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.
