The Sacramento Co Jail is a detention center located at 651 I St Sacramento, 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, Sacramento 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.
The Sacramento County Main Jail prioritizes safety and security for the public, inmates, and staff within its facilities. It is committed to providing necessary support services to ensure compliance with all relevant laws, codes, and ordinances regarding the treatment and care of individuals in its custody.
The Main Jail offers custodial and security services for incarcerated and it bears responsibility for the well-being of those housed within its walls, as well as the safety of the employees working within its division. Inmates have access to a commissary program where they can purchase a selection of food, personal hygiene items, writing materials, and some art supplies, provided they have funds in their accounts.
Commissary orders must be funded from an individual's Trust Account before 7:00 am Sunday. Times for deposits and orders are subject to change without prior notice. Adult Correctional Health provides mandated healthcare services to adult inmates, covering physical health, behavioral health, dental, pharmaceutical, and ancillary services. In emergencies, the Main Jail Social Worker or Jail Chaplain can be contacted during specified hours.
Inmates at this facility are assigned housing based on their classification following processing. Those who comply with facility rules are often classified at a lower level, which grants them additional privileges, while those who violate rules or face new charges may be classified at a higher level, resulting in fewer privileges. Trustees within the facility undertake tasks such as cooking, laundry, and managing commissary services, sometimes receiving minimal compensation or a reduction in their sentences for their efforts.
The facility is structured with "pods," which are large common areas with affixed tables and individual cells, typically arranged on two levels. Inmates spend part of their time in their cells and part in the common area, engaging in activities such as playing cards, reading, or watching television. Movement outside the pod, such as trips to the commissary, library, or recreation area, is closely supervised by unarmed correctional officers. The environment in the county jail is generally less stressful than that of a prison due to the shorter sentences served by inmates.
The jail offers a phone program for outbound calls only, with no incoming calls allowed. Collect calls can be expensive, sometimes exceeding $10 per call, and setting up an account through a third-party provider may also result in high per-minute fees. Click here for discounts on inmate calls, All phone calls are recorded, and it is advised not to discuss sensitive legal matters over the phone.
To ensure security, books and magazines ordered for inmates must be sent directly from the publisher, guaranteeing that the items are new, untampered, and comply with facility regulations. Any books or magazines not received directly from the publisher will be rejected. However, letters and selfies to inmates can be sent to inmates through a convenient app, with packages starting at $8.00.
Inmate workers are selected based on conduct and cooperation with staff, and participation in the community service program can sometimes lead to reduced sentences. Commissary is available weekly, with orders placed via kiosk two days in advance. Spending limits may increase on holidays. Upon receiving their commissary items, inmates must present identification, verify their orders, and sign for them in the presence of the commissary employee. Indigent inmates are provided with essential hygiene items, USPS stamps, and writing materials.
