Inmate Search

Use the San Joaquin 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.

San Joaquin County operates 2 jail facilities. San Joaquin County Jail (Main) at 10 N San Joaquin St, Stockton, CA 95202 ((209) 468-4400), Downtown Stockton; primary booking facility for SPD and SJCSO arrests. Honor Farm at 8 N Sutter St, Stockton, CA 95202 ((209) 468-4400), Adjacent to main jail; sentenced low-risk inmates and work programs. 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.
