About the Sacramento County Main Jail

Sacramento County Main Jail in California is a 437,000 square foot building with eight floors. It was built in 1989 and has 2,432 inmate beds. Women inmates are housed on the 7th floor and make up ten percent of the jail population. These women were featured in a Netflix streaming reality program called "Jailbirds". The jail is located at 651 I Street, Sacramento, CA 95814. The facility can be contacted by phone at 916-874-6752.

This jail has been under consideration for an expanded number of beds for years. The Sacramento County Sheriff's Department that overseas the jail has stipulated that they desperately need a new intake and healthcare facility in order to be compliant with legal Disability Rights requirements. They need to add a medical and psychiatric clinic in order to keep from overusing segregation with mentally ill inmates.

Many in the Sacramento community have fought a jail expansion even though the jail is not compliant with current laws and is not adhering to a court approved settlement. It is thought that the money they want to spend could be more effectively used on prevention and social services outside of a jail system.

Currently, and to some degree because of the physical design of the building, inmates are not housed according to risk classifications or mental health considerations, which can be very problematic when there are staff shortages.

Sacramento County Main Jail Booking Roster

What happens during booking in Sacramento County?

After being arrested and taken into custody, and after being read their Miranda Rights, an offender will next be transported to the local police or department or the Sheriff’s Department in Sacramento County for booking.

Booking is very involved and requires multiple steps in the process, however, keep in mind that most attorneys will advise that an offender remain silent and not offer any additional information about the crime they have been arrested for because anything they do say may be recorded and may very well be used against them in court.

What is the booking process like at the Sacramento County Main Jail?

Booking includes having their photo (mugshot) and fingerprints taken, as well as being asked a lot of questions about their personal history and state of mind. If it’s a serious felony, their DNA may also be taken. They will also be checked for warrants in Sacramento County and other California and USA jurisdictions.

If the offender was arrested for a DUI offense, and has refused a breathalyzer test, they may also be forced to have blood drawn by a doctor or nurse.

It is also very likely that the offender will undergo a humiliating full body search while in the nude. This includes bending over, spreading their cheeks in the direction of an officer, and coughing. They will also be walked through a metal detector or x-ray machine, like those used at an airport.

What kind of questions are asked during booking?

The arresting jurisdiction will ask about gang affiliations, tattoos, medical conditions, prescribed medication they are taking, recreational drugs they are on or addicted to, allergies, if they are suicidal, and other relevant information that will help with determining their cell assignment and special needs.

What happens to an offender’s personal property during booking?

During the arrest and booking process an offender will also have all their personal property confiscated and held for either their release from jail, or with the offender’s approval, released to a friend or family member.

Personal property includes the clothing they are wearing, money, wallets, purses, cell phones, jewelry, body rings, earrings, watches, and even glasses if they are deemed a security risk. If they are allowed to keep their shoes or sneakers, the laces are removed.

What happens after booking?

At this point the offender will be allowed to make a free phone call to a person of their choice to notify them of their arrest, and/or arrange a bond or bail for their release.

If the offender is being detained and housed while awaiting arraignment, the Sacramento County Main Jail will provide a jail garment and slip-on shoes, a blanket, sheets, soap, toothbrush, toothpaste, and a towel.

Often, before they are dressed in the jail outfit and brought to their housing location, they will be forced to take a shower and undergo a disinfectant treatment for body and hair lice, scabies or other pests that may be residing on their person.

How long does the Sacramento County Main Jail Booking process take?

Booking can take anywhere from an hour to 24 hours or more. It all depends on the number of people that are awaiting processing, the number of staff on duty at the time, and the behavior of the offender.

If the offender is heavily intoxicated and/or violent, the Booking Officer may decide to stick the offender in a holding cell for several hours until they become more manageable.
