Plumas County Correctional Facility Inmate Search

Do you need to know whether you have a warrant in Plumas County or anywhere else in California? Or are you looking for information on a court case involving a friend or relative? Begin with the California Superior Court.

In California, including Plumas County, criminal defendants generally have a constitutional right to bail before trial, with limited exceptions for capital cases and certain violent felonies. The California Supreme Court requires judges to consider whether a defendant can afford the bail they set, and to use less restrictive release conditions where those would ensure public safety and the defendant’s return to court. Under Rule 4.101, whether the defendant has asked for a jury trial cannot affect the bail amount.

You can find out an inmate’s bail by calling the Plumas County Correctional Facility at 530-283-6267. If you already know the charge, the Plumas County bail schedule will show the standard amount. Bail here can be paid in cash, through a surety bond, or with a property bond.

While the Plumas County Correctional Facility is licensed for 67 inmates, it often has to make room for many more, especially on weekends. Here’s how long inmates typically stay at most city and county jails in California:

• At least 35-40% leave within a month
• Another 25-30% within 90 days
• Another 15-20% within six months
• About 8-9% stay six to twelve months

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 Plumas County facilities much longer.

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