Calaveras County Inmate Population Snapshot

The Calaveras County inmate population is centered on the Calaveras County Adult Detention Facility in San Andreas. The Calaveras County Sheriff's Office describes that facility as the county jail and the central booking and intake point for all law-enforcement agencies operating in Calaveras County. That means sheriff arrests, Angels Camp Police arrests, CHP arrests, probation commitments, and court remands normally enter the same local custody stream unless a person is cited, hospitalized, released, or moved under another legal authority.

The population count is not one fixed number. Citizen RIMS is the live public roster for current county jail custody. The Board of State and Community Corrections reports rated jail capacity and statewide jail profile data. Vera's county fact sheet gives older context on average daily jail population, admissions, arrest severity, and pretrial share. CDCR CIRIS covers sentenced state-prison custody, including people assigned to Vallecito Conservation Camp #1. Each source answers a different question, so the best Calaveras County inmate population check starts by asking whether the person is in county jail, state prison, federal custody, or immigration detention.

Calaveras County Inmate Population Statistics

The most useful Calaveras County inmate population figures come from three layers of reporting. The BSCC rated-capacity spreadsheet lists the Calaveras County Jail as a Type II local adult detention facility with 65 rated beds. Citizen RIMS returned 75 current in-custody people for agency 282 during the research inspection on May 31, 2026. Vera's 2021 fact sheet reported an average daily county jail population of 74, which is close to the later roster count but not the same kind of measure.

Use the table as a source map, not as a promise about today's jail head count. The roster count can change after bookings, releases, court orders, medical transports, or transfers. Average daily population is a year-based measure. Rated capacity is a physical and regulatory benchmark, not the number of people held on a given day.

The BSCC Jail Profile Survey page is the state-level home for jail population reporting, query tools, dashboards, quarterly reports, and rated capacity material. The Vera Calaveras County fact sheet adds context on arrests, admissions, pretrial status, and local criminal-legal spending.

Calaveras County Inmate Population Trends

Calaveras County inmate population trend work has to separate point-in-time counts from annual totals. Vera reported 74 people in county jail on an average day in 2021, while Citizen RIMS showed 75 current in-custody people on one inspected date in 2026. The sheriff's strategic plan reported 1,243 bookings for 2023. These numbers do not form a clean year-by-year average daily population series, but together they show that the public roster count and the older average daily population both sit above the 65-bed rated capacity figure.

At 75 people against 65 rated beds, the inspected roster count equaled about 115 percent of rated capacity. That comparison is not an official overcrowding finding. It is a practical snapshot that explains why population data, jail standards, classification, and medical or mental-health planning matter for Calaveras County jail operations.

Who Makes Up Calaveras County Custody

The Calaveras County inmate population includes more than one custody group. Citizen RIMS describes people held at the county detention center as both pretrial and post-trial offenders. Vera reported that 77 percent of the 2021 jail population was pretrial, which means many people in the county jail had not been convicted in the case that brought them there. The same 2021 fact sheet reported 71 percent of arrests as misdemeanors and 50 percent of the jail population as having mental-health needs.

Roster records also show which local agencies feed the jail. Sample Citizen RIMS records included CCSO and ACPD agency codes, reflecting the Calaveras County Sheriff's Office and Angels Camp Police Department. The public record shows name, age, sex, race, height, weight, hair, eyes, build, complexion, arrest location, booking details, charges, and bail. It does not show date of birth, real address, housing pod, court date, or booking photo in the inspected county configuration.

• Pretrial custody: people held before conviction or final case disposition.
• Post-trial local custody: people serving or completing a county-level sentence or commitment.
• Court holding: in-custody defendants staged temporarily for proceedings at the courthouse.
• State prison custody: sentenced CDCR custody, searched through CIRIS instead of the county roster.

Calaveras County Inmate Records Laws

California law explains why many Calaveras County inmate records are public while other details are restricted. The California Public Records Act is the broad records law. Government Code section 7923.610 requires state and local law-enforcement agencies to make specified arrest information public unless a safety or investigation exception applies. That includes name, physical description, arrest and booking times, arrest location, factual circumstances, bail, current holding location or release information, and charges or holds.

Juvenile records, sealed cases, sensitive investigative records, safety-sensitive details, and compiled criminal-history records may be withheld or restricted. The sheriff records request form cites Government Code 7920.000 and says to allow 10 business days for a response. It also states juvenile records are not released.

Search Calaveras County Inmate Population

The official current county jail channel is Citizen RIMS Incarcerated People. The sheriff homepage links Citizen RIMS for Daily Bulletins, Crime Charts, Arrests, Inmates, camera registration, and patrol requests. The Calaveras County route is a public JavaScript portal backed by the Citizen RIMS API. It is browse and pagination oriented, and the research inspection found no login or cost for the public inmate list.

