Is there a warrant out for your arrest in Del Norte County or somewhere else in California? Do you need information about a court case involving you or a loved one? The California Superior Court is a good place to start.
Under the California Constitution, most criminal defendants in Del Norte County are entitled to bail before trial, apart from certain capital and violent felony cases. The California Supreme Court has ruled that bail must be set with the defendant’s ability to pay in mind, and that judges should turn to less restrictive conditions when those would protect the public and ensure a return to court. Per Rule 4.101, a defendant’s choice about a jury trial can’t be considered in setting bail.
To get an inmate’s bail, call the Del Norte County Jail at 707-464-4191. As long as you know the charge they were arrested on, you can look up the Del Norte County bail schedule yourself. The county accepts cash, a surety bond, or a property bond.
Here’s what to know about the Del Norte County Jail’s population:
- Licensed capacity: 142 inmates, though the jail often has to make room for more, especially on weekends
- Typical monthly turnover at city and county jails: at least 35-40%
- Additional turnover every 90 days: 25-30%
- Additional turnover every six months: 15-20%
- Held six to twelve months: about 8-9%
Inmates held longer than twelve months are usually facing serious charges like rape or murder. Because those cases take longer to prepare for trial, offenders arrested in this county remain in one of the Del Norte County facilities much longer.
Every year, Del Norte County law enforcement agencies arrest and detain approximately 3,720 offenders.
The large, white building, surrounded by fences and with a fenced and gated parking area in the back that contains the 142-bed Del Norte County Jail, also houses the sheriff's office and other law enforcement necessities. Both felony and misdemeanor offenders from Del Norte County will be held at the Del Norte County Jail as they wait for their trial to occur or for their bail to be paid, or as they serve their sentence. Both male and female inmates are located here, and it is separated by gender and as well by security needs from minimum to medium or even maximum security.
The main differences in the security divisions is the seriousness of the charges and the amount of free movement they have within the housing units.
Minimum security may have double cells and extensive dayroom access or even dorm housing, while maximum security is often limited to isolated cells and limited access to the dayrooms and outdoor recreation spaces.
Offenders who are arrested on warrants or charges under $25,000 are most likely to be released without need for bail, while others will need their bail paid at the Del Norte County Jail or the courthouse before release.
An online inmate roster is maintained with new arrests, newly arrested, and pending releases, and staff are able to answer some specific question about those things by you calling 707-464-4191.

Work release participants are able to leave the campus during their shifts and return after, but must remain in approved locations only and have reliable transportation to and from work.
