The California Superior Court is a good starting point if you need to know whether you have a warrant in Sutter County or anywhere in California, or if you need information about a court case involving you, a friend, or a relative.
Most criminal defendants in Sutter County, like those across California, have a constitutional right to pretrial release on bail, with exceptions for certain capital and violent felony cases. The California Supreme Court requires judges to consider a defendant’s ability to pay and prohibits detaining someone solely because they can’t afford bail unless no less restrictive option would protect public safety or ensure their appearance. Under Rule 4.101, judges also cannot consider whether the defendant has asked for a jury trial.
The best way to find out an inmate’s bail at the Sutter County Jail is to call 530-822-7300. If you know the crime the inmate was arrested for, you can also look it up on the Sutter County bail schedule. The county accepts bail in the form of cash, a surety bond, or a property bond.
The Sutter County Jail’s licensed capacity is 300 inmates, but it often has to take in many more offenders, especially on weekends. Most city and county jails in California turn over at least 35-40% of their population each month, another 25-30% every 90 days, and another 15-20% every six months, while about 8-9% stay incarcerated between six and twelve months. Inmates held longer than twelve months are usually facing serious charges such as rape or murder. Those cases take longer to prepare for trial, so offenders arrested in this county remain at one of the Sutter County facilities much longer.
Each year, Sutter County law enforcement agencies arrest and detain approximately 8,180 offenders.
The Sutter County Jail in California has a capacity of 300 inmates. The Sutter County Jail is located at 1077 Civic Center Boulevard, Yuba City, CA 95991. The facility can be contacted by phone at 530-822-7300.

The Sheriff's Office receives money for a variety of purposes and programs including Jail Booking Fees (2-301) and Rural County Sheriff's funding (2-201). A Jail Facilities Needs Assessment was conducted to project jail bed requirements based on the county population. Inmates can report any issues to the Sutter County Sheriff's Office.
The Sutter County Jail has four basic units: Juvenile Services, Adult Services, Administrative Services, and Prevention Services. There are many reports that the jail is aging and becoming increasingly overcrowded, with special needs inmates having to be separated from general inmates. Like most jails, the Yuba County Sheriff's Office does not separate pre-sentenced from sentenced inmates or special needs from general inmates. This can create constant friction between various gangs within the jail.
