Tehama County Jail Inmate Search
If you need to check on a warrant in Tehama County or anywhere in California, or find specific information about a court case involving you, a friend, or a relative, start with the California Superior Court.
California’s constitution guarantees most criminal defendants in Tehama County and elsewhere in the state the right to pretrial release on bail, with exceptions for certain capital and violent felony cases. The California Supreme Court has ruled that ability to pay must be part of every bail decision, and that less restrictive conditions should be used when they would protect the public and ensure the defendant appears in court. Judges may not consider a request for a jury trial when setting bail (Rule 4.101).
You can learn an inmate’s bail amount by calling the Tehama County Jail at 530-529-7910. As long as you know the charge, the bail schedule for Tehama County is another option. The county accepts cash, a surety bond, or a property bond.
With a licensed capacity of 227 inmates, the Tehama County Jail is often forced to make room for many more offenders, especially on weekends. Most city and county jails in California turn over at least 35-40% of their population every month. Another 25-30% turns over every 90 days and another 15-20% every six months, while about 8-9% stay between six and twelve months. Inmates held longer than twelve months are generally facing serious charges like rape or murder. Because those cases take longer to prepare for trial, offenders arrested in this county stay in custody at one of the Tehama County facilities much longer.
Every year, Tehama County law enforcement agencies arrest and detain approximately 6,340 offenders.
Built in 1974 and having a top capacity of 227 inmates, the Tehama County Jail, contactable at 530-529-7910, is the incarceration facility for Tehama County. Both those who are sentenced and those who have not been sentenced will remain at this location until they finish their sentence, meet bail, or are transferred or released. If you think someone you know may be incarcerated, there is an online lookup that will have their information including bail.
The Tehama County Jail is fully staffed and has kitchen and food services staff who produce around 600 meals each day to feed all residents three healthy meals, nurses to provide immediate medical care and access to doctors as needed, laundry and janitorial staff to maintain the cleanliness of the building.
Prescriptions are handed out as per instructed throughout four daily medication calls in the housing units, which includes any over the counter medications. Transportation is provided for any outside medical care necessary, any court dates, transfers, and other reasons that may require an inmate to leave the grounds.
Along with programs that support addictions recovery, rehabilitation, and recreation, there are also services that provide the support of friends and family through mail, phone calls, and visits.
Mail can be sent to:
Inmate's Full Name & Inmate ID#
Tehama County Jail
502 Oak Street
Red Bluff, CA 96080
... where it will be checked for contraband and any banned items before it is delivered to the inmate, and it must have a full return address. Books, newspapers, or magazines can only be delivered directly from the publisher or online services and will not be accepted otherwise.
Phones are present in common areas and can make collect calls, only during daytime hours, and no incoming calls are available.
For visits it is necessary to first request visits, and once you have been approved to visit you can schedule the visits in advance. Each inmate is permitted one visit of 30 minutes twice a week, while those who are in the inmate worker program will receive a one hour long visit twice a week.

Understanding the booking process at Tehama County Jail
After an arrest, individuals are taken to Tehama County Jail where they go through booking. This process includes identifying the person, reviewing charges, and determining whether they will be released on their own, eligible for bail, or detained until their court date.
It’s crucial to remain silent after being arrested. Anything said may be used in court, so it’s better to refrain from speaking until consulting with an attorney.
The following steps outline the booking procedure at Tehama County Jail:
- Personal identification verification.
- Taking photographs (mugshots).
- Medical and mental health assessment, as well as inquiries about substance use.
- Possibly collecting DNA samples.
- Performing a full-body search.
- Seizing personal belongings for safekeeping.
- Allowing one phone call.
Booking can take from a short hour to longer periods, especially on busy nights or with uncooperative individuals. For inquiries about posting bond for an arrestee, call the facility at 530-529-7910.
Paying bail for someone in custody in Tehama County
Once someone is booked at Tehama County Jail in Red Bluff after an arrest, there are several outcomes:
1. They may be released without paying bail, agreeing to show up on a scheduled date.
2. They may remain in custody until their court appearance.
3. They can pay a bail or bond for release. Call 530-529-7910 for bail details.
Bail payments can take several forms.
- The full cash bond is paid at the jail's bonding window or at the clerk of court using cash, a cashier's check or a money order, while many jails add a card option at a lobby kiosk or through an online bond service for a fee; bring the inmate's full name and booking number, and call the jail at 530-529-7910 with questions.
- A licensed bail bond agent in Tehama County can help cover bail.
- Many courts take real estate as security for a bond; the property owner must show clear title plus equity at least equal to the bond, often twice it, backed by a deed and a recent tax or appraisal value, and the court that set the bail gives final approval.
For detailed information about the bail process in Tehama County, California, see the Tehama County Jail Bail FAQ.
