Calaveras County Adult Detention Facility Overview
The Calaveras County Adult Detention Facility is operated by the Calaveras County Sheriff's Office under Sheriff Rachelle Whiting. The facility is at 1045 Jeff Tuttle Drive in San Andreas, on the same public-safety campus as sheriff headquarters and near the county government center. The sheriff's strategic plan describes the Adult Detention Facility as the county jail and places it within the Custody Bureau. Its work includes detention operations, prisoner transportation, court security and bailiff responsibilities, and the care, custody, and control of people pending trial or convicted of crimes in Calaveras County.
The facility is the central booking and intake location for law-enforcement agencies operating in the county. That means an arrest by the sheriff, Angels Camp Police Department, CHP, probation, or another local agency may enter the county custody system here unless the person is cited, released, hospitalized, or moved under another authority. Public Citizen RIMS records inspected for Calaveras show booking agency and arresting agency codes such as CCSO and ACPD, which reflects that county and city arrests can feed the same jail roster.
State facility records identify the jail as a local adult Type II detention facility. The sheriff's plan ties jail operations to California Title 15 and Title 24 standards, including minimum living space, nutrition, medical and dental treatment, and other jail-care requirements. This is not a state prison or a federal detention center. People sentenced or transferred to CDCR custody should be searched through CDCR CIRIS, while federal or immigration custody requires separate federal or ICE channels.
Calaveras County Adult Detention Facility Capacity and Population
The sourced capacity number for this facility comes from the California Board of State and Community Corrections rated-capacity spreadsheet. The spreadsheet, last updated April 24, 2026, lists Calaveras County Jail as a Type II facility with 65 rated beds. That figure is a rated capacity number, not a live headcount.
The public Citizen RIMS inmate count inspected on May 31, 2026 returned 75 current in-custody people for Calaveras County Sheriff's Office agency ID 282. That was a point-in-time roster count and can change quickly as people are booked, released, transferred, or taken to court. Vera's Calaveras County fact sheet reported a 2021 average daily county jail population of 74 people, 1,452 county jail admissions, and a 77 percent pretrial share of the jail population. The sheriff's 2025-2027 strategic plan reported 1,243 total bookings in 2023, with 925 male bookings and 318 female bookings.
How to Look Up an Inmate at Calaveras County Adult Detention Facility
The correct online lookup for this county jail is the official Citizen RIMS incarcerated people route. The sheriff homepage links Citizen RIMS for Daily Bulletins, Crime Charts, Arrests, Inmates, Security Camera Registration, and Patrol Requests. The Calaveras RIMS inmate configuration says people held in the detention center are both pretrial and post-trial. The same configuration has inmate photos disabled, so the jail roster is a custody and booking-data tool, not a mugshot gallery.
- Open Citizen RIMS and choose the incarcerated people route for Calaveras County.
- Review the public list of people currently shown in jail custody. The inspected app uses a JavaScript list and API paging rather than a simple static last-name form.
- Open the matching record and compare name, booking date, arresting or booking agency, status, physical descriptors, charges, bail amounts, and total bail.
- If the person is not listed, call the Detention Center, check the recent arrests route, search the Calaveras Superior Court portal for filed cases, or use CDCR CIRIS when a state-prison transfer is possible.

Visiting Someone at Calaveras County Adult Detention Facility
County jail visitation is controlled by the sheriff detention facility visiting rules. Except for non-contact glass visits, visit requests and scheduling are made through Securus. New visitor registration or Sunday visit requests must be submitted online no later than 2:00 p.m. on the preceding Friday. Requests after that Friday cutoff are reviewed the following Monday.
All visitors check in at the front lobby counter. Visitors 16 or older need valid government-issued photo identification with a current address. Visitors may be searched if staff suspect contraband, and refusal means the visit is denied. Personal items such as cell phones, purses, backpacks, diaper bags, cameras, briefcases, tape recorders, food, and beverages are not allowed in the visiting area. Only keys, identification, and a small wallet are listed as allowed.

Mail, Phone, and Money at Calaveras County Adult Detention Facility
Mail must follow the sheriff jail mail rules. The county allows paper correspondence and envelopes, and it says there is no limit on the volume of mail an inmate may send or receive and no restriction on the number of pages or writing on either side of the paper. Photographs are limited to no more than three at a time, cannot be Polaroids, cannot exceed 4 by 6 inches, and cannot be pornography. Newspapers, magazines, books, and similar items are accepted only when the inmate will be held 30 days or more and only when sent directly from the publisher. Hardcover books are not accepted.
Phones are located in inmate pods. The sheriff phone page says inmates have access Sunday through Saturday from 8:00 a.m. until 10:00 p.m., subject to safety restrictions and staff discretion. Calls are collect or funded through Securus. The system will not connect to caller-ID-blocked numbers or cell phones, and phone or calling cards do not work. Jail staff do not deliver messages.

Booking and Intake at Calaveras County Adult Detention Facility
Booking usually begins with an arrest, court commitment, warrant, or remand. Because the jail is the central booking and intake location for Calaveras County law-enforcement agencies, staff create the custody record with name, descriptors, booking date and time, arresting agency, arrest location, and charges. Citizen RIMS sample data showed original arrest time and booking time as separate fields, so a person may appear with an arrest time earlier than the final booking time.
After intake, jail staff handle property and security screening, medical and mental-health screening, and classification. Public samples did not show housing pod or court date fields. Charges listed in the roster are booking or arrest charges; a filed court case in Calaveras Superior Court can later show different or amended charges after review by the District Attorney. For court status after booking, use the Superior Court Odyssey Portal or contact the court clerk.
About Calaveras County Adult Detention Facility
The sheriff's 2025-2027 strategic plan says the detention team includes 25 non-sworn officers, five non-sworn technicians, one Sheriff's Service Technician, and a sworn Custody Bureau Captain. The plan identifies goals around medical and mental-health services, classification, CERT, specialized assignments, staff training, communications, morale, and expanded educational or vocational programming. It also discusses possible programs such as an Honor Farm, Jail Garden, and vocational training to support reintegration.
Existing public jail services include commissary and inmate welfare fund spending for confined inmate benefits, hygiene support for newly committed or indigent inmates, clergy visits, attorney visits, daily phone access, and mail access subject to contraband screening. Important custody facts can change quickly, especially around release, court transport, bail, and holds.
Note: Confirm custody, bail acceptance, visiting approval, and deposit eligibility with the jail before traveling or sending money.
