Find Tehama County Inmate Records

Tehama County Jail Roster Status

The official starting point for Tehama County inmate records is the sheriff's current inmates page. That page links to a current-inmates host, but research inspection on May 31, 2026 found a generic placeholder page rather than a working public roster. No search fields, inmate rows, booking profiles, mugshots, charges, bond amounts, release dates, or housing-unit fields were visible at that time.

That status changes the practical workflow. Use the online link first, because it is still the official sheriff path. If it does not load as a roster, call the Tehama County Jail staff line at (530) 529-7910 for immediate custody confirmation. For booking logs, report copies, and older booking information, use the Sheriff's Records Division. Records maintains booking logs, calls for service, investigations, contacts, and other transactions for the sheriff's office.

Use Tehama County Inmate Records

The access chain is important because the online roster was not functioning as a roster during research. A Tehama County inmate lookup may require a current custody call, a written records request, a court copy request, or a CDCR search depending on where the person is in the process. Keep names, birth dates, booking dates, court papers, release paperwork, and case or citation numbers available when contacting an official office.

1. Open the sheriff current-inmates page and try the linked current-inmates host.
2. If no roster appears, call Tehama County Jail at (530) 529-7910 and ask for current custody status.
3. For booking logs or report information, contact Sheriff Records at 22840 Antelope Boulevard, Red Bluff, phone 530-529-7940, fax 530-529-7933, or records@tehamaso.org.
4. For filed charges, dispositions, or copies of court papers, contact Tehama Superior Court Criminal Division.
5. For a sentenced state prisoner or Ishi Conservation Camp placement, search CDCR CIRIS instead of the county roster.

Tehama County Roster Search Fields

The official roster host did not expose a fielded search form during inspection. That means no official source confirmed a last-name box, first-name box, booking-number field, facility filter, release-date filter, or case-number field for the Tehama County jail roster. The table below states the research result rather than filling in expected fields from another county's roster.

The sheriff's inmate-information page does publish related jail services, including mail, deposits, commissary packages, and the current-inmates link. When the roster link fails or does not answer the question, the jail phone line and Records Division become the official fallback rather than third-party jail lists.

Tehama County Inmate Profile Fields

Because no Tehama County sample inmate profile loaded from the official roster host, the profile field inventory is limited. California law recognizes many local criminal-history data points, including identifying information, arrest dates, arresting agencies, booking numbers, charges, and dispositions, but Penal Code section 13300 also limits full access to local summary criminal history. Public inmate records and full criminal-history summaries are not the same thing.

Find County State Federal Inmates

Tehama County inmate records split by custody type. The county jail covers local arrests, pretrial custody, some sentenced jail custody, court transport, medical appointments, jail meals, visitation, and local release questions. The California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation covers sentenced state prison and conservation camp custody. Federal and immigration systems are separate and should not be treated as part of the sheriff's jail roster.

Tehama County Jail Facilities

The main local jail is the Tehama County Jail at 502 Oak Street in Red Bluff. It is operated by the Tehama County Sheriff's Office Custody Division and has a published capacity of 227 inmates. The sheriff describes it as housing sentenced and pre-sentenced inmates. Ishi Conservation Camp #18 is in Paynes Creek, but it is a state CDCR and CAL FIRE conservation camp, not a local jail booking facility.

Booking Process in Tehama County

Tehama Superior Court states that a criminal case begins when a person is arrested and charges are filed through the District Attorney or by an agency such as the Tehama County Sheriff's Department, Red Bluff Police Department, or Corning Police Department. After arrest, the jail creates booking and custody records while the court side tracks filed charges, hearings, bail, disposition, and warrants.

The sheriff's transportation unit returns inmates arrested in California counties who are wanted by Tehama County and assists with court and medical transport. The unit handles 70 to 80 inmates per month and travels about 4,000 miles within California. Those transport facts explain why a person connected to Tehama County may be in another county briefly before returning to the Tehama County Jail or appearing in court.

Tehama County Jail Visitation

Tehama County Jail visits are non-contact and use IC Solutions video visitation. The official setup path is to use the Friends & Family tab, choose Video Visitation under Support, select Tehama County Jail, CA as the agency, and create an account. Inmates receive one 30-minute visit twice weekly. Inmate workers may receive one 60-minute visit twice weekly if time and space are available.

Visitation requests must be submitted and pre-approved. The request must be received seven days before the requested date and is not accepted more than 30 days in advance. If approved, the visitor is assigned a 30-minute time slot and notified by email. Completed forms are emailed to jailvisitation@tehamaso.org.

Contact a Tehama County Inmate

Inmate mail goes to P.O. Box 490, Red Bluff, CA 96080, using the inmate's name and Tehama County Jail. All correspondence must include a complete return name and address. Legal mail is no longer accepted as a jail-window drop-off; it must be mailed with Legal Mail marked on the front, or the person must ask to see the inmate for personal service.

The jail publishes detailed mail restrictions. Prohibited items include drugs, weapons, hazardous materials, stationery, stamps, stickers, glue, adhesives, cards, cash, checks, money orders, Polaroids, oversized photos, more than 10 photos in inmate possession, hardcover books, and many craft or laminated items. Books, newspapers, and magazines must come directly from a publisher or qualifying online service, and no hardcover books are accepted.

Tehama County Commissary Funds
