Kiesel Facility Release Outcomes
Kiesel's role is distinct from Weber County Correctional Facility. Weber describes it as a site used for work release, community service, weekend functions, and other post-sentence programming. A participant may have authorized time outside the building yet remain in custody or under a structured sentence. For that reason, the word release can describe a temporary program movement, a final completion, or a transfer. Only the custody record shows which event occurred.
For a Morgan County case, establish that Weber accepted the person and that Kiesel became the actual placement. Morgan has no jail beds, and people sentenced to jail may go to Weber or Davis. A Morgan arrest alone does not prove Kiesel involvement. Once the placement is confirmed, ask Weber for the admission and release transaction tied to the booking number and originating Morgan case.
Confirm a Kiesel Facility Release
The Weber Admission and Release bureau is the best first route for distinguishing an internal move from final departure. A name that changes or disappears on the main Weber roster does not answer that question. The current roster has no released-person view, release timestamp, or release-reason field. Program status may also require staff interpretation.
Use a narrow sequence for a named person:
- Ask Morgan County which receiving jail handled the arrest or commitment.
- Confirm with Weber that the person entered its system and was placed at Kiesel.
- Ask Admission and Release whether the last event was a program move, authorized community movement, sentence completion, or transfer.
- Request the booking-and-release sheet from Weber Records if dated proof is needed.
- Compare the disposition with the Morgan court order or docket.
A court order or sentence entry provides authority, but it does not prove Weber completed the exit. The Morgan County release search path gives the court and notification channels that can corroborate the custodial record.
Note: Use the booking number when available because one person can have more than one Weber custody transaction.
Kiesel Release Record Fields
Weber's durable record should identify the exact event. Request the full booked name and aliases, booking number, originating agency, Morgan case number, admission time, program or housing placement, public holds, release date and time, release authority or type, and public transfer destination. If a code replaces plain text, ask for the status-code legend. That keeps an internal placement code from being misread as a community release.
| Field | Question answered |
|---|---|
| Originating agency | Was the custody tied to Morgan County? |
| Facility or program | Was Kiesel the placement rather than the intake jail? |
| Release type | Was the event completion, court release, or transfer? |
| Release timestamp | When did Weber complete the event? |
| Destination | Did another custodian receive the person? |
Utah GRAMA does not make every field public. The agency classifies the response and may redact juvenile, medical, victim, security, sealed, expunged, or active investigative material. A focused request for release fields is more precise than asking for every document in a jail file.
Describe the event in plain terms. If the question is whether a weekend program ended, request the final status after that weekend. If the question concerns work release, ask whether the community movement was authorized within ongoing custody or marked as final sentence completion. A dated answer to that narrow point is more useful than a screen print from a current roster. Keep the Morgan case number in the request so Weber can distinguish the correct commitment from any other booking under the same name.
Kiesel Release Records Contact
The same Weber records channel that serves the main correctional facility owns the lasting Kiesel custody record. The Weber Sheriff Records page provides written and electronic request routes. It lists weekday hours and separate Records and GRAMA telephone numbers.
Weber Custody and Records
Jail routing: 801-778-6700
Records Bureau: 1400 Depot Drive, Ogden, UT 84401
Records: 801-778-6661
GRAMA: 801-778-6653
Hours: Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
If Weber cannot locate the person, the Morgan County Sheriff's Office can identify the arrest and transport destination. Its office number is 801-829-0590 and dispatch is 801-395-8221. Ask Morgan for its own incident and transport fields, not for records created later by Weber.
Note: Confirm the current fee schedule before filing because the published amounts can change after research.
Kiesel Facility Release History
Kiesel was built in 1983 to replace the jail that had occupied the top of the City and County building. It expanded in 1990. After people moved to Weber's 12th Street correctional facility in August 2000, Kiesel shifted toward the work-release, community-service, weekend, and post-sentence roles described by Weber. The history matters because older and newer records may refer to different functions at the same site.
The official Kiesel page is the successful manifest source for this facility's history and program role.
The capture supports the distinction between Kiesel's program function and WCCF's all-bookings intake role. It also explains why a simple site-to-site move cannot be labeled final release.
Morgan's zero-bed county structure adds another layer. The state jailbook identifies Weber or Davis for Morgan jail sentences. A person must first be linked to Weber, then to Kiesel, before this history and its record path apply.
Split Kiesel Release Custody
Morgan and Weber hold different pieces of one case. Morgan may retain the arrest report, local transport record, and court routing. Weber holds the admission, program placement, property, and release transaction after acceptance. The intercounty agreement gives Weber full custodial management of Morgan prisoners it accepts, so Weber is the proper source for the moment a Kiesel placement ends.
Choose the office by the fact. Ask Morgan why and where the person was sent. Ask Weber when the person entered Kiesel, what status governed the placement, and how it ended. Use the court for an order, sentence, commitment, dismissal, or later case event. When the facts straddle those roles, send separate focused requests rather than one broad demand to every agency.
Does a Morgan court disposition prove Kiesel released the person? It shows the legal order. Weber's completed release entry proves the custodial act.
Kiesel Program Versus Release
Three events can look similar from outside. An internal transfer changes the place of custody. Work release authorizes a defined period or activity in the community while the sentence continues. Sentence completion ends the jail custody component, unless another lawful hold or transfer applies. The record must be read with those differences in mind.
- Internal movement
- A move within Weber's facilities or programs without ending custody.
- Work release
- A structured program that permits approved activity outside while legal custody continues.
- Time served
- Completion of the custody time credited or ordered by the court.
- Transfer
- Departure from Weber into another agency's custody.
- Discharge
- The end of the relevant sentence or supervisory authority, not merely a site change.
These terms prevent a common error. A person can be absent from WCCF, present in a Kiesel program, and still not be released from custody. Admission and Release staff can interpret the last movement, while the written sheet preserves it.
Note: A transfer destination, when public, is the clearest sign that government custody continued after Weber's event.
After a Kiesel Release
A final Kiesel release may return the person to the community, but the Morgan court case can continue. Probation is a court-ordered community sentence. Parole follows a state-prison release and is controlled by the Utah Board and UDC Adult Probation and Parole, not by a Kiesel record alone. If the Weber disposition says transfer to UDC, use the statewide offender search rather than treating the event as community release.
For a completed local sentence, retain the Weber release sheet with the Morgan court disposition. For a continued case, check the next court date and any public conditions in the court record. For a receiving agency transfer, follow the named custodian. This chain respects each record's scope and avoids using a current roster as a historical archive.
The distinction is especially important at Kiesel because community activity can be part of the program itself. Confirmation rests on the final disposition, timestamp, and authority, not on a sighting away from the building.
Kiesel Release Match Details
A durable match should connect the full booked name, Morgan case number, Weber booking number, and the relevant dates. Verify each item before treating two records as the same event. A name alone can point to the wrong person or to a different booking. If staff report a move rather than release, ask which Weber program or facility received the person and whether custody remained active. If staff report completion, request the final timestamp and authority. This concise cross-check keeps the program history, court order, and custodial record aligned.
