Contact and Location Information
How to Find an Inmate at Riverside Regional Jail
Members of the public can look for an inmate using the official inmate search link available on this page for the facility’s roster. Jail rosters typically list basic custody information such as the inmate’s name, booking date, charges, bond information when available, and current custody status. New bookings do not always appear right away because intake, identification, classification, and record entry can take several hours. If a person was just arrested, check again later or contact the facility directly for general custody information. Records may also change after court hearings, transfers, releases, or updated charges.

How is bail set and how do I post bond at Riverside Regional Jail?

What happens during the intake process at Riverside Regional Jail and when will the inmate appear in the system?
During intake, staff confirm identity, record charges, review medical and safety information, classify the inmate, and assign housing. Records may take several hours to appear in the search system, so a recent arrest may not be searchable immediately.
