When someone you care about gets locked up, it's tough to figure out all the ins and outs of jail life. From sending mail to visiting, there are a lot of things to sort out. And getting info about the arrest? Not always easy. That's where this webpage comes in handy. It's here to help you get a handle on how things work here so that you can stay connected and support your loved one behind bars.
The Monroe Detention Center is a detention center located at 140A Tony Diaz Dr Woodland, CA which is operated locally by the Yolo 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. Yolo County accepts inmates from surrounding towns, Woodland 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.
Individuals who do not post bail within the first twenty-four hours are required to appear before a judge. During this first appearance, conducted either in person or via telephone, the judge informs the arrested person of the charges against them and sets the bond amount.
Following the intake process, which includes property inventory, medical screening, and booking, inmates are assigned to the general population. Housing assignments are based on the classification of their charges, whether felony or misdemeanor, to ensure proper management and safety within the facility.
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.
Under the authority of the Detention Division of the Yolo County Sheriff’s Office, inmates may be evaluated to determine their needs and eligibility for various in-custody programs. These programs are specifically designed to assist inmates in preparing for a successful re-entry into society upon their release from jail. One of the primary goals of the Detention Division is to provide as many inmates as possible with services that enhance their skills, education, and resources, thereby enabling them to return to the community better equipped-than they were before their incarceration.
With the support of grant funding, the Inmate Welfare Fund, volunteer services, and partnerships with community organizations, the Yolo County Detention Division strives to offer a head start to inmates participating in these programs, aiding their transition back into society.
Drug and Alcohol Treatment (Phoenix House): Provides treatment for inmates struggling with substance abuse and addiction through both group sessions and one-on-one counseling, tailored to each inmate’s specific needs and classification.
In-Custody Day Reporting Center (DRC) (Leinberger Center only): A multi-phase program that addresses criminal thinking and anti-social behaviors, while also equipping inmates with computer and financial skills. The program can continue post-release at DRC’s West Sacramento or Woodland campuses.
In-Custody Northern California Construction Training (NCCT) (Leinberger Center only): Offers vocational training in the field of construction, with opportunities for continuing education post-release at NCCT’s Woodland & West Sacramento campuses.
Parenting Classes: These classes, led by a contractor, teach inmates parenting techniques and how to bond with their children. The classes meet the Welfare & Institutions Code requirements for inmates involved with Child Protective Services (CPS).
Anger Management Education: Instructs inmates on conflict resolution and stress management techniques through contractor-led classes.
Woodland Literacy’s GED/Literacy program: Assists inmates in preparing for the GED with the help of a contracted GED Liaison who coordinates testing and prep sessions.
Domestic Violence & Sexual Assault Survivor Support Groups: Confidential support groups for female inmates, run through EMPOWER Yolo.
Bible Study Classes and Clergy Visits: Volunteers offer weekly spiritual classes and provide one-on-one visits with inmates.
Friends Care: A program that assists inmates with services that Correctional Staff are not trained or able to perform.
Alcoholics Anonymous / Narcotics Anonymous: Volunteer-run self-help groups that support inmates with drug and alcohol addiction recovery.
Socialization Groups: Organized by the contract medical provider, these groups promote social interaction among inmates with mental health concerns.
These are alternative sentencing programs that allow inmates to serve their court-ordered commitments (jail time) under supervised conditions outside of traditional incarceration.
Sheriff’s Working Inmate Program (SWIP): This work release program enables participants to convert jail time into community service by performing outdoor work for Yolo County. The program requires a nonrefundable fee and involves supervision by the Yolo County Probation Department. Participants must meet specific criteria and complete an application process, which includes appearing in person at the Work Programs Office, providing valid identification, a copy of the court minute order with jail commitment, and paying the program fees. Under certain conditions, this program may be transferred to other counties within California.
