When it was first built in 1976, it had 60 beds and cost only $4 million. It 1989 it was remodeled and expanding to its current capacity, but now the problem is that it is no longer a viable building for its intented use. The actual physical address of the 81,624 square foot facility is 1125 Third Street, Napa, CA 94559. You can reach the jail to get inmate and other recorded information by calling 707-253-4401.
Due to California's 2011 “realignment” program which shifted some inmates with longer sentences from state prisons to local jails, it created a problem for jails like Napa's that weren't designed to keep more dangerous, highly classified inmates separate from less dangerous inmates. It also didn't take into account the explosive growth in gangs in this area. And so just locking offenders up in cells all day to keep the peace was not going to work.

Therefore Napa County made the decision to build a new 332-bed, $133 million jail along Highway 221 near Napa Valley College. Construction has already begun and expectations are that inmates will be ready to move in in early 2025. The new Napa County Jail is designed to include eight 32-Bed Housing pods, two 24-Bed Dormitory Housing units and Medical and Mental Health Services spaces (28-Beds and 2 Isolation rooms) for a total of 332 total Beds. In addition, the facility will include all of the necessary functional spaces to operate a fully functional Jail facility.
The county's goal is to build a jail that doesn't look like a jail, both outside and inside. They claim it will be less institutional and more normative environment with lots of daylight, attention to acoustics and approachable, welcoming staff stations in the dorms. They are even going to stop calling offenders 'inmates' and start calling them 'clients'.



Napa County also has a secondary facility that is geared towards inmates preparing to be released soon. It is called the Re-entry Facility and is located at 2200 Napa Vallejo Highway, Napa, CA 94558 near where the new jail is being built. It is a 21,000 square foot, 72-bed minimum security facility that was built for $13 million.
Napa County maintains an online Inmate Search and Jail Roster, and while it does not provide the public with mugshots, you can look up criminal charges, bond amounts,specific inmate information, booking and release reports. You can also look up Napa County Arrest Warrants.
Mail can be received every day and is processed and passed to the inmates quickly, however you will need the inmate's ID# when you mail them, so be sure to get that when you call 707-253-4401.
