Contact and Location Information
How to Find an Inmate at Pomona Jail
Members of the public can look for someone in custody by using the official inmate search link available on this page for the facility’s roster. Inmate rosters typically list the person’s name, booking date, charges, custody status, and sometimes housing or court information. Records do not always appear immediately after an arrest because booking, identity checks, and system updates can take several hours. If a person is not listed, check again later or contact the facility or the Los Angeles County jail system, especially if the person may have been transferred after initial booking.
FAQs
How do I visit an inmate at Pomona Jail?
Call the facility or check the official information on this page before visiting, because visiting hours and rules can change. Visits are usually limited to approved times, and inmates may not be eligible for visits until intake is complete.
What do I need to bring when visiting Pomona Jail?
Visitors generally need a valid government-issued photo ID, such as a driver license, state ID, passport, or military ID. Do not bring prohibited items, and expect security screening before entering the visiting area.
How do I make phone or video calls with an inmate?
Inmates usually cannot receive incoming calls, but they may be able to place outgoing calls after booking. Phone or video services, if available, are normally handled through an approved vendor, and family members may need to create an account or add funds.
How do I send mail to an inmate?
Use the inmate’s full legal name and booking information when addressing mail. Mail is usually inspected for safety, and items such as cash, stickers, Polaroid photos, or anything considered contraband may be rejected.
How does the commissary work?
Commissary allows inmates to buy approved items such as snacks, hygiene products, and writing supplies when the service is available. Funds are usually deposited through an approved payment system, but availability may depend on how long the person remains in custody.
How is bail set and how do I post bond at Pomona Jail?
Bail may be set by a court schedule, a judge, or the charges and warrants involved. Bail can often be paid directly if accepted, or a licensed bail agent may post a surety bond; contact the facility or court to confirm the amount and accepted payment methods.
What happens during the intake process at Pomona Jail and when will the inmate appear in the system?
During intake, staff confirm identity, record charges, check warrants, collect property, and determine custody or release options. This process can take several hours, so the inmate may not appear in the search system immediately after arrest.
