The Pend Oreille County Jail is run by the sheriff. The county posts the inmate roster online at pendoreillecounty.org. The roster shows who is in custody right now. Each line has a name, a booking date, and the charge. Some entries link to the court file. The roster updates often. A name may drop off within hours after release.
