Contact and Location Information
How to Find an Inmate at Solano County Juvenile Hall
Juvenile custody records in California are often confidential, so a public roster may be limited or unavailable. When a roster is available, it typically lists basic custody details such as name, booking date, alleged charges or case type, and custody status, but information about minors may be restricted by law. New bookings usually take several hours to process, so records may not appear immediately after arrival. Use the official inmate search link available on this page for any public roster information for the facility. If the person does not appear, contact the facility, the Solano County Probation Department, or the juvenile court for guidance on what information can be released.

What happens during the intake process at Solano County Juvenile Hall and when will the inmate appear in the system?
During intake, staff confirm identity, review the reason for detention, complete screening, and notify the appropriate parties as required. Processing can take several hours, and because juvenile records are confidential, the youth may not appear in a public search system.
