How to Find an Inmate at Shasta County 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. County jail rosters typically list basic information such as the inmate’s name, booking date, listed charges, bail or court information when available, and current custody status. New bookings are not always searchable right away because intake, identification, medical screening, and data entry can take several hours. If a person was just arrested, check again later or contact the facility for guidance. Records may also change after court hearings, release, or transfer.
