Need to know whether someone is in jail?

Many times I have people call inquiring about whether a friend or family member is in custody, what jail they are in, charges, bail amount and/or have they been released. This information is now easily accessible with on-line jail registers for Snohomish, King, Pierce and Kitsap Counties. The information typically provided is the person's name, booking number/date, pending charges, bail amount, release date etc.al.
