Calaveras Court Holding Facility Temporary Custody Records

Calaveras Court Holding Facility Overview

The Calaveras Court Holding Facility appears in the BSCC open-facilities list as facility number 409, type CH. The research did not locate a separate public jail page for this facility, and it should not be treated as a 24-hour jail or a place where the public schedules regular visits, sends commissary money, or mails letters. Its address is the Calaveras Superior Court courthouse at 400 Government Center Drive in San Andreas, CA 95249-9794.

This facility exists around court operations. The Calaveras County Sheriff's Office strategic plan describes court security and bailiff duties within the Custody Bureau, along with prisoner transportation. It also describes the Court Security Division's role in helping proceedings run smoothly and providing security for sitting judges. In practical terms, people at court holding are in-custody defendants temporarily staged for hearings or other court proceedings before being returned to the jail, released under a court order, or transported elsewhere.

The public should separate three questions. Current physical jail custody is checked through the county jail roster or Detention Center. Filed case and hearing information is checked through the Superior Court Odyssey Portal or the clerk. Court holding itself is a temporary security location and does not publish its own inmate search.

Calaveras Court Holding Facility Capacity and Population

No official public source located for this build published a separate capacity for the Calaveras Court Holding Facility. The BSCC source identifies the facility and type, but the facility map notes capacity as not published in an official public source located. Because it is a court holding facility rather than a public jail, a regular daily population figure should not be inferred from county jail data.

Population context belongs mainly to the Calaveras County Adult Detention Facility. The county jail has a BSCC rated capacity of 65 beds, and Citizen RIMS returned 75 current in-custody people when inspected May 31, 2026. Some of those in-custody defendants may be transported to the courthouse for proceedings, but that point-in-time jail roster count is not a capacity or population number for the court holding area.

How to Look Up Someone Connected to Calaveras Court Holding Facility

There is no separate court holding inmate roster in the official sources reviewed. Use the correct channel for the question. If the person is still in county custody, start with the Citizen RIMS incarcerated people route. If the question is about the next hearing, filed charges, court case number, warrant status in a filed case, or register of actions, use the Calaveras Superior Court Odyssey Portal.

1. Search Citizen RIMS first when the question is whether the person remains in the Calaveras County jail system.
2. Use the court portal when the question is about a criminal case, hearing calendar, filed complaint, citation, information, indictment, or register of actions.
3. Call the Detention Center at (209) 754-6499 when custody status, transport, bail acceptance, or release timing needs confirmation.
4. Call the court at (209) 754-9800 for court-hour, clerk, and hearing-record questions that the public portal does not answer.

Calaveras Court Holding Facility Address and Contact

The courthouse is in the San Andreas government center area near the sheriff and jail. The court location page gives courthouse hours as Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Clerk's Office window hours are 8:15 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., and phone hours are 8:15 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. For live custody status, use the jail rather than the court general number.

Visiting Someone at Calaveras Court Holding Facility

No official public source located for this build published regular public visitation for the Calaveras Court Holding Facility. Because it is a courthouse holding area, not a public jail, do not plan a visit, mail drop, commissary deposit, or video visit through the court holding facility. In-custody defendants are generally brought for proceedings and then returned to jail, released, or transported under the controlling order.

If the person is housed at the Adult Detention Facility, use the sheriff's jail visitation rules instead. Those rules require lobby check-in, valid government-issued photo ID for visitors 16 and older, Securus scheduling for most visits, and the Friday 2:00 p.m. cutoff for new visitor registration or Sunday visit requests. Court appearances themselves are governed by court access and courtroom rules, not jail visiting procedures.

Mail, Phone, and Money at Calaveras Court Holding Facility

Mail, phone, and money rules located in the research apply to the Calaveras County Adult Detention Facility, not the courthouse holding facility. Do not send inmate mail to the courthouse holding area unless directed by an official agency. If the person is housed in the county jail, mail should be addressed to Calaveras County Jail, c/o Inmate full name, 1045 Jeff Tuttle Drive, San Andreas, CA 95249.

For jail phone accounts, the sheriff phone page identifies Securus and says inmates have pod phone access Sunday through Saturday from 8:00 a.m. until 10:00 p.m., subject to restrictions. For jail commissary, SmartDeposit is the online funding channel and the inmate arrest number is required. The jail also has a lobby kiosk during regular business hours, and a person who has been incarcerated in Calaveras County Jail within the last 90 days may not place funds in an inmate account.

Court Holding, Booking, and Case Status

Street-arrest booking is handled at the Calaveras County Adult Detention Facility. The court holding facility does not replace jail intake. A person arrested in the county may be booked at the jail, appear on Citizen RIMS if public and current, and later be transported to the courthouse for arraignment, hearings, bail review, sentencing, or other proceedings.

Calaveras Superior Court handles misdemeanor and felony matters. The court divisions page explains that charging documents consist of citations, complaints, information, and grand jury indictments. This matters because booking charges in Citizen RIMS may not match filed court charges after prosecutor review. The District Attorney can file, amend, decline, or otherwise affect charges before the court record becomes the better source for case status.

The Odyssey Portal states that an account is not required to search hearings, calendars, or register of actions. Smart Search supports record number or name searches, and advanced filters can include case number, citation number, party name, attorney information, judicial officer, and other criteria. The portal uses reCAPTCHA and court access rules, so not every detail visible to attorneys or justice partners is necessarily public to anonymous users.

About Calaveras Court Holding Facility

Calaveras Court Holding Facility is best understood as part of the courthouse custody and security chain. It supports court proceedings for in-custody defendants, while the county jail remains the public-facing facility for intake, housing, visitation, mail, commissary, and phone services. The San Andreas government center layout makes this distinction easy to miss because the courthouse, jail, sheriff headquarters, District Attorney, and victim services offices are clustered nearby.

For family members and records users, the safest workflow is to identify whether the question is custody, case, or records. Custody goes to Citizen RIMS and the jail. Case events go to the court portal and clerk. Copies of sheriff records go through the sheriff records request process, which cites Government Code 7920.000, says to allow 10 business days for a response, and states juvenile records are not released.
