How to Find an Inmate at Wayne Brown Correctional Facility
Members of the public can look for a person in custody by using the official inmate search link available on this page for the facility’s roster. County jail rosters typically list basic custody information such as the inmate’s name, booking date, charges, bail or release information when available, and current custody status. Records usually become searchable only after booking and processing are completed. This can take several hours, so a person who was recently arrested may not appear immediately. If the online search does not show a result, check again later or contact the facility or Nevada County Sheriff’s Office for current custody information.
