Siskiyou County Jail Inmate Search

To look into a possible warrant in Siskiyou County or anywhere in California, or to get information about a court case involving you, a friend, or a relative, start with the California Superior Court.

Most criminal defendants in Siskiyou County and across California are constitutionally entitled to bail before trial, with exceptions for certain capital and violent felony cases. The California Supreme Court has held that judges must consider a defendant’s ability to pay, and can detain someone who can’t afford bail only if no less restrictive alternative would protect public safety or ensure their appearance in court. Judges also cannot take into account whether the defendant wants a jury trial (Rule 4.101).

Calling the jail at 530-842-8157 is the easiest way to learn an inmate’s bail at the Siskiyou County Jail. If you know the crime the inmate is accused of, you can also check the Siskiyou County bail schedule yourself. The county accepts cash, a surety bond, or a property bond.

The Siskiyou County Jail is licensed to house 120 inmates, but it is often forced to hold many more, particularly on weekends. Across most city and county jails in California, at least 35-40% of inmates turn over within a month, another 25-30% within 90 days, and another 15-20% within six months, and about 8-9% stay six to twelve months. When an inmate is held longer than twelve months, it’s usually because they face a serious charge like rape or murder. Those cases take time to prepare for trial, so offenders arrested in this county remain in one of the Siskiyou County facilities much longer.

Each year, approximately 3,400 offenders are arrested and detained by Siskiyou County law enforcement agencies.

How to post bail for a loved one in Siskiyou County

Once booked at Siskiyou County Jail in Yreka, the individual has several possible outcomes:

1. Release without posting bail, with a commitment to appear in court.
2. Remaining in custody until their court date.
3. Posting bail or bond for release. For the exact amount, call 530-842-8157.

Several payment methods are available for bail.

• Cash bonds are settled in full at the jail's bonding window or the clerk of court with cash, a cashier's check or a money order, and card payments are often available at a lobby kiosk or through an online bond vendor for a fee; bring the inmate's full name and booking number, and the jail can be reached at 530-842-8157.
• Licensed bail bondsmen in Siskiyou County can assist with the process.
• Many courts accept land or a house as bond collateral; the owner proves clear title and equity worth at least the bond amount, often double, with a deed and a recent tax or appraisal value, and the court that set bail approves the property.

How Do You Deposit Money for an Inmate in the Siskiyou County Jail?

There are FOUR options for putting money on an inmate's books:

Option 1 - Dropping Money at the Jail
Bring money to the jail in person. 
Either the jail personnel will process the Inmate Account payment or you will use a Jail ATM self-serve kiosk in the lobbies that accepts cash, debit or credit cards.

Option 2 - Deposit Inmate Money Online
Siskiyou County Jail uses Jail ATM to process all online deposits to an inmate's account. The company charges you a small fee for doing so, but the fee probably isn't as much as gas and parking would cost to take it to the jail in person.

Option 3 - Mail the Inmate Deposit to the Jail
Mailing a deposit takes more time to process than the other methods but can be done if you live too far away to bring it in person and you don't have a debit/credit card for online deposits. Never send cash. Always send a Money Order from the US Post Office, a reputable bank or Western Union. Call the Siskiyou County Jail first as they may want you to do this online or at the jail kiosk instead.
Make the Money Order out to the payee the jail names (check with the jail first) and put their Inmate ID# in memo section of the Money Order. Never mail cash or a personal check.
