Find Plumas County Inmate Records

Plumas County Jail Roster Status

The most important Plumas County inmate records finding is that no official public online current-inmate roster was located on the reviewed jail menu, sheriff page, sheriff forms page, or county search results. The Plumas County jail page gives the county correctional facility phone line and explains what correctional officers may release. It does not expose a searchable jail roster with current inmates, booking dates, mugshots, housing, or release status.

That changes the search order. For a recent Plumas arrest, the local custody check starts by calling the Plumas County Correctional Facility. For court dates or formal case records, the jail directs callers to Plumas Superior Court. For a person who has moved into sentenced state prison custody, CDCR CIRIS is the correct locator. Federal and immigration custody use BOP and ICE systems, not a Plumas County jail roster.

Search Plumas County Jail Records

A Plumas County inmate records search should follow the channel that matches the person's stage in the case. The jail phone line is the first local channel for current custody, but it is limited. Court staff handle court dates and filed case records. Sheriff records requests are used for incident, CAD, crime-report, or coroner records. State, federal, and immigration locators handle people outside the local jail system.

1. Call the Plumas County Correctional Facility at (530) 283-6267 and ask whether the person is currently in custody.
2. Ask for charges and bail amounts if staff can release them. Do not expect release information or court dates from correctional officers.
3. Call Plumas Superior Court at (530) 283-6232 or use the court record-search process for case status, court dates, complaints, informations, citations, dispositions, or sentencing orders.
4. Use the sheriff Application for Release of Public Record for CAD, crime-report, coroner-report, or other PCSO records. Include the person, date, incident location, and case number if known.
5. Search CDCR CIRIS, the BOP inmate locator, ICE ODLS, or VINELink California when local jail custody is not the right system.

The sheriff forms page is useful when the phone channel is too narrow. See the Plumas County Sheriff's Office forms page for the public-record release application source shown below.

The forms page matters because Plumas County inmate records may require a written request when the jail phone line cannot release the record or when the request involves an incident report rather than current custody.

Plumas County Roster Search Fields

The roster field table is brief because Plumas County does not publish an official searchable current-inmate roster in the reviewed sources. The substitute fields are the ones used by the records and fallback systems that the research documents. That includes the sheriff public-record form, the court record request form, CDCR CIRIS, BOP, ICE, and VINELink.

What Plumas County Inmate Records Show

Plumas County inmate records do not appear as one public profile with all fields in one place. By phone, jail staff may release charges and bail amounts only. The jail page says court dates and release information are not given out for safety reasons. A sheriff public-record request can ask for CAD incident reports, crime reports, coroner reports, or other records, but the form warns that information can be denied, redacted, or referred to the District Attorney's Office. Court records are separate and cover filed case documents rather than police reports.

Plumas County Jail vs Other Locators

The county jail covers the local stage. That includes pretrial detainees, people serving local county jail sentences, people waiting for court, people waiting for transfer, and alternative-custody applicants or participants. Once a person receives a state-prison sentence and is transferred, the search should shift to CDCR. Federal cases and immigration detention have separate systems, even if the person was first arrested in Plumas County.

Plumas County Jail Facility

The local detention facility for Plumas County inmate records is the Plumas County Correctional Facility. The facility sits in Quincy and is operated by the Plumas County Sheriff's Office. The current BSCC rated capacity noted in research is 61 beds, while older county and planning materials described 67 beds after the 1985 addition. The facility holds local pretrial detainees, county jail sentences, court or transfer holds, and alternative-custody applicants tied to Plumas County cases.

Booking Process in Plumas County

Plumas-specific booking detail is limited because the sheriff does not publish a full booking-process walkthrough. The practical local result is clear: after a person is booked at the Plumas County Correctional Facility, correctional officers may release charges and bail amounts by phone. The jail does not release court dates or release information. Under California law, arrest and booking information can include name, physical description, arrest and booking times, location, bail, holding location, charges, and other facts, subject to safety and investigation exceptions.

The likely local sequence is arrest, transport to the Quincy correctional facility when jail custody is required, intake and identification, charge and bail entry, housing classification, medical screening, and then court, release, transfer, or continued custody. The public visitation schedule confirms the jail uses Female, Male, protective custody, and administrative segregation groups. If a person receives a state-prison sentence, the lookup later shifts from Plumas County inmate records to CDCR CIRIS.

Plumas County Jail Visitation

Visitation is appointment-only. The official Plumas County jail visitation page says visits are scheduled by calling 530-283-6267 and are no longer first come, first served. Visitors need current valid ID. People recently released from the facility are denied visitation for 30 days. All items except ID, including cell phones and recording devices, should be left in the vehicle. Minors must be supervised by a parent or legal guardian.

The county jail page still contains a no-contact notice tied to older public-health language, while the current visitation page publishes appointment windows. Call the jail before relying on any posted schedule.

Contact Plumas County Inmates

Mail, phone, video visitation, and electronic messaging are separate from inmate record lookup, but they depend on current custody. The correspondence page lists the mail address as Plumas County Correctional Facility, 50 Abernathy Lane, Quincy, CA 95971. That differs from the physical facility address, so use the mailing address exactly as the jail correspondence page lists it. Envelopes need the full sender name and address. Incomplete mail is returned.

Video visitation and electronic messaging use NCIC. The jail's kiosk instructions direct users to choose California, select Plumas as the facility, then schedule a video visit or select electronic messaging by inmate last name. Prepaid phone accounts also use NCIC at accounts.ncic.com or 1-800-943-2189. The inmate ID may be needed, and the jail says callers can request that number from the facility.

See the Plumas County jail kiosk page for the video visitation and electronic messaging source shown below.

The kiosk page is part of the records workflow because an inmate's current facility status and ID may be needed before a family member schedules a visit or funds communication.

Plumas County Commissary Funds

Commissary deposits use Access Corrections online or 1-866-345-1884 by phone. The jail page says the inmate ID number may be needed and can be requested from the Plumas County Correctional Facility. Deposits can take up to 24 hours. Package orders use plumascountypackages.com or 1-800-546-6283. A jail policy packet noted order forms due by 11:00 PM Sunday for Tuesday delivery or 11:00 PM Wednesday for Friday delivery, with a purchase limit up to $75.00 twice a week.
