Sacramento County jail inmate search

Custody records can be checked through the Sac Sheriff Inmate Information portal online; the Sacramento County Sheriff's Office operates it. You can search using a name or an XREF number, which the county uses to identify one person. In each record you'll see the latest charges the Sheriff's Department knows about. If an arrest just happened tonight and nothing appears, call the Main Jail at 916-874-6752 to check with staff.

The downtown Main Jail or the Rio Cosumnes Correctional Center holds people arrested locally. Until intake paperwork finishes, someone just arrested won't show up on the Sac Sheriff name search page. Call 916-874-6752 to ask staff about a very recent arrest.

Separate numbers cover custody questions, phone billing, and family emergencies. On the visitation page and Sacramento County Sheriff's Office Main Jail page, these numbers are posted:

• 916-874-6752: Main Jail line for general custody questions.
• 916-874-6345: Main Jail Social Worker for a serious family emergency.
• 916-874-7724: Jail Chaplain for family emergencies.
• 1-800-844-6591: Securus customer service for inmate phone accounts.

The Sheriff's Office operates both custody facilities. Downtown Sacramento is home to the Main Jail at 651 I Street, Sacramento, CA 95814, per the Sacramento County Sheriff's Office website. At 12500 Bruceville Road sits the other county facility, the Rio Cosumnes Correctional Center, or RCCC. Look at the online roster before you drive out, so you head to the right county building.

The Sacramento County Sheriff's Office maintains custody records for both local jails. The Sac Sheriff Inmate Information page lets you check records. Families are also directed to this facility on the City of Sacramento Main Jail page.

Register in person in the jail lobby if you want to visit someone. These rules come from the Sacramento County Sheriff's Office visitation page:

• Every week, Sunday through Saturday, 2 social visits are allowed per inmate.
• Visits run first come, first served and last 45 minutes.
• A visit can include up to 3 people.
• A valid ID is required, and visitors must be 18 or older.

The jails don't receive personal letters directly. According to the Sac Sheriff Inmate Information page, the Securus Digital Mail Center handles general mail. The housing location still receives legal mail directly.

No public access to the cashier's office. Cash and cards work at the TouchPay kiosk in the Main Jail lobby, and mailing a cashier's check or money order is another option. For a fee, TouchPay also accepts payment online, by phone, or at retail stores.

The jail store, called commissary, is where food, hygiene items, and writing supplies are sold. The Sac Sheriff inmate funds page says weekly orders require deposits ahead of 7:00 a.m. Sunday.

Securus Technologies runs the inmate phone system. You'll need an account before you can accept calls from someone in jail. Call Securus at 1-800-844-6591 to open an account, as listed on the Sac Sheriff Inmate Information page.

Names, mugshots, and arrest records are never shown by County Jail Lookup. Check what the county publishes on the Sac Sheriff Inmate Information roster. You'll find booking details on the roster, plus the latest charges the Sheriff's Department knows of.

With a bond, money backs a promise to return for court dates. Judges in California use a countywide schedule to set bail. Judges may also add conditions or allow release on own recognizance, meaning a promise to appear with no money paid. Hiring a commercial bail agent lets you get a surety bond posted. Call 916-874-6752 for local bail rules, or read the guide on how to bail someone out of jail.

Processing times vary, so call 916-874-6752 to ask about a person's status. Leftover funds don't come back as cash or checks; the Sac Sheriff inmate funds page says they come on a NUMI MasterCard debit card. Through SIRENS, victims can also get release alerts.
