Sonoma North County Detention Facility Inmate Search

If there may be a warrant for your arrest in Sonoma County or anywhere in California, or you need information about a court case involving you, a friend, or a relative, the California Superior Court is a good place to start.

Most criminal defendants in Sonoma County, as in the rest of California, have a constitutional right to pretrial release on bail, though certain capital and violent felony cases are excluded. The California Supreme Court has made clear that bail must reflect a defendant’s ability to pay, and that no one can be held just because they can’t afford bail unless a judge finds no less restrictive condition would keep the public safe or ensure a court appearance. Judges also may not factor in whether the defendant wants a jury trial (Rule 4.101).

For an inmate’s bail amount, the simplest option is to call the Sonoma North County Detention Facility at 707-565-1400. If you know the offense they were arrested for, you can also find it on the Sonoma County bail schedule. Cash, surety bonds, and property bonds are all accepted in this county.

The Sonoma North County Detention Facility is licensed for 387 inmates, but it often has to make room for many more, especially on weekends. At most city and county jails in California, at least 35-40% of inmates turn over every month, 25-30% more every 90 days, and 15-20% more every six months. About 8-9% stay incarcerated six to twelve months. Those held longer than twelve months are usually facing serious charges such as rape or murder, and because those cases take longer to prepare for trial, offenders arrested in this county remain in one of the Sonoma County facilities much longer.

Sonoma County law enforcement agencies arrest and detain approximately 24,840 offenders annually.
