Where to Route a Mendocino Custody Question
For Mendocino County Jail and sheriff records, start with the Mendocino County Sheriff's Office at 951 Low Gap Road, Ukiah, CA 95482. The main sheriff and jail phone is (707) 463-4411. Dispatch is (707) 463-4086. The records channel listed in the research is (707) 463-4418 and records@mendocinosheriff.org, but the sheriff's PRA page directs general public requests under the California Public Records Act, Government Code section 7920.000 et seq., to Mendocino County NextRequest at https://mendocinocounty.nextrequest.com/. The captured source did not publish general public lobby hours for the sheriff records counter; confirm counter access before visiting. Jail money-release hours are Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM to noon and 1:00 PM to 4:15 PM, excluding holidays.
- For someone in the county jail, use the sheriff booking log guidance on jail inmate records, then contact the jail if the roster is unclear.
- For booking photos, read jail roster mugshots; Mendocino's online booking log does not post arrestee photos, so requests go through the sheriff's public-records process.
- For charges filed after booking, use court records after a jail arrest and the Mendocino Superior Court criminal clerk at (707) 463-4661.
- For a specific local facility, use the facility pages in the footer for the Mendocino County Jail, the Coast Sector Substation holding cells, and Parlin Fork Conservation Camp #6.
- For a sentenced California prisoner, search CDCR CIRIS at https://ciris.mt.cdcr.ca.gov/ or contact CDCR's Identification Unit at (916) 445-6713.
- For federal or immigration custody, use the BOP Inmate Locator at https://www.bop.gov/inmateloc/ or ICE ODLS at https://locator.ice.gov/. VINELink California is available at https://vinelink.vineapps.com/search/CA/Person and 1-877-411-5588 for custody notifications when agency data is available.
