Plumas County Correctional Facility Inmate Search

Wondering whether there’s a warrant for your arrest in Plumas County or anywhere in California? Looking for details on a court case that involves you or someone close to you? Begin with the California Superior Court.

In Plumas County and all other California courts, most people charged with a crime have a constitutional right to pretrial release on bail, except in certain capital and violent felony cases. The California Supreme Court requires judges to consider a defendant’s ability to pay and prohibits detaining someone solely because they can’t afford bail unless no less restrictive option would protect public safety or ensure their appearance. Judges also cannot consider a defendant’s request for a jury trial when setting bail, under Rule 4.101.

Call the Plumas County Correctional Facility at 530-283-6267 to find out an inmate’s bail. If you know what the inmate was arrested for, you can also look up the amount on the Plumas County bail schedule. This county accepts cash, a surety bond, or a property bond.

The Plumas County Correctional Facility is licensed for 67 inmates, but the jail is often forced to make room for many more, especially on weekends. Monthly turnover at most city and county jails in California is at least 35-40% of the inmate population, 90-day turnover is another 25-30%, six-month turnover is another 15-20%, and about 8-9% stay six to twelve months. Inmates held longer than twelve months are usually facing serious charges like rape or murder. Since those cases take time to prepare for trial, offenders arrested in this county remain in custody at one of the Plumas County facilities much longer.

Every year, Plumas County law enforcement agencies arrest and detain approximately 2,340 offenders.

How to pay bail in Plumas County for an arrestee

Once an individual is booked at Plumas County Correctional Facility in Quincy, options for their release include:

1. Release without paying bail, with a commitment to appear in court.
2. Continued detention until their court date.
3. Release upon paying a bail or bond. Call 530-283-6267 for the bail amount.

Bail can be paid through various methods.

• Bring the full cash bond to the jail's bonding window or the clerk of court and pay by cash, cashier's check or money order; many jails also take debit or credit cards for a fee through a lobby kiosk or an online bond vendor, and staff will need the inmate's full name and booking number (jail: 530-283-6267).
• A licensed bail bondsman in Plumas County can assist with the process.
• An owner can often pledge land or a home as bond collateral by proving clear title and equity worth at least the bond, frequently double the bond, with a deed and a recent tax or appraisal value; the court that set bail must approve the property before release.
