This is a private reference site, not a jail, sheriff's office, court, bonding office, or records desk. We cannot confirm whether someone is in custody, release a person, post bond, schedule a visit, or retrieve an official booking record. Use the official contacts below for those tasks.
Official Places to Start
For Santa Clara County jail custody, the Sheriff's Custody Bureau and its booking and records units are the direct sources. The key public contacts from the county research are:
- County of Santa Clara Office of the Sheriff headquarters: 55 West Younger Avenue, San Jose, CA 95110; (408) 808-4400 or (800) 211-2220.
- Santa Clara County Main Jail Complex: 150 West Hedding Street, San Jose, CA 95110; main facility (408) 808-2800; visitation (408) 299-3438. Public desk hours were listed as Monday-Friday, 8:00 a.m.-5:00 p.m., with Saturday and Sunday closed.
- Administrative Booking Unit: 985 N. San Pedro Street, San Jose, CA 95110; (408) 299-2305 for booking information, bail, charges, warrants, holds, initial court date, projected release date, and custody verification letters.
- Sheriff Records Division: 55 West Younger Avenue, San Jose, CA 95110; (408) 808-4705. The Records Division is the Sheriff's records custodian, and in-person counter services are by appointment only.
Use the subject matter to choose the right next step:
- For someone in a county jail, start with jail inmate records and the ATIMS "Who's in Custody" portal.
- For booking photos, use jail roster mugshots and the Sheriff's CPRA or media-relations process.
- For charges filed after a jail arrest, use court records after a jail arrest through Santa Clara County Superior Court.
- For a specific location, use the detention facility pages listed in the footer.
- For a sentenced state prisoner, use CDCR CIRIS and, if needed, CDCR Identification Unit assistance at (916) 445-6713.
- For federal or immigration custody, use the BOP inmate locator, U.S. Marshals Northern District of California contacts, or ICE ODLS rather than the county jail roster.
