Yolo County, California Inmate Search

In Yolo County, inmate searches involve the identification of individuals in law enforcement detention. Search results typically include general details such as the offender’s name, occupation, mugshot, age, alleged offense, booking date, booking time, custody status, and bail or bond amount.

While the county does not host any federal or state-run correctional facilities, detainees in the county are generally held at the Monroe Detention Center, a facility maintained by the Yolo County Sheriff’s Office. It houses pre-trial detainees as well as individuals who are serving short sentences for misdemeanors.

The sheriff’s office maintains the most comprehensive jail roster for the county, as the city police departments process bookings for temporary detention before offenders are transferred to the county jail. However, some of the county’s most populated cities, such as Davis and Woodland, maintain separate local arrest logs through their police departments. For instance, the Davis Police Department maintains a Daily Activity Log, while the Woodland Police Department maintains an Arrest Log, which provides up-to-date jail roster information.

How to Use the Yolo County Jail Roster

Yolo County Sheriff’s Office does not have an official online jail roster where the public can search for an inmate. The website provides access to booking statistics, which are a record of detainees over the past month. However, populated cities such as Woodland and Davis have police departments that maintain their own arrest roster. Follow these steps on how to use the Yolo County jail roster:

• Load the relevant city police department’s website, and locate the Daily Activity Log for Davis Police Department, or the Arrest Log for Woodland Police Department.
• Agree to the website’s terms to access the search platform for Woodland’s Arrest Log, while you click on the Visit The Citizen RIMS link on the Davis Daily Activity Log website.
• The Davis Police Department website will provide an updated list of detainees, which you can scroll through to find an inmate. Woodland Arrest Log links to a search platform that allows the public to filter the search period by date.
• After setting the date range for your search, click on the Search button.

What Information is Included in the Yolo County Inmate Roster

The Yolo County inmate roster provides details that can be used to track detainees and their custody details. They include publicly accessible information according to the California Public Records Act, Code § 7923.600. These records include details such as:

• The detainee’s name: This refers to the arrested individual’s full name and any aliases for better identification.
• The arrest date: The exact date of the arrest is included in the inmate roster for calculating legal timelines, such as the pretrial detention duration.
• The alleged charges: The inmate roster will contain a summary of the offense the detainee was arrested for.
• Custody status: The inmate roster will provide details on the detainee’s custody. This includes whether the detainee is in custody, released, or transferred to another jail.
• The bail or bond amount: The bond amount may also be included in the jail roster. The space for this will show ’no bail’ for ineligible inmates.

While these are publicly accessible inmate records, there are details that are restricted from public access for data privacy reasons. These details include juvenile records, victim information, medical records, and active investigation details.

Inmate Search by Jail Facility

The Yolo County jail system consists of two main facilities and the juvenile center. The juvenile center does not have a public online roster, as juvenile records are automatically sealed and can be accessed only by qualified individuals. Such individuals include an attorney who has verified their identity, a parent, or a legal guardian.

Other correctional facilities within the county, typically Monroe and Leinberger Detention Centers, make their jail rosters available through the sheriff’s office’s Booking Statistics website, which provides monthly inmate records. While the county primarily provides in-person access to the inmate search, populated cities within the county, such as Davis and Woodland, maintain separate online inmate rosters.

Facility Name	Separate Search Option?	Access Method
Yolo County Jail (Monroe and Leinberger Detention Centers)	Yes (Online)	Official Yolo County Sheriff’s Office website.
Juvenile Detention Facility	No (Confidential)	Contact Yolo Probation/Juvenile Office: (530) 406-5300.

Mailing and Commissary Information

Yolo County jails have strict security protocols when it comes to communication with an inmate. The county processes inmate mail directly at the facility, where jail staff can inspect all incoming items manually for contraband such as cell phones, intoxicants, unauthorized medications, gang-related items, and vaping products. The mail must be properly addressed to contain the inmate’s full name as in their booking record. In situations where the inmate’s name is common, including the booking number will help avoid any error.

The mail must also be clean, meaning a white envelope must be used, which must not be padded or oversized. A limited number of photographs is allowed, between 3 and 5. Correspondence between an inmate and the court system or a legal counsel must be clearly labelled as Legal Mail on the envelope for proper handling and delivery.
