• What was triedFetched and checked Shoshone County's homepage, its full site sitemap (44 pages, https://shoshonecounty.id.gov/wp-sitemap-posts-page-1.xml), the Sheriff page, Commissioners page, Courts page, and Directory page — none names or describes a jail/detention facility, and a search for the word 'jail' across all fetched pages returned zero matches. The county's own domains shoshonecounty.org and the .id.gov domain's Wayback Machine archive were also checked and show no jail-related page.
