The South Placer Jail is a detention center located at 11801 Go For Broke Rd Roseville, CA which is operated locally by the Sacramento County Sheriff's Office and holds inmates awaiting trial or sentencing or both. Most of the sentenced inmates are here for less than two years. Sacramento County accepts inmates from surrounding towns, Roseville Police Department, and the US Marshal's Service.

New detainees arrive at the jail regularly, with some being released on bail, placed under pretrial services caseloads, supervised by probation agencies, or released on recognizance with a court appearance agreement. Those who are not released await their court appearances at the jail, receiving accommodations including bedding and meals.

Placer County embarked on the construction of a new jail facility in 2008, prompted by an assessment that highlighted the need for additional jail capacity to accommodate future growth. The South Placer Jail, located within the Santucci Justice Center, is a key component of a larger, multi-year development plan designed to meet the evolving needs of county residents.

Phase one of the South Placer Jail was substantially completed in 2012, resulting in a facility that spans approximately 200,000 square feet and has a rated capacity of 420 inmates. This initial phase includes a main jail and minimum-security complex, along with essential infrastructure such as a kitchen and laundry facility, program services space, visitor and video visitation technology, a medical services unit, an intake and booking unit, and support services office space. The facility's design and larger infrastructure were pre-planned to support future expansion, reducing the overall costs associated with increasing bed capacity as the county's needs grow. Ultimately, the South Placer Jail is envisioned to become a 319,000-square-foot facility with a capacity for 980 inmates.

The jail's development coincided with significant legislative changes in California. In 2011, the California Legislature passed the Realignment legislation (AB 109), which significantly impacted jail populations across the state. By the time the South Placer Jail was completed in 2012, the Auburn Jail was already experiencing population pressures due to Realignment, leading to the early release of many inmates. However, economic challenges at the time delayed the opening of the new facility, as sustainable funding was not yet available. This situation improved in late 2013, following extensive budget discussions and assessments concerning Realignment, public safety, and the overall health of the local criminal justice system.

Operations at the South Placer Jail officially began during the fiscal year 2013/2014. The phased opening included a 4-pod housing unit in the main jail and two minimum-security pods, providing an initial capacity of 240 inmates. Plans for further expansion of the facility's bed space are in place, contingent upon the availability of sustainable funding.

As part of this strategic, multi-year approach, the aging Auburn Minimum Security facility, which had served the county since 1983, was closed in 2014. The World War II-era facility was no longer cost-effective or safe to operate as a detention center. To support the opening of the South Placer Jail, staff from the Auburn facility, including Correctional Officers, Deputy Sheriffs, support services staff, and contracted medical and programs personnel, were transferred to the new jail. This transfer helped to offset the costs associated with launching operations at the South Placer Jail, ensuring a smooth transition and continuity of services within the county's correctional system.

The jail offers a phone program for outbound calls only, with inmates unable to receive incoming calls. Accepting collect calls can be expensive, sometimes exceeding $10 per call. Alternatively, setting up an account through a third-party phone company may entail high fees per minute of usage. Click here for discounts on inmate calls, especially if the communication with your inmate is frequent. It's important to remember that all phone calls are recorded, and discussing sensitive legal matters over these lines is discouraged.

After processing, inmates are assigned to a housing area based on classification. Compliance with jail rules typically results in a lower classification and more privileges, while rule violations or additional charges lead to a higher classification and fewer privileges. Inmates serving as trustees within the jail undertake various tasks, including cooking, laundry, and commissary management, often receiving minimal compensation or sentence reduction for their services.

Books and magazines ordered for inmates must come directly from the publisher. This policy ensures that the items are new, untampered, and comply with the facility's regulations. The Jail enforces this rule to prevent the introduction of contraband or prohibited materials. By restricting orders to publishers, the facility can better maintain security and control over the content entering the institution. Any books or magazines not received directly from the publisher will be rejected and not delivered to the inmate. You may, however, send letters and selfies to inmates with this easy-to-use app, packages starting at only $8.00.

Inmate workers are chosen based on conduct and cooperation with staff. Participation in the community service program can sometimes reduce sentences. Commissary is available weekly, with orders submitted via kiosk two days in advance. On holidays, there may be increased spending limits. Upon receiving commissary items, inmates must present their ID, check their order, and sign for it in the presence of the commissary employee. Indigent inmates are provided with all essential basic hygiene items including USPS stamps and writing materials.
