order and ask the named agency instead of assuming one office covers all post-custody matters.
Tribal Corrections Contact Route
The facility map confirms the system’s adult and juvenile corrections role but does not provide a verified street address, direct telephone number, business hours, or release desk schedule. Current information must come from the official Shoshone-Bannock Tribes site. This avoids importing Bingham County or IDOC contact details into a sovereign tribal system.

When contacting the office, state the purpose as custody or release verification and ask which formal record route applies. Juvenile status, sealed information, and other restrictions may narrow what can be confirmed publicly.
Record the date and channel used for each inquiry. Note whether the response concerns current custody, a past release, a transfer, or a court record. A current-status answer may not include a past gate time, while a court disposition may not show the physical handoff. Keep those events distinct.
If an office cannot disclose a detail, do not turn that limit into a conclusion. Juvenile restrictions, sealed material, or policy may narrow a response. Ask whether a formal process exists and what identification it requires. For a path across jurisdictions, keep one timeline. Confirm each handoff with the agency that made it, preserving the difference between transfer, community release, supervision, and final discharge.
Tribal Release Verification Timeline
Record the date and channel used for each official inquiry. Label the answer as current custody, past release, transfer, or court action. These terms are not interchangeable. A current-status answer may not include a past gate time. A tribal court disposition may explain the legal authority without recording the physical handoff. Keeping the labels intact makes the remaining question clear.
If Tribal Corrections cannot disclose a detail, do not turn that limit into a factual conclusion. Juvenile restrictions, sealed material, or agency policy can narrow a response. Ask whether a formal record process exists, which office handles it, and what identification the office requires. The Bingham county request form and Idaho state correction procedures do not automatically govern tribal records. Follow the process stated by the tribal office.
For a path across jurisdictions, keep one timeline. A Bingham outgoing custody record, tribal acceptance, tribal court action, and later IDOC entry may all be valid without describing the same event. Confirm each handoff with the agency that made it. If IDOC later appears, read its state Status and supervision fields only for that later state phase. This sequence preserves the difference between transfer, release to the community, supervision, and final discharge.
