How to Find an Inmate at Golden State Modified Community Correctional Facility
To find an inmate at Golden State Modified Community Correctional Facility, use the official inmate search link available on this page. Inmate rosters and locator records typically list the person’s name, identification number, booking or custody date, assigned location, charges or commitment information when available, and current custody status. Records do not always appear immediately after a person is received. Processing, identity checks, and data entry can take several hours, so a newly booked or transferred inmate may not be searchable right away. If the person does not appear in the roster, check again later or contact the facility or the responsible corrections agency for guidance.

How is bail set and how do I post bond at Golden State Modified Community Correctional Facility?
Bail is set by the court, not by the facility. Because this type of facility generally houses sentenced inmates, bail may not apply; if there is an active court case, contact the court or the responsible law enforcement agency for bond instructions.
What happens during the intake process at Golden State Modified Community Correctional Facility and when will the inmate appear in the system?
