Plumas County Juvenile Detention
The Plumas County Juvenile Detention facility is intended to help guide youth and offers reparations for victims. Individualized programs are created for each of the youth admitted, and they focus on rehabilitation and accountability. When youth are sentenced by the juvenile court, they may be referred to a treatment program, early intervention programs, or they may be sent for confinement at the detention center. Prevention is attempted from their first interaction with the court, and there are attempts to teach better choices, improved decision making, social interactions, and other life skills. There are 40 beds available for both male and female young offenders, and they are housed here before they have their court date and while they await their sentence. General education is provided by the local school board to ensure that all youth have access to ongoing education, and they will have access to programs for addictions treatments, anger management, computer use, and more.

Plumas County Juvenile Detention Inmate Search
Do you have a warrant for your arrest in Plumas County or anywhere else in California? Need details about a court case involving you, a friend, or a relative? The California Superior Court is a good place to start.
In Plumas County and every other court in California, most criminal defendants have a constitutional right to be released on bail before trial, 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 when setting bail, and can’t keep someone in jail simply because they can’t afford it unless no less restrictive option would protect public safety or ensure they return to court. Under Rule 4.101, judges also cannot consider whether the defendant has asked for a jury trial when setting bail.
The easiest way to find out an inmate’s bail at the Plumas County Juvenile Detention is to call the jail at 530-251-8324. If you know the charge the inmate was arrested for, you can also look up the Plumas County bail schedule yourself. The county accepts cash, a surety bond, or a property bond.
The Plumas County Juvenile Detention is licensed for 40 inmates, but it is often forced to make room for many more, especially on weekends. Typical turnover at city and county jails is at least 35-40% of the inmate population each month, another 25-30% every 90 days, and another 15-20% every six months, with approximately 8-9% staying six to twelve months. Inmates held longer than twelve months usually face serious charges such as rape or murder. Because it takes longer to prepare those cases for trial, offenders arrested in this county remain in one of the Plumas County facilities much longer.
Every year, approximately 2,340 offenders are arrested and detained by Plumas County law enforcement agencies.
