Within Yolo County the regulations surrounding the juvenile detention facility vary from others in that it is not intended or permitted to be jail-like, but rather is to maintain a homey feel and appearance. California law requires all detention facilities for young offenders to offer rehabilitation, growth, and healing rather than focus on punishments and harsh living conditions. The goal is for each student to exit the facility more prepared for success than when they arrive, to maintain their health care and improve mental health, provide treatments for any substance abuse concerns, and provide life skills.
Yolo County Office of Education offers a well-rounded education with all core subjects, physical education, and health classes to ensure each student maintains their progress during detention. Parenting skills, religious programming, arts and crafts, and group activities are all available to help enrich the learning environment and the experiences of being detained.
Phones: Phones are provided for detained youth to call their parents and guardians, as well as to contact their attorney or other professionals involved in their case, during their free or approved hours. Incoming calls are not accepted.

Yolo County Juvenile Detention Facility Inmate Search
The California Superior Court is a good starting point if you need to know whether you have a warrant in Yolo 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 Yolo 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 Yolo County Juvenile Detention Facility is to call 530-406-5300. If you know the crime the inmate was arrested for, you can also look it up on the Yolo County bail schedule. The county accepts bail in the form of cash, a surety bond, or a property bond.
The Yolo County Juvenile Detention Facility’s licensed capacity is 90 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 Yolo County facilities much longer.
Each year, Yolo County law enforcement agencies arrest and detain approximately 13,900 offenders.
After being arrested, the offender is brought to the Yolo County Juvenile Detention Facility for booking, which is the detailed process of identifying, classifying, deciding on charges, and whether the person will either be released on their own recognizance, allowed to be released on bail, or moved into the jail until their court date.
The first thing every newly arrested person must do is close their mouth. Everything an offender says may be used against them, so the best thing to do is remain silent when questioned about the arrest and what led to it.
These are the steps of booking someone into the Yolo County Juvenile Detention Facility:
Booking can take as little as an hour, or up to 48 hours on a busy weekend or holiday evening, or if the offender is violent, wasted or generally uncooperative. If you have any questions about when you can pay an offender's bond and what the cost will be, call the facility at 530-406-5300.