1. Start at the Calaveras County Sheriff's Office homepage and select Citizen RIMS, or open the incarcerated-people route directly.
2. Review the agency disclaimer, which explains that people are presumed innocent unless declared guilty or convicted.
3. Open the current incarcerated-people list for the Calaveras County Detention Center.
4. Check the person's name, status, booking date, arresting agency, charges, bail, and total bail.
5. If the person is missing, call the jail, check recent arrests, search the court portal, or move to CDCR, BOP, ICE, or VINELink as the facts require.

The official Citizen RIMS inmate route is shown in the research screenshot for the public roster.

The roster screenshot supports the county jail search sections because Citizen RIMS is the public access point for current Calaveras County jail custody.

Calaveras County Jail Roster Fields

Citizen RIMS publishes enough fields to identify a current jail record, but it also shows several local redactions. The public configuration has inmates enabled and inmate photos disabled. Date of birth and real address are disabled, while age and physical descriptors are visible. Charges include codes, descriptions, levels, counts, arresting agency, arrest date and time, arrest location, bail amount, and total bail when entered.

For custody status details beyond the web list, the Detention Center phone line is the direct official fallback. For copies of records, released-person details, or records not shown online, use the sheriff records request process.

Calaveras County Records Requests

The sheriff's records access channels are important when the online Calaveras County inmate population search does not answer the question. A person may have been released, the booking may not be posted yet, the record may involve a juvenile, or the requested item may be a report copy rather than a roster entry. The sheriff records request web form is the online path, and the Records Division also accepts requests in person, by mail, and through the front-lobby drop box.

The official sheriff records request page is captured in the manifest and cites the public-records request process.

Use the request route for booking records, report copies, and follow-up information that is not available from the live jail roster.

County Jail Versus State Prison

Calaveras County has more than one custody system. The county jail roster covers people at the Adult Detention Facility, including pretrial and post-trial local custody. The Calaveras Court Holding Facility is a courthouse holding area for in-custody defendants during proceedings, not a jail where families send mail or commissary funds. Vallecito Conservation Camp #1 is a CDCR and CAL FIRE conservation camp, so it belongs to the state prison system rather than the county roster.

California VINELink can help with custody-status notification registration. It is not a substitute for the sheriff roster, the court portal, or CDCR CIRIS.

Calaveras County Detention Facilities

The facility map for Calaveras County includes one main county jail, one court holding facility, and one state conservation camp. The Adult Detention Facility is the main jail and central booking point. The court holding facility is tied to courthouse operations. Vallecito is a state CDCR camp for minimum-security incarcerated fire crew participants.

• Calaveras County Adult Detention Facility holds adults arrested in Calaveras County, pretrial detainees, sentenced county inmates, local holds, and people booked by local agencies.
• Calaveras Court Holding Facility temporarily holds in-custody defendants for court appearances before return to jail or release.
• Vallecito Conservation Camp #1 houses CDCR incarcerated camp participants who volunteer for fire suppression, flood control, and community service crews.

Do not use the same contact, mail, or money rules for all three. County jail rules apply to the Adult Detention Facility, courthouse holding is not a public visiting or mail facility, and CDCR rules apply to Vallecito.

Calaveras County Court Records After Arrest

Jail records and court records are linked, but they are not the same record. Citizen RIMS shows arrest and booking data. Calaveras Superior Court records begin when charges, citations, complaints, informations, or indictments are filed in the court system. The court handles felony and misdemeanor criminal matters, and its Odyssey Portal provides Smart Search, Search Hearings, calendars, and register-of-actions access without a basic public account.

Use the court portal when the question is about filed charges, hearing dates, case status, disposition, or payments. Use the jail roster when the question is whether someone is in the jail now. For a deeper court path, the dedicated court records after a jail arrest page explains how booking charges move into prosecutor-filed court charges.

Calaveras County Jail Mugshots

Citizen RIMS is configured to show inmate records and arrest records, but the research inspection found `inmatesPhotosEnabled=false` and `arrestPhotosEnabled=false`. That means routine Calaveras County jail mugshots are not posted in the public roster. The public record still shows many arrest and booking details required by state law, such as name, age, physical descriptors, arrest and booking dates, arrest location, charges, bail, and current in-custody status.

Booking photos may appear in specific sheriff press releases or public-safety bulletins, but there is no official routine mugshot gallery in the inspected county RIMS setup. To request a booking photo or booking record that is not online, use the sheriff records request process and include the person's name, booking date, arrest number if known, and case number if known.

Calaveras County Jail Services

The county jail service rules matter after a successful Calaveras County inmate search. Visiting requests, except non-contact glass visits, are scheduled through Securus. New visitor registration or requests for Sunday visits must be submitted online by 2:00 p.m. on the preceding Friday. Visitors 16 and older need valid government-issued photo ID with a current address. Personal items such as cell phones, purses, backpacks, diaper bags, cameras, food, and beverages are not allowed into the visiting area.

Note: Confirm custody with the jail before sending money, scheduling a visit, or relying on a roster entry for travel.
