Riverside County
Inmate Search

Use the Riverside County Sheriff inmate locator above, or call CityWide at 1-833-385-5245 for an immediate lookup without navigating county websites. Search requires a full legal name and date of birth for best results. If no results appear within 8 hours of arrest, the person may still be in a city holding cell pending transfer to county, calling is faster than refreshing the search.

Several reasons a person may not appear in results: (1) They were arrested less than 4–8 hours ago and processing is not complete. (2) They are still in a city police holding cell before county transfer. (3) They were booked under a slightly different name, try last name only. (4) They may be held in a neighboring county. Call CityWide at 1-833-385-5245 and we verify status directly with the facility in minutes regardless of system lag.

The Riverside County inmate locator displays: booking number (keep this, you need it for mail, calls, and bail), current facility and housing unit, booking date, arresting agency, charges by California Penal Code section, bail amount set by the court, arraignment or next court date, and projected release date for sentenced inmates. Bail amount is the most important field, 10% of that number is what you pay CityWide to secure release.

Release from Riverside County after bail typically takes 2–4 hours. Weekday morning and afternoon releases are fastest. Nights, weekends, and holidays can add 1–2 hours due to reduced jail staffing. CityWide posts bail at all Riverside County facilities 24 hours a day and monitors the processing queue until the person walks out.

Riverside County bail schedule: DUI at $5,000, domestic violence at $50,000, assault at $25,000–$100,000, most felonies $25,000–$100,000. Riverside has some of the higher domestic violence bail amounts in California. California law sets bail bond premiums at exactly 10% of the full bail amount, this rate is the same for all bail agents in all 58 counties. CityWide offers payment plans for qualified co-signers. Call 1-833-385-5245 for an exact quote based on the charges and booking record.
