Agents from the Marshals Service, the FBI, or Homeland Security Investigations make federal arrests, often alongside deputies. The county sits in the Sacramento Division of the Eastern District of California, so court dates happen in Sacramento, 501 I Street, Sacramento, CA 95814. Clerk staff in Sacramento answer at 916-930-4000. Soon after booking, the person meets a magistrate judge who explains the charges. Pretrial services interviews them and reports to the court. Release isn't set from a chart in federal cases. Using federal bail law, a judge runs a short hearing and decides detention or release.

• ICE hears about the arrest from fingerprints the jail take. Then ICE might place a detainer.
• With this hold, the Yuba City jail may keep them up to 48 hours past their usual release time. It's two straight days, measured from the usual release time. Holidays and weekends still count.
• Paying the bond does not clear the ICE hold.
• ICE officers sometimes pick them up in person during that window. If no ICE officer arrives, staff must release the person.
• Their next facility is ICE's call.

Prison time is spent under California's corrections department (CDCR). For now, they wait in the county jail while the CDCR finds a bed. The transfer ends at intake, where your loved one is processed. Prison staff review each person after checking physical and emotional health, security risk and any gang ties. The end point is the prison that fits them.

Check the CDCR online locator to find them. Our state prison page explains visits and mail.

No. The Sutter inmate lookup gives Sutter booking details without mugshots.

California's rule is Penal Code 13665. It covers social media posts. Most nonviolent arrests fall under it. Those mugshots can't go on social media. Posts must come down within 14 days. A judge can also allow a post. The sheriff's own website isn't covered. Most sheriffs in California skip photos anyway.

Journalists may ask for a booking photo that isn't public by phoning sheriff's staff at 530-822-7307. Families and the media can't see federal booking photos. Requests from families or reporters don't unlock it; the Marshals make one public only to find an escaped prisoner, when posting it would help police catch them or warn the community or when safety demands it right away. ICE pictures come out just via ICE's FOIA form, though release is not promised.
