San Juan Jail Mugshots Overview
San Juan County does not publish an official local mugshot gallery for the San Juan County Holding Facility. The Holding Facility page explains local temporary custody and transfer practice, but the research did not locate a county page that posts booking photos for people held in Friday Harbor. If a person remains in custody after local booking, San Juan County sends the person to South Correctional Entity, or SCORE, which is the regional jail serving San Juan County transfers.
SCORE has public roster tools, but the inspected roster, recent-bookings, recent-releases, and search text did not confirm a public mugshot field. SCORE's home page says a profile view may provide offense and bail information when a user clicks a View button next to an inmate name number. The accessible capture, however, confirmed list data rather than booking photos. That means San Juan County jail mugshots should not be promised online unless a live SCORE profile actually shows a photo for the person being checked.
Public and not public: Public SCORE list data can confirm roster facts such as name, booking number, booking time, status, scheduled release, and VINE access. A public San Juan County mugshot gallery was not found, and booking-photo release depends on jail confidentiality rules, exemptions, privacy, and agency review.
San Juan Roster Photo Sources
The best first check is the SCORE roster because San Juan County uses SCORE after the local holding stage. SCORE's current roster shows list data for people in custody, including identifiers and release fields. The image below is roster data, not a confirmed mugshot display.
The roster view is still useful because it gives the name number and booking number that can make a later public-records request more precise.
SCORE's recent bookings feed is another custody list, with last-24-hour entries and similar roster fields. It should be read as a recent booking list, not as proof that public San Juan County jail mugshots are displayed.
When a person does not appear in a SCORE list, the person may have been released locally, held too recently for transfer, listed under a different spelling, or not in SCORE custody.
San Juan Booking Photo Fields
SCORE list pages confirmed several roster fields. They did not confirm a public booking-photo field in the captured text. That distinction matters because many users use the word mugshot to mean any booking record, while Washington jail records may publish or withhold different parts of the file.
| Roster Field | What It Shows | Photo Status |
|---|---|---|
| Name Number | Numeric SCORE person identifier used on roster and related jail services. | Confirmed list field. |
| Booking Number | Booking event identifier, such as a year-number format. | Confirmed list field. |
| Name | Last, first, and middle name shown separately. | Confirmed list field. |
| Booking Date/Time | The date and time the person was booked into SCORE. | Confirmed list field. |
| Date Released or Status | Either a release date and time or an in-custody status. | Confirmed list field. |
| Scheduled Release Date | A specific future date and time or a to-be-determined entry. | Confirmed list field. |
| VINE Link | Direct custody-notification registration link. | Confirmed list field. |
| Mugshot or Booking Photo | No San Juan County holding page confirms online photos, and the captured SCORE list text did not expose a photo field. | Unconfirmed online. |
Request San Juan Booking Photos
When no public photo appears in SCORE, the next route is a public-disclosure request. For a SCORE-held person, use the SCORE public records process. For a person held only by San Juan County before release or transfer, start with the San Juan County Sheriff's public-records path for local case or booking-related records. Be specific and avoid asking for a whole jail file when only a booking photo is needed.
- Check the SCORE current roster and recent bookings first. Record the full name, name number, booking number, and booking date if shown.
- Open any available profile view in the live SCORE system. Do not assume a mugshot exists online unless the profile actually displays one.
- For SCORE custody, submit a public-disclosure request to SCORE in person, by phone, by fax, or by email at PublicRecords@SCOREJailWA.gov.
- For local-only San Juan County custody, use the San Juan County Sheriff's public-records request path for sheriff records.
- Ask for the booking photo or booking image tied to the named person and booking date. Include the identifier if the SCORE roster provides one.
- Wait for the agency response. SCORE says it responds within five business days by providing records, denying records, seeking clarification, or giving a reasonable review date.
SCORE states there is no charge to inspect records. Copying may be 15 cents per page. A booking photo is not the same thing as a court filing, so court-file images and charge documents must be requested from the court or clerk rather than through jail public disclosure.
San Juan Mugshot Access Law
Washington law does not make every jail file public. SCORE's public-records page cites RCW 70.48.100, the jail register and jail-record disclosure statute. The statute limits public jail-record disclosure to narrow information such as arrestee name, booking and release times, and booking and release reasons. That limit is why San Juan County jail mugshots cannot be treated as automatically posted public images.
Statute callout: RCW 70.48.100 makes jail records confidential except for limited jail-register information. Booking photos may be requested, but release depends on the Public Records Act, the jail statute, law-enforcement exemptions, privacy concerns, and agency review.
The broader Washington Public Records Act requires agencies to provide nonexempt public records for inspection and copying. It does not override every jail-record restriction. RCW 42.56.120 also allows authorized copy and production charges, while inspection itself may not be charged as a records-copy fee.
San Juan Mugshot Limits
No official source found in the research confirms that San Juan County publishes local booking photos online. No official source confirmed a public retention period for San Juan County jail mugshots after release. No official source confirmed a historical online archive of prior booking photos. Those gaps are important because a third-party image found elsewhere may be incomplete, old, wrongly matched, or taken from a source that does not control the official record.
- Do not treat the San Juan County Holding Facility page as a mugshot gallery.
- Do not treat a SCORE roster entry as proof that a public booking photo is visible.
- Do not assume a photo remains online after release.
- Do not use commercial mugshot or pay-to-remove sites as official sources.
- Do not confuse a jail booking photo with the court record after an arrest.
For custody status and roster fields, use San Juan County jail inmate records. For charge outcomes, use the court system. San Juan County court records after arrest show filings, court events, dispositions, and copy options that a roster cannot provide.
Booking Photo Removal Records
A dismissal, acquittal, or changed charge does not automatically prove that every public or private copy of a booking image disappears. Official custody and court records have their own rules. If a San Juan County case is dismissed or a conviction is later vacated, the practical path is to obtain the court order or disposition and then ask the agency holding the record how it handles access, redaction, or restricted release.
Washington's conviction-vacation law, RCW 9.94A.640, is case-specific. Court sealing, vacation, and restricted access are court processes, not ordinary roster edits. The San Juan County court records after arrest process is the correct place to verify whether charges were dismissed, amended, resolved, sealed, or vacated.
Important: Commercial mugshot sites and removal offers are not official San Juan County, SCORE, court, DOC, BOP, or ICE records sources.
State and Federal Photos
The Washington State Department of Corrections (DOC) locator is for state prison custody, not San Juan County jail booking photos. DOC results are separate from a county or regional jail roster because they cover sentenced state-prison custody and related DOC locations. A person newly arrested in San Juan County may not appear in DOC unless later sentenced or placed in DOC custody.
The Federal Bureau of Prisons inmate locator and ICE detainee locator are also not mugshot galleries. BOP locator results focus on fields such as name, register number, age, race, sex, release date, and location. ICE ODLS is a custody locator for immigration detention. Neither should be used as a source for San Juan County jail mugshots.
