Locate an inmate in the Maguire Correctional Facility by searching the Official Jail Inmate Roster, where you can view criminal charges, bond amounts, visiting eligibility, and mugshots. Or call the jail at 650-363-4000 to get the information over the phone. To locate a court, use the state’s list of courts for San Mateo County and every other county in California.

Maguire Correctional Facility Inmate Search

To find out whether you have an arrest warrant in San Mateo County or elsewhere in California, or to get details about a court case involving you or someone you know, a good first step is the California Superior Court.

California courts, including those in San Mateo County, must respect most criminal defendants’ constitutional right to bail before trial, with exceptions for certain capital and violent felony cases. The California Supreme Court has ruled that judges must consider whether the defendant can afford the bail amount, and should use less restrictive release conditions when they would protect the public and ensure a court appearance. Rule 4.101 also forbids judges from considering whether a defendant wants a jury trial.

The fastest way to get an inmate’s bail amount is to call the Maguire Correctional Facility at 650-363-4000. You can also look up the San Mateo County bail schedule if you know the crime the inmate was arrested for or accused of. The county accepts bail in cash, as a surety bond, or as a property bond.

The Maguire Correctional Facility is licensed for 1000 inmates at any given time, yet it is often forced to make room for many more offenders, especially on weekends. Most city and county jails in California turn over at least 35-40% of their population monthly, another 25-30% every 90 days, and another 15-20% every six months. Approximately 8-9% remain incarcerated between six and twelve months. Inmates who stay beyond 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 stay in custody at one of the San Mateo County facilities much longer.

Every year, San Mateo County law enforcement agencies arrest and detain approximately 48,760 offenders.

Paying bail for someone in custody in San Mateo County

Once someone is booked at Maguire Correctional Facility in Redwood City after an arrest, there are several outcomes:

1. They may be released without paying bail, agreeing to show up on a scheduled date.
2. They may remain in custody until their court appearance.
3. They can pay a bail or bond for release. Call 650-363-4000 for bail details.

Bail payments can take several forms.

• The full cash bond is paid at the jail's bonding window or at the clerk of court using cash, a cashier's check or a money order, while many jails add a card option at a lobby kiosk or through an online bond service for a fee; bring the inmate's full name and booking number, and call the jail at 650-363-4000 with questions.
• A licensed bail bond agent in San Mateo County can help cover bail.
• Many courts take real estate as security for a bond; the property owner must show clear title plus equity at least equal to the bond, often twice it, backed by a deed and a recent tax or appraisal value, and the court that set the bail gives final approval.
