Siskiyou County Jail Inmate Search
If you think you may have a warrant in Siskiyou County or elsewhere in California, or you need information about a court case involving you, a friend, or a family member, start with the California Superior Court.
Most people charged with a crime in Siskiyou County, and anywhere in California, have a constitutional right to be released on bail before trial, though there are exceptions for certain capital and violent felony cases. According to the California Supreme Court, judges must consider a defendant’s ability to pay, and can hold someone who can’t afford bail only if no less restrictive condition would protect public safety or ensure their return to court. Under Rule 4.101, judges also cannot consider whether a defendant has asked for a jury trial.
Find out an inmate’s bail by calling the Siskiyou County Jail at 530-842-8157. If you know the charge, you can also look up the standard amount on the Siskiyou County bail schedule. Cash, surety bonds, and property bonds are all accepted.
Licensed for 120 inmates, the Siskiyou County Jail often has to make room for many more offenders, especially on weekends. A typical city or county jail turns over at least 35-40% of its population every month, another 25-30% every 90 days, and another 15-20% every six months, with approximately 8-9% staying between six and twelve months. Inmates who stay longer than a year are usually facing serious charges like rape or murder. Because it takes longer to prepare those cases for trial, offenders arrested in this county remain in custody at one of the Siskiyou County facilities much longer.
Siskiyou County law enforcement agencies arrest and detain approximately 3,400 offenders each year.
The brick and glass building that creates the Siskiyou County Jail houses those who are arrested in Siskiyou County on either misdemeanor or felony charges throughout their wait for their trial and as they serve their sentence. It houses up to 104 inmates and functions as a self-contained community complete with medical section, kitchen for all meals, laundry, and other necessary services.
Along with general population housing for both male and female offenders it also contains the day reporting center and alternative sentencing areas.
To contact the facility and provide necessary information on an inmate or learn their status the staff can be reached by phone at 530-842-8157 and an online portal is provided.
Several classes and programs are available for all inmates including drug and alcohol groups, anger management, parenting, job readiness, therapy, journaling, and GED programs along with a gardening program, chickens, rabbit care, firewood for local vulnerable population, and woodworking.
Commissary items are available to ensure inmates have access to clothing and hygiene items they need as well as other items to improve the experience and this can be supported online by their friends or family who are not incarcerated.
All mail is addressed to:

What is the booking process for the Siskiyou County Jail?
After being arrested, the offender is brought to the Siskiyou County Jail for booking, which is the detailed process of identifying, classifying, deciding on charges, and whether the person will either be released on their own recognizance, allowed to be released on bail, or moved into the jail until their court date.
The first thing every newly arrested person must do is close their mouth. Everything an offender says may be used against them, so the best thing to do is remain silent when questioned about the arrest and what led to it.
These are the steps of booking someone into the Siskiyou County Jail:
- Personal identification.
- Mugshot(s).
- Questions about medical history, mental health, drug and alcohol use, and gang affiliations.
- Possible DNA.
- Full body search.
- Property forfeiture.
- Free phone call.
If you have any questions about when you can pay an offender's bond and what the cost will be, call the facility at 530-842-8157.
How do you pay bail for someone who has been arrested in Siskiyou County?
When an offender is arrested and brought to the Siskiyou County Jail in Yreka for booking, there are several outcomes after being processed.
1. The offender will be released with no bail, promising to return on a specific date to appear before a judge in either Municipal or Siskiyou County Court.
2. The offender is ordered to remain in jail until their court date.
3. The offender is allowed to be released after paying a specified bond or bail. Call 530-842-8157 to get the exact amount.
The payment of an offender's bail or bond can take many shapes.
- A cash bond is paid in full at the jail's bonding window or the clerk of court, usually by cash, cashier's check or money order, and many jails also take debit or credit cards through a lobby kiosk or an online bond vendor for an added fee; bring the inmate's full name and booking number, and the jail's number is 530-842-8157.
- It can be paid using a bail company, licensed to do business in Siskiyou County.
- Many courts accept land or a home as bond collateral; the owner shows clear title and equity of at least the bond amount, often double, using a deed and a recent tax or appraisal value, and the court that set bail approves the property.

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.
