Find a Stanislaus County Jail Inmate and Check Current Custody
If you are trying to locate someone arrested in Modesto, Turlock, Ceres, Oakdale, Riverbank, Patterson or elsewhere in Stanislaus County, start with the Stanislaus County Sheriff’s Office Who’s in Jail system. The official search can be used with a name, date of birth or seven-digit booking number and can show the information most families need before taking another step.
A jail booking or listed charge is not proof of guilt or conviction. Custody, bail, housing and court information can change after booking.
How to Search the Stanislaus County Jail Roster
You do not need to know which detention building holds the person before searching. The Sheriff’s current lookup accepts three useful identifiers: name, date of birth, or seven-digit booking number.
- Open the Sheriff’s Who’s in Jail page. Use the official county search rather than beginning with a paid people-search or mugshot site.
- Search by the strongest information you have. A seven-digit booking number is the most precise. Otherwise use the person’s legal name or date of birth.
- Check the identity carefully. Similar names can appear. Compare the date of birth, place of birth, booking date and arresting agency when available.
- Open “Full Booking Details.” This expands the record beyond the basic search result.
- Save the booking number and facility. You may need both for mail, deposits, visitation or a call to detention staff.
- Review charges, bail and court date. Treat them as current booking information and recheck before making a time-sensitive decision.
What Information Can the Inmate Search Show?
The current Sheriff’s search is more useful than a simple name-only roster. Depending on the booking, the detail screen can display:
| Information | How it helps |
|---|---|
| Name and date of birth | Helps confirm that you found the correct person. |
| Seven-digit booking number | The key identifier used for several jail services. |
| Place of birth | Useful for distinguishing people with similar names. |
| Booking date and arrest time | Helps identify the current arrest or custody event. |
| Arresting agency | Shows which law-enforcement agency handled the arrest. |
| Current facility | Important before visiting, calling or sending authorized items. |
| Release date | May show release information when it is available. |
| Charges | Lists the booking-related allegation or code information published by the Sheriff. |
| Case number | Can help connect the booking with the Superior Court case. |
| Bail | Shows the amount published for a charge or booking when applicable. |
| Court date | Provides the next listed appearance when the jail record contains it. |
Stanislaus County Adult Detention Facilities
The Stanislaus County Sheriff’s Office operates multiple adult detention facilities around the Hackett Road detention campus in Modesto. Always use the facility shown on the live inmate record rather than assuming a person is housed at the booking location.
| Facility | Address / Phone | What to know |
|---|---|---|
| Sheriff’s Detention Center – East | 200 E. Hackett Road Modesto, CA 95358 (209) 525-5630 | Opened in 2017. Main booking and releasing facility; includes medical, mental-health and maximum-security units. The Sheriff lists capacity up to 559. |
| Sheriff’s Detention Center – West | 200 E. Hackett Road Modesto, CA 95358 (209) 525-5630 | Direct-observation/pod-style facility opened in 1992. Rated capacity: 510. |
| Minimum Housing Units 1 & 2 | 200 E. Hackett Road Modesto, CA 95358 (209) 491-8702 | Two minimum-housing units. The Sheriff lists 192 beds in Unit 1 and 192 in Unit 2. |
| REACT | 194 E. Hackett Road Modesto, CA 95355 (209) 491-8771 | Re-Entry and Enhanced Alternatives to Custody Training facility. Opened in 2018 with a rated capacity of 288 and education/vocational programming. |
If You Cannot Find the Inmate
A blank result does not necessarily mean the person was never arrested. Work through these checks in order:
- Very recent arrest: the person may still be with the arresting agency, in transport, undergoing medical screening or waiting for booking to finish.
- Name mismatch: retry the legal spelling, middle name, suffix or date of birth.
- Released already: a person may have posted bail, received a citation, been released by court order or otherwise left custody.
- Transferred: current housing can change after intake.
- California state prison: use CDCR’s California Incarcerated Records and Information Search rather than the county jail roster.
- Federal custody: use the Federal Bureau of Prisons locator.
- Immigration custody: use the ICE Online Detainee Locator when applicable.
- You need the case, not custody: search the Stanislaus County Superior Court portal.
Charges, Bail and Court Dates
The Sheriff’s inmate detail can show the charge, case number, bail and a court date. For the criminal case itself, use the Superior Court of California, County of Stanislaus portal.
- Find the inmate in the Sheriff database and save the legal name, booking number and any listed case number.
- Open the Stanislaus Superior Court case-search portal.
- Search the available public case information and carefully match the defendant.
- Use the court record for filed proceedings, hearing information and later case activity.
- Recheck bail immediately before arranging payment because judicial orders, holds or additional cases can affect release.
The court publishes a 2026 Stanislaus County felony bail schedule, but a schedule amount is not automatically the amount required for a particular inmate. The actual booking and court orders control.
The Criminal Division is at 800 11th Street, Room 140, Modesto, CA 95354. The court lists (209) 530-3100, option 4 for Criminal. Clerk’s Office hours are generally Monday–Friday, 8:15 a.m.–4:00 p.m.; telephone hours are 8:15 a.m.–3:00 p.m.
