Sacramento County
Inmate Search

Use the Sacramento 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.

Sacramento County operates 2 jail facilities. Sacramento County Main Jail at 651 I St, Sacramento, CA 95814 ((916) 874-6752), Downtown facility; handles all initial bookings for SPD and SCSO arrests in the city. Rio Cosumnes Correctional Center (RCCC) at 12500 Bruceville Rd, Elk Grove, CA 95757 ((916) 874-1927), Largest Sacramento County facility; sentences and pre-trial detainees overflow from Main Jail. CityWide can confirm which facility currently holds your person.

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 Sacramento 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 Sacramento County after bail typically takes 3–6 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 Sacramento County facilities 24 hours a day and monitors the processing queue until the person walks out.

Sacramento County bail schedule: DUI at $2,500, domestic violence at $30,000, assault at $25,000, drug possession $10,000–$30,000, most felonies $20,000–$100,000. 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.

Sacramento County uses an XREF number as the booking identifier. You can search by first and last name plus the captcha code, or by XREF number directly if you have it. Search results include arrest date, arresting agency, booking date, housing location, charges, bail amount, and projected release. The captcha requires entering an email or phone verification code shown on the search page.
