The SDC-East is a detention center located at 200 E Hackett Rd Modesto, CA which is operated locally by the Stanislaus 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. Stanislaus County accepts inmates from surrounding towns, Modesto 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 Stanislaus County Sheriff's Detention Center - East, which opened on March 17, 2017, represents a significant advancement in the county's detention operations. Constructed under the auspices of State Assembly Bill 900—a public safety realignment initiative—this facility was the first project in California to be completed using AB 900 Phase II funds. With a capacity to house up to 559 incarcerated individuals, the facility includes two maximum security units, a 63-bed mental health unit, a 16-bed hospital unit, and a fully equipped medical clinic with a dental office.

The Sheriff's Detention Center - East also introduced a new operational philosophy known as "Open Booking." This innovative model allows individuals to be seated in an open area during the booking process, streamlining the intake procedure and enhancing the overall efficiency of the facility. In addition to its housing capabilities, SDCE is the primary booking and releasing center for both the East and West detention centers. This includes processing all new arrests and managing the release of inmates.

The facility's design reflects a commitment to addressing both the medical and mental health needs of those in custody. The dedicated mental/medical unit and hospital beds provide comprehensive care, while the medical clinic and dental office ensure that all necessary health services are available on-site.

Incarcerated individuals may also have access to the Jail Alternatives Program, which allows them to serve their sentences while maintaining employment, thereby supporting their families financially. The development and management of these programs fall under the purview of the Facility Commander or a designated representative. Staff members play a crucial role by providing feedback on existing programs and suggesting improvements or new initiatives.

Programs are generally available within the housing units, and the Chaplain may visit these areas to assist with specific issues affecting inmates' adjustment to custody. Participation in facility programs is open to all inmates, regardless of race, national origin, creed, gender, economic status, or political beliefs. Educational offerings include the Breaking Barriers Program, high school equivalency classes, E.L.S.E., and parenting courses. Substance abuse programs such as Alcoholics Anonymous, Women of Wisdom, and Narcotics Anonymous are also available to support recovery efforts.

The camp 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.

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.
