Auburn Jail Inmate Search

For questions about an arrest warrant in Placer County or anywhere in California, or about a court case involving you, a friend, or a relative, begin with the California Superior Court.

The California Constitution gives most criminal defendants in Placer County a right to pretrial release on bail, with exceptions for certain capital and violent felony cases. The California Supreme Court has ruled that judges must consider a defendant’s ability to pay, and that holding someone only because they can’t afford bail is unconstitutional unless no less restrictive condition would protect public safety or ensure their return to court. Rule 4.101 also bars judges from considering a defendant’s request for a jury trial.

The simplest way to find an offender’s bail is to call the Auburn Jail at 530-745-8500. If you know the crime they’ve been accused of, you can also check the Placer County bail schedule. Bail in this county can be paid with cash, a surety bond, or a property bond.

The licensed capacity of the Auburn Jail is 646 inmates, though the jail frequently has to make room for more, especially on weekends. Most city and county jails in California see at least 35-40% of inmates turn over monthly, 25-30% more every 90 days, and 15-20% more every six months, while around 8-9% remain six to twelve months. Stays longer than twelve months are usually tied to serious charges such as rape or murder. Those cases take time to prepare for trial, which means offenders arrested in this county stay in custody at one of the Placer County facilities much longer.

Placer County law enforcement agencies arrest and detain approximately 25,880 offenders annually.

How to handle bail after an arrest in Placer County

If someone has been booked at Auburn Jail in Auburn, their next steps may include:

1. Release without posting bail, provided they agree to attend court.
2. Detainment until their trial.
3. Posting bail or bond to secure release. For the exact amount, call 530-745-8500.

There are a variety of payment methods available for bail.

• The usual way to post a cash bond is to pay the full amount at the jail bonding window or the clerk of court by cash, cashier's check or money order; many jails also offer card payment through a lobby kiosk or online bond vendor for a fee, and you should bring the inmate's full name and booking number (call 530-745-8500 for the jail).
• Assistance is available from licensed bail bond companies in Placer County.
• Real property bonds are accepted in many courts: an owner may offer land or a home after showing clear title and equity of at least the bond, often double, with a deed and a recent tax or appraisal value, and the court that set bail approves it.
