Kiesel Facility Program and Inmate Lookup

Kiesel Facility Overview

Kiesel Facility is operated by the Weber County Sheriff's Office Corrections Division at 370 26th Street in Ogden. The county presents Kiesel separately from the main Weber County Correctional Facility. Its role is community corrections and alternative sentencing, including work release, community service, work detail, and weekenders. It is not a state prison and should not be described as the county's main secure jail.

The facility matters because some Weber County court-involved people may be serving a sentence or program obligation through Kiesel rather than being housed in regular secure jail housing at 721 W 12th Street. The public records approach therefore needs more care than a normal jail search. The county roster is useful if secure custody is possible, but it may not answer every work-release or community-service question.

The official Weber County Kiesel page identifies the facility as the local source for work release and community service program information.

That county page is the best source for the facility's program role because the main jail roster is built around current secure custody, not every alternative-sentence reporting obligation.

Kiesel Facility Capacity and Program Population

No separate official bed count for Kiesel Facility was located in the research. Weber County's public corrections materials connect Kiesel to work release, community service, weekenders, and work detail rather than publishing a jail-style capacity table. Because of that gap, the page should not estimate beds, average daily population, or utilization for Kiesel.

How to Look Up Someone Connected to Kiesel Facility

Start with the custody question. If the person may be in secure Weber County jail custody, use the Weber County current inmate roster. If the question is about reporting, work release, community service credit, weekend service, or program eligibility, contact Kiesel Facility or the sentencing court. If the person is under Utah Adult Probation and Parole rather than a county program, use the Utah Department of Corrections offender search or the appropriate AP&P channel.

1. Search the county roster only if the person may be physically held in Weber County secure custody.
2. Use last name first, then first name, and open Details if a roster match appears.
3. If no secure-custody match appears, call Kiesel Facility at 801-399-8427 for program-specific reporting or schedule questions.
4. Check the sentencing court when the issue is a court order, community-service hours, weekend commitment, or alternative-sentence eligibility.
5. Use UDC offender search if the person is supervised through state probation, parole, or a state placement rather than Kiesel.

Kiesel Facility Address and Contact

Use the facility phone for program reporting questions, work-release instructions, community-service details, and weekend service questions. Use the main jail number only when the person may be in secure custody or when booking, bail, or release status is tied to the 12th Street correctional facility. For records that are not answered by either live contact, use the Weber County Sheriff's Office records and GRAMA route.

Visiting or Reporting at Kiesel Facility

The research did not locate a jail-style public visiting schedule for Kiesel Facility. That is consistent with its program role. Do not assume the main jail video visitation schedule applies to every Kiesel participant. People assigned to work release, community service, weekend service, or work detail should follow the reporting instructions from Kiesel staff and the sentencing court.

Mail, Phone, and Money for Kiesel Facility Participants

The official research does not document a separate Kiesel mail address, separate phone vendor, or separate commissary deposit system. Because Kiesel is not ordinary secure jail housing, the safest rule is to avoid applying main jail mail, phone, and commissary practices to every Kiesel program. When the person is actually housed at Weber County Correctional Facility, use the main jail's inmate services page for mail, phones, commissary, and InmateCanteen deposits.

Admission, Work Release, and Community Service at Kiesel

Kiesel intake is not the same as street-arrest booking at the main jail. A new arrest in Weber County is handled through Weber County Correctional Facility, where booking staff process identity, property, charges, holds, classification, and possible release. Kiesel placement is tied to court-ordered alternative custody or program participation after a person has been approved for that kind of service.

The county page identifies current Kiesel placements as community service inmates, work release inmates, and weekenders. Community service assignments can support public facilities such as Weber County Property Management, Ogden City, Weber County Fairgrounds, Weber County Transfer Station, Weber County Animal Shelter, and the Weber County Sheriff's Complex. Those assignments explain why a person may have a Weber County sentence or court obligation without being listed as a normal jail housing resident.

Kiesel Facility History and Sibling Facility Distinctions

The county's official Kiesel history says the Kiesel Avenue facility was built in 1983 to replace the old jail located on top of the City/County building. An addition was built in 1990 to accommodate more inmates. In August 2000, inmates were transferred to the 12th Street facility. After that transfer, Kiesel was reconfigured as a work-release and community-service facility.

That history is the reason facility labels matter in Weber County. Weber County Correctional Facility is the main 888-bed county jail, current roster, booking, bail, release, visiting, mail, phone, and commissary facility. Kiesel is the county alternative-sentence site. Northern Utah Community Correctional Center is a state UDC/AP&P residential reentry facility and uses state rules and state search tools.

Formal charges and court orders are separate from the facility assignment. The jail roster may show a booking charge, but the sentencing court controls alternative-sentence orders. For court case records after an arrest, use Utah Courts Xchange or MyCase as documented in the research, and for sheriff-held records not online, use the county records bureau and Utah GRAMA process.

Kiesel also connects to local public-service work in a way the main jail does not. The research names assignments tied to Weber County Property Management, Ogden City, the Weber County Fairgrounds, the Weber County Transfer Station, the Weber County Animal Shelter, and the Weber County Sheriff's Complex. Those assignments are useful context for a family member who hears that a person is "at Kiesel" but cannot find a normal jail housing record.

The same distinction affects records requests. A roster profile may answer whether someone is in secure county custody, but it may not document community-service hours, work-release reporting terms, or weekend service compliance. Those details can depend on the court order, program staff records, and sheriff records classifications under GRAMA. A narrow request should identify the program record sought instead of asking for a broad jail file.
