Placer County Jail Roster
The official current-custody channel is the Placer County Sheriff's Office Who's In Custody portal. The county Corrections page describes it as the place to view the most recent inmate information, and it is the first stop for people booked into Auburn Jail or South Placer Jail. The portal is hosted outside the main county website as an ATIMS/LE web application. Because the visible controls are rendered by JavaScript, static research did not confirm the exact field labels shown to the public. Treat it as the live county roster, but avoid assuming that every possible field is displayed.
Placer County inmate records on the roster are local jail records. They are not the same as a state prison profile, a federal inmate locator result, or an immigration detention record. A person arrested by a city police department in Roseville, Rocklin, Lincoln, Loomis, Auburn, or another local agency may still be booked into the sheriff's jail system. Once a felony sentence sends the person to state prison, the search shifts to CDCR CIRIS. Federal and immigration cases use separate locators and may not appear on the Placer County jail roster at all.
Roster note: If a same-day arrest does not appear online, call Auburn Jail or South Placer Jail before assuming the person has been released.
Use Placer County Inmate Search
Start with official channels because they identify which agency controls the record. The sheriff's Corrections page links to Who's In Custody and also lists the county's jail contacts. If the roster fails, the next useful step is not a commercial database. Call the jail, check whether the person may have been transferred, then use the sheriff's NextRequest public-records portal for booking records that are not visible online.
- Open the official Who's In Custody portal from the Placer County Sheriff's Office Corrections page or go directly to the roster.
- Search for the person in current county custody. Use the most exact name details available, since the static research did not confirm alternate search filters.
- If the person is not found, call Auburn Jail at 530-745-8500 or South Placer Jail at 916-409-8100 and ask which facility, if any, has current custody.
- For records no longer shown online, submit a public-records request through PCSO NextRequest with the person's full name, approximate booking date, jail ID or case number if known, and the booking agency if known.
- If the case may be state, federal, or immigration custody, switch to CDCR CIRIS, BOP, ICE ODLS, or VINELink as appropriate.
The Placer County Sheriff mobile app exists on Google Play and the Apple App Store developer page. App-store text reviewed for the research described public-safety news, tips, reporting, and information. It did not confirm an app-only inmate roster or warrant lookup, so use the official roster and jail phones for custody checks.
Placer County Roster Fields
The roster's exact public labels could not be verified from static HTML because the form is rendered in the browser. That matters. Placer County inmate records should not be described as having a guaranteed last-name field, booking-number field, photo field, or facility dropdown unless a rendered record confirms it. The reliable fact is narrower: the sheriff points the public to the Who's In Custody portal for current inmate information.
| Field Label | Type | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Field labels not visible in static research | JavaScript-rendered form | Unspecified | The official portal served an application shell, so exact search labels were not harvested. |
| Search or submit controls | JavaScript-rendered buttons | Unspecified | Use the live official portal and follow the displayed controls. |
For a wider record request, California law supports access to specified arrest information when no exception applies. The public categories can include name, physical description, arrest and booking times, current holding location or release manner, bail amount, and charges or holds. Those categories do not prove every item appears on the online roster. They do help frame what to request from PCSO when the roster is incomplete.
Placer County Inmate Profile
Research did not capture a live Placer County inmate profile, so exact public display fields are not assumed. The inventory below combines the county rulebook reference to a jail identification number or P# with California arrest-disclosure categories and the Placer bail page. Use it as a practical field map for reading or requesting Placer County inmate records, not as a promise that each field is visible in the roster view.
| Field | What It Shows |
|---|---|
| Name | The person booked or held in Placer County jail custody. |
| Jail ID or booking number | The inmate rulebook refers to a Jail Identification Number or P# used in jail systems. |
| Booking date and time | A core arrest-disclosure category under California Government Code 7923.610. |
| Current facility | Auburn Jail or South Placer Jail when the person is in county custody. |
| Charges or holds | Arrest charges, warrants, probation holds, parole holds, or other custody bases if disclosed. |
| Bail | Bail amount may be public and is part of the information Placer gives licensed bail agents. |
| Court date or department | The bail page says bail agents may receive court date, court department, and case number. |
| Mugshot | Not confirmed on the public roster from static research. Request through PCSO if not visible. |
| Housing location | Not confirmed in static roster research and may be limited for safety or facility reasons. |
Placer County Custody Channels
Most failed inmate searches come from using the right name in the wrong system. Placer County's roster covers county jail custody. CDCR CIRIS covers sentenced state prisoners. The Federal Bureau of Prisons inmate locator covers sentenced federal prisoners and some released federal records, but federal pretrial detainees may instead be handled through U.S. Marshals or federal court channels. ICE custody is searched through the ICE Online Detainee Locator System, which requires an A-number or exact biographical information plus country of birth.
