Riverside County Inmate Lookup, Booking Details and Criminal Case Search
Trying to confirm a recent Riverside County arrest? Use this guide to locate the booking, identify the correct jail, read bail and court fields, arrange a visit, send money or mail, find legal help and verify the case through Riverside Superior Court.
Choose the Record That Answers Your Question
Search the Sheriff’s locator first, but allow time for intake, fingerprinting and entry into the public system.
The official inmate result can show the present facility, booking number, arrest details, bail and next court information.
Use Riverside Superior Court Public Access. A fee may apply to some criminal or traffic name searches.
Use the California DOJ fingerprint-based Record Review process rather than a public inmate or court search.
Confirm the facility first, then call its visiting number from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. one day before the desired visit.
Use Access Corrections online, by phone, at a facility kiosk or by U.S. Postal Money Order.
Contact the Riverside County Public Defender office serving the court region where the case is pending.
Use the Public Defender’s Fresh Start Program or Riverside Superior Court expungement guidance.

This tool does not ask for a person’s name, birth date or booking number. It simply routes you to the correct official service.
Search Riverside County Arrest Records by Name
The Sheriff’s Inmate Information System is the fastest official starting point for a person currently in Riverside County jail custody. The last name is mandatory; first name and date of birth can narrow the result.
Search Tips That Usually Fix “No Result”
Which Riverside County Jail Holds the Inmate?
Riverside County Sheriff operates five correctional facilities. The inmate locator controls; do not assume the closest jail to the arrest location is the current facility.
Facility | Physical address | Main phone | Visit route |
|---|---|---|---|
260 N. Spring Street, Blythe, CA 92225 | Confirm the live facility page and call the published scheduling number from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. one day before the visit. | ||
30755-B Auld Road, Murrieta, CA 92563 | 951-696-3470, 9 a.m.–5 p.m. | ||
82675 State Highway 111, Indio, CA 92201 | 760-863-8540, 9 a.m.–5 p.m. | ||
1627 S. Hargrave Street, Banning, CA 92220 | 951-922-7540, 9 a.m.–5 p.m. | ||
4000 Orange Street, Riverside, CA 92501 | 951-341-8888, 9 a.m.–5 p.m. |
Read Bail, Holds and the Next Court Date Correctly
The inmate detail may display a bail amount and court date, but release can still depend on the charge, court order, additional cases, warrants, holds and facility processing.
Confirm that the amount is current and applies to every listed case. A separate hold or warrant can prevent release.
The court may need to address release, or the matter may have a restriction not explained by the public summary. Contact counsel or the facility.
Ask whether payment was accepted, another case or hold exists, and whether release paperwork is still being processed.

Use the court’s copy-request process and the current RI-MC011 instructions rather than printing the public index page.

A newly arrested person may not appear immediately while intake, fingerprinting and data entry are being completed. Search again using the surname only and contact the arresting agency or likely jail when the matter is urgent.
What information appears in the Riverside County inmate locator?
A matching detail page may show the booking number, arrest and booking information, arresting agency, current facility, charges, bail amount, next court date, court name and release information.
