The Rutland County, Vermont inmate register is a public resource that allows citizens to find out who is currently in custody at the local correctional facility. Public information about current and recently released inmates can be found on the RutlandCourt.us website. Additionally, information is available through the official website of the Marble Valley Regional Correctional Facility (MVRCF), which serves Rutland County and is managed by the Vermont Department of Corrections. Information can also be obtained by phone or by visiting the facility in person. The register is updated regularly and serves as a transparency tool, allowing verification of an individual's custody status, charges, and admission date.
Search Current Inmates in Rutland Jail
In Vermont, inmate custody is managed not by the county sheriff's office but by the state's Department of Corrections. For Rutland County, the primary facility is the Marble Valley Regional Correctional Facility, located in the city of Rutland.
Online Search
- Visit RutlandCourt.us — the site provides public information search for court cases and inmates.
- Go to the official MVRCF page on the Department of Corrections website, where contact information and visitation details are published.
- Use the Vermont Criminal Conviction Record Internet Service (VCCRIS) to check criminal convictions — this system is serviced by the Vermont Crime Information Center.
You will need the person's full legal name (last name and first name) to search. If the booking number is known, it will speed up the process. Note: juvenile offenders are not displayed in the public register.

Find Rutland Jail Booking Records Online
A booking record is created at the moment a detained person is officially registered at a correctional facility. This document records key information about the inmate and the circumstances of the arrest.
A typical booking record includes:
- Booking number
- Date and time of admission
- Charges filed
- Arresting agency (e.g., Vermont State Police — Rutland Barracks, local police, or Rutland County Prosecutor's Office)
- Personal details of the detainee (name, date of birth, gender)
In Rutland County, booking records can be obtained in several ways. The quickest is to check the current inmate register online via RutlandCourt.us. If more detailed or archival information is needed, submit an official public records request to the Vermont Department of Corrections. It is worth noting that according to the Vermont public access to court records rules, the court does not allow internet access to criminal, family, and probate cases — therefore, some materials are available only by written request or in person.
To check a person's criminal history in general (not just current custody), use the VCIC record check service.
Search the Rutland Jail Roster by Last Name or Booking Number
The inmate register supports two main search methods.
Search by Last Name
- Enter the last name in the appropriate field. Optionally, add the first name to narrow the results.
- Check the spelling — even one letter error can lead to no results.
- If the system supports partial search, try entering only the first few letters of the last name.
Search by Booking Number
If you know the booking number, enter it directly. This is the most accurate way to find a specific record, especially when several individuals have the same last name.
If the Search Yields No Results
- The person may have already been released — the register only displays those currently in custody.
- Check alternative spellings of the name or maiden name.
- The detainee may have been transferred to another state facility — contact the Department of Corrections for clarification.
- There may be a delay of several hours between the actual arrest and the record appearing in the system.
Call MVRCF at (802) 786-5084 if none of the online methods helped.
Jail Roster Updates and Search Limitations in Rutland
The MVRCF inmate register is updated periodically, but not in real-time. In practice, this means a delay of several hours to one business day between the time of admission and the record appearing in public access.
Main limitations to be aware of:
- Delay after admission. A recently detained person first undergoes registration, photographing, and medical examination — only after this do the data enter the system.
- Disappearance after release. When a person is released on bail, by court decision, or after serving their term, their record is removed from the current register. The register is not an archive of all past detentions.
- Transfers between facilities. Vermont has several correctional facilities throughout the state. An inmate may be transferred from MVRCF to another facility — in such a case, they will disappear from the local register.
- Data entry errors. Sometimes a name is recorded incorrectly or using an alias, complicating the search.
To obtain archival data or records of past detentions, submit a public records request directly to the Department of Corrections. Requests for police reports are processed separately through the Vermont State Police record request service in accordance with the public records law (1 V.S.A. § 317).