| Custody Type | Where to Look | Placer County Caveat |
|---|---|---|
| Pretrial or county sentence | Placer Who's In Custody | Use jail phones if a new booking is not listed. |
| State prison sentence | CDCR CIRIS | No adult CDCR prison was identified inside Placer County. |
| Custody notification | VINELink | Useful for alerts, but not a replacement for the sheriff or court record. |
| Federal sentence | BOP Inmate Locator | Federal pretrial custody may not appear in BOP. |
| Immigration detention | ICE ODLS | ODLS does not search minors under 18. |
Placer County Jail Facilities
The Placer County Sheriff's Office Corrections Division operates two county jail facilities. Auburn Jail is the older primary jail and remains the first facility listed on the county Corrections page. South Placer Jail is the newer Roseville facility at the Santucci Justice Center. Both can hold pretrial detainees, sentenced county jail inmates, and people booked by Placer County agencies, but routing can depend on arrest location, classification, capacity, medical needs, and operations.
Auburn Jail

Auburn, CA 95603
530-745-8500
Primary jail contact and official Who's In Custody phone fallback.
South Placer Jail

Newer jail facility with intake, booking, medical, programs, and video visitation space.
Placer County Booking Process
A Placer County jail record starts after arrest and transport to a booking or intake unit. South Placer Jail's official page confirms an intake and booking unit, and both jail phone numbers are the practical public channels when a person has just been arrested. Booking can include identification, jail ID or P# creation, property intake, photo and fingerprint processing, medical and mental-health screening, classification, and housing assignment. The county has not published a precise roster refresh interval in the captured sources.
Classification is a jail term for deciding where a person is housed and what security level applies. The Placer rulebook says classification considers current behavior and attitude, charges, past criminal history, and past behavior in Placer or other facilities. A person can move between Auburn Jail and South Placer Jail after booking. That is why the roster, jail phones, and records request path should be used together when the first search does not match what family or counsel expects.
- Booking
- Administrative jail intake after arrest.
- Jail ID or P#
- Placer jail identifier referenced in the inmate rulebook.
- Classification
- Housing and security assignment based on jail factors.
- Detainer
- A hold or request from another agency that can affect release.
Placer County Visitation Rules
The sheriff's jail video visitation page controls visiting rules for Auburn Jail and South Placer Jail. On-site and remote video visits are available through IC Solutions scheduling. Personal visitors must check in at least 30 minutes before the visit start time, bring valid photo ID, pass through a walk-through metal detector, and follow restrictions on phones, tablets, computers, and other devices in visiting areas. Visitors under 18 must be with a responsible adult.
| Rule | Placer County Detail |
|---|---|
| Check-in | At least 30 minutes before the visit start time. |
| Visitor limit | Two adults and one minor child, or one adult and two minor children. |
| Recent custody rule | Personal visitors cannot visit if in custody within the past 120 days, including same-day book and release. |
| Felony state-prison history | Penal Code 4571 requires written commander consent to be on jail grounds after serving state prison time. |
| Devices | No cell phones, computers, tablets, or smartphones in visiting areas. |
Contact Placer County Inmates
Mail rules changed in 2026. Beginning March 24, 2026, personal and business mail for Placer County Sheriff's Office Corrections facilities goes to Smart Communications MailGuard for scanning, not directly to the jail address. The mailing format is Smart Communications / Placer County followed by either Auburn Jail or South Placer Jail, the inmate's name and inmate number, PO Box 9229, Seminole, FL 33775-9229. Legal mail and court documents still use the physical jail addresses. Released people retain SmartInmate mail access for 30 days.
Phone, video, tablet, and commissary access depends on the jail's vendor systems and the inmate's status. The rulebook says the first phone or video login uses a 10-digit passcode made from the last six digits of the P# plus a four-digit PIN created during enrollment. Confirm custody before setting up a visit, sending mail, or funding an account, especially when the booking is new or court release may occur soon.
Placer County Commissary Funds
The official inmate information page and rulebook describe several money channels. Online commissary orders go through MyCarePack. Phone deposits use Smart Deposit or Access Corrections at 866-394-0490. Lobby kiosks accept cash, credit cards, and permanent bank ATM or debit cards. The web page says money orders or cashier's checks may be up to $175 each, while the rulebook states $150 per check or money order, so verify the current limit before sending funds.
| Gross Amount Deposited | Web | Phone | Credit at Lobby | Cash at Lobby |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| $0.01-$19.99 | $3.95 | $4.95 | $4.00 | $4.00 |
| $20.00-$99.99 | $6.95 | $7.95 | $4.00 | $4.00 |
| $100.00-$199.99 | $8.95 | $9.95 | $4.00 | $4.00 |
| $200.00-$300.00 | $10.95 | $11.95 | $4.00 | $4.00 |
Note: Verify custody with the jail before sending money, since release, transfer, or rebooking can change account access.