How Visitation Works
Stanislaus County now uses different systems depending on the facility and visit type. Confirm the inmate’s current facility before creating an account or scheduling anything.
| Facility | Current visit method | Important details |
|---|---|---|
| SDC-East | Video through JailATM | No video visiting Wednesday. The Sheriff currently provides two free 30-minute video visits each week; additional visits may be charged by the provider. |
| REACT | Video through JailATM | Account must be reviewed and approved. Availability depends on inmate access to tablets or kiosks. |
| SDC-West | In-person non-contact through glass via ICSolutions; video also available | Public in-person visits must be scheduled at least 24 hours ahead. Current published in-person window is Thursday–Tuesday, 8:00 a.m.–7:00 p.m.; no visiting Wednesday. |
| Minimum Housing Units | In-person through ICSolutions; video also available | Public in-person visits require advance scheduling and approval. Weekend sessions vary by housing unit. |
Current Minimum Housing In-Person Sessions
The Sheriff’s current MHU page lists the following schedule effective October 18, 2025. Because housing assignments can change, confirm the person’s unit before choosing a session.
| Saturday | Sunday |
|---|---|
| MHU2A: 7:00–7:30 a.m. | MHU1B: 7:00–7:30 a.m. |

How to Put Money on an Inmate Account
Stanislaus County uses TouchPay for incarcerated-person account deposits. Before paying, get the correct inmate name and booking number from the official inmate search.
- Facility locator number: 295354
- Jurisdiction: Stanislaus County, CA
- Inmate’s booking number
- Inmate’s name
The Sheriff’s published options include:
- Online: TouchPay’s internet payment system.
- Phone: 1-866-232-1899.
- Lobby kiosk: cash can be used at qualifying TouchPay kiosks. The Sheriff lists kiosks at detention locations including the Hackett Road campus and REACT.
Online and telephone transactions can use qualifying card or checking-account payment methods. TouchPay charges a convenience fee, so review the amount before confirming.
The Sheriff’s commissary service allows incarcerated people to purchase approved hygiene items, food, recreational supplies and phone time. Current detention-support information states that incarcerated persons may purchase up to $75 in phone time and $75 in food/hygiene items once per week.
Phone Calls and Electronic Messages
The Sheriff’s Office states that incarcerated persons generally have telephone access between 6:00 a.m. and 10:00 p.m., although the exact access period and call length depend on the facility and housing assignment.
Stanislaus County uses ICSolutions for prepaid collect telephone accounts. Family or friends can create an account online or call 888-506-8407.
Electronic messaging is separate from telephone service. The Sheriff’s Office uses JailATM for electronic messages and photos. Content can be rejected when it violates jail rules, including prohibited sexual, drug-related, violent or otherwise inappropriate material.
How to Send Mail, Books and Legal Mail
Ordinary personal mail is no longer mailed directly to the inmate’s housing building. Stanislaus County routes personal postal mail through a central JailATM processing facility, where it is opened and scanned for digital delivery.
Stanislaus County Sheriff’s Detention Center
IP Name and Booking #
P.O. Box 16120
Jonesboro, AR 72401
The booking number must be included. Do not send parcel packages to the central processing facility.
200 E. Hackett Rd.
Modesto, CA 95358
These items should not be sent to the JailATM central mail-processing address. The Sheriff also states that magazines, periodicals and books must come directly from the publisher; third-party books and hardcover books are not allowed. An incarcerated person may have a total of five books in the cell under the current published policy.
Check the current Sheriff’s mail and book rules before sending anything.
Release Date, Custody Changes and VINE Notifications
If a release date is displayed in the inmate record, recheck the live booking before arranging transportation. A displayed date or anticipated release can change because of court orders, another case, a warrant, release processing or another legal hold.
Crime victims, qualifying family members and witnesses can also use VINE for custody notifications. The Stanislaus County District Attorney directs users to VINELink or 1-877-411-5588 for notifications that can include release from custody and certain other custody-status events.
Need an Older Arrest, Jail or Incident Record?
A current inmate search is not the same as a complete arrest history. The Stanislaus County Sheriff’s Records Division publishes separate procedures for several records.
| Record | Current published fee | Important requirement |
|---|---|---|
| Arrest Record Letter | $25 | The subject of the record must appear in person with identification. It covers Stanislaus County arrests only. |
| Incarceration Letter | $25 | Shows dates and times of incarceration in Stanislaus County jail facilities. In-person ID is required. |
| Records Clearance Letter | $5 | Local name/date-of-birth check only; it is not a fingerprint-based statewide criminal-history check. |
| Crime / Incident Report | $5 first four pages; $1 per additional page | Release depends on the requester’s eligibility and the record. Valid identification is required. |
Fees can change. The Sheriff’s Operations Center is at 250 E. Hackett Road, Modesto, CA 95358. For a statewide personal criminal-history record, follow California Department of Justice procedures rather than treating a county arrest letter as a statewide background check.

Best Way to Use This Information
For most searches, first confirm the person in the Sheriff’s live inmate database and save the booking number and current facility. You can then handle nearly every next step—understanding the booking, checking the court case, planning a visit, sending money, setting up calls or addressing mail—without searching through unrelated websites. Return to the official Sheriff or court system only when you need live custody data, current scheduling availability or another transaction that must be completed directly with the responsible agency.
