Mother Lode Regional Juvenile Detention Facility Inmate Search

Wondering whether there’s a warrant for your arrest in Tuolumne County or anywhere in California? Looking for details on a court case that involves you or someone close to you? Begin with the California Superior Court.

In Tuolumne County and all other California courts, most people charged with a crime have a constitutional right to pretrial release on bail, except in 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. Judges also cannot consider a defendant’s request for a jury trial when setting bail, under Rule 4.101.

Call the Mother Lode Regional Juvenile Detention Facility at 209-533-7500 to find out an inmate’s bail. If you know what the inmate was arrested for, you can also look up the amount on the Tuolumne County bail schedule. This county accepts cash, a surety bond, or a property bond.

The Mother Lode Regional Juvenile Detention Facility is licensed for 30 inmates, but it often has to make room for many more, especially on weekends. At most city and county jails in California, the inmate population turns over at least 35-40% each month, another 25-30% every 90 days, and another 15-20% every six months, and approximately 8-9% remain in custody for six to twelve months. Inmates held longer than twelve months are usually facing serious charges such as rape or murder. Because those cases take longer to prepare for trial, offenders arrested in this county remain in one of the Tuolumne County facilities much longer.

Every year, approximately 5,200 offenders are arrested and detained by Tuolumne County law enforcement agencies.

How to pay bail in Tuolumne County for an arrestee

Once an individual is booked at Mother Lode Regional Juvenile Detention Facility in Sonora, options for their release include:

1. Release without paying bail, with a commitment to appear in court.
2. Continued detention until their court date.
3. Release upon paying a bail or bond. Call 209-533-7500 for the bail amount.

Bail can be paid through various methods.

• Bring the full cash bond to the jail's bonding window or the clerk of court and pay by cash, cashier's check or money order; many jails also take debit or credit cards for a fee through a lobby kiosk or an online bond vendor, and staff will need the inmate's full name and booking number (jail: 209-533-7500).
• A licensed bail bondsman in Tuolumne County can assist with the process.
• An owner can often pledge land or a home as bond collateral by proving clear title and equity worth at least the bond, frequently double the bond, with a deed and a recent tax or appraisal value; the court that set bail must approve the property before release.
