Check Coast Sector Holding Custody

Coast Sector Holding Overview

The Coast Sector / Fort Bragg sheriff presence is listed in official sheriff contact sources at 700 South Franklin Street in Fort Bragg. For facility-map purposes, the holding cells are treated as temporary law-enforcement holding cells for the coastal area. The research did not locate an official rated capacity, bed count, inmate roster, visitation schedule, commissary vendor, or public booking page specific to the holding cells.

This distinction is important. A person may be detained briefly at a coastal law-enforcement location, but anyone who remains in county custody should be tracked through the Mendocino County Jail and the sheriff's central booking log. Do not treat the Coast Sector Substation as a separate long-term jail with its own inmate search, money account, mail room, or normal visiting schedule.

Coast Sector Custody Lookup

The correct lookup path for a person arrested in the coastal area depends on custody stage. If the person was released quickly, the public jail roster may not show a current in-custody record. If the person was booked and remains in county custody, the record should be checked through the New World Systems Booking Log for Mendocino County Jail. For older records, missing booking fields, or photo requests, use the sheriff public-records path through NextRequest.

1. Open the Mendocino Sheriff Booking Log.
2. Search by name, booking number, or subject number if available.
3. For current custody, check In Custody and choose MENDOCINO COUNTY JAIL from Housing Facility.
4. If no record appears, contact the jail or sheriff records to ask whether the person was released, transferred, or not booked into the county jail.
5. For records outside the public booking window, use Mendocino County NextRequest.

The booking log is shown on the official New World page. The Mendocino County booking log search is still the central custody search path when a coast-area detainee is booked into county jail.

The same booking log covers current county custody from coastal arrests once the person is booked into the county jail system.

Coast Sector Contact

Use the Coast Sector phone for local sheriff contact in Fort Bragg, but use the county jail and records channels for ongoing custody questions. The Ten Mile Branch courthouse is also at 700 South Franklin Street, but court records and hearings are separate from the holding-cell function. Court copies, filed charges, and docket questions go through Mendocino Superior Court, not the holding cells.

Coast Sector Visits

No official public visitation schedule was located for the Coast Sector holding cells. That is consistent with the facility's documented role as temporary holding rather than a full jail. If a person is moved into long-term county custody, visitation routes through Mendocino County Jail, where the sheriff documents remote video visiting through GettingOut and eligibility based on classification, housing, or discipline.

Call before travel. A short-term hold can change quickly through release, transfer to Ukiah, court routing, or another agency's custody decision.

Coast Sector Mail and Money

The research found no holding-cell commissary vendor, money-deposit route, mail room, phone-rate table, or property acceptance rule for the Coast Sector holding cells. Those omissions should not be filled with county jail details as if the holding cells were a full jail. Once a person is booked into Mendocino County Jail, documented money routes include mycarepack.com and the jail lobby kiosk, while jail property is not accepted for inmates.

Coast Arrest to Booking

A coastal arrest can involve short-term holding before release, court, or transfer to the county jail in Ukiah. If the person is booked into the county jail, intake creates or links the subject number, assigns the booking number, records booking origin, enters demographic fields, and adds charge and bond information when available. The public profile may then appear in the county booking log, subject to the 30-day booking information window and current-custody search options.

Booking charges are not the same as final court charges. After arrest, the District Attorney may file, amend, reject, reduce, or dismiss charges in Superior Court. For filed charges after a coast-area arrest, use court records after jail arrest, re:SearchCA, courthouse kiosks, or the court's MMC-900 records request process.

Temporary holding

Short-term law-enforcement custody before release, transfer, or further processing.

Booking log

The county jail public roster used for current and recent custody.

Housing facility

The roster filter used to choose MENDOCINO COUNTY JAIL or other listed options.

PRA request

A California Public Records Act request, routed locally through NextRequest.

Coast Sector Records

General public records requests for sheriff records route through Mendocino County NextRequest. Useful identifiers include full name, date of birth, booking number, subject number, booking date, arresting agency, and the type of record sought. Older booking records, incident reports, or booking-photo requests may be subject to California Public Records Act exemptions, Penal Code section 13300 limits, juvenile confidentiality, victim and witness protections, medical or privacy limits, and active-investigation concerns.

For custody notification rather than a record copy, VINELink California is a separate option. VINELink does not replace the sheriff booking log, and data depends on participating agency feeds. For sentenced state custody, use CDCR CIRIS. For federal or immigration custody, use the BOP or ICE locators.

About Coast Sector Holding

The Coast Sector entry reflects Mendocino County's geography. Fort Bragg and the coast are separate from the main jail campus in Ukiah, and the sheriff maintains a public coastal contact point. The same address also matters for court users because the Superior Court's Ten Mile Branch is located at 700 South Franklin Street, Fort Bragg, with criminal clerk hours documented separately from sheriff holding functions.

No official source in the research identified the Coast Sector holding cells as an independent long-term jail with rated beds or full inmate services. The accurate public route is therefore narrow: use the Coast Sector phone for local sheriff contact, use Mendocino County Jail for ongoing custody, use the booking log for current county custody, and use NextRequest for public-records requests.
