Who to call about an inmate or court date at Canyon County (and courtroom rules families should know)
Tracking down a court date or worried about someone's medical care in custody? The right phone number makes all the difference. Here are the Canyon County contacts you need, plus courtroom rules that trip up a lot of families.
For court date information, call the Canyon County Clerk's Office at 454-7575. They handle all court scheduling questions - much faster than bouncing between departments.
The detention center Medical Unit takes calls during business hours (08:00–17:00). For urgent concerns, call the main Detention Center at 208-454-7540 - they'll route you to the right place quickly.
Courtroom rule: Communication between inmates and members of the public is not allowed in the courtroom.
When you attend a hearing, support your loved one quietly and from a distance. A quick wave, a passed note, even trying to speak - all of it counts as prohibited communication. Stay focused on the proceedings and save any messages for the proper channels afterward.
Inmate transport schedules aren't shared publicly - that's a security policy. If you're planning around a court appearance, don't expect to get transport timing details.
