Custody lookup
Plumas County Correctional Facility inmate search.
Confirm the person is in this jail before you drive, mail a letter, or send money.
Jail records line — no live roster
The Sheriff publishes no live name-search roster. Call (530) 283-6267. Official jail page: officers can release an inmate’s charges and bail amounts only. Court dates and release information will not be given out. For court information call the Plumas Superior Court clerk at (530) 283-6232. Jail411 does not host inmate names.
Call (530) 283-6267Before you leave home
Three things to confirm before the trip.
Visits are by appointment only. Call the jail before you drive — the jail landing still carries a COVID no-contact banner while the Visitation page publishes an appointment schedule.
- 01Confirm custody
Call (530) 283-6267.
There is no live inmate name search. Ask if the person is still at the Correctional Facility and which visiting group they are in — females, males, protective custody, or AdSeg use different days and hours.
- 02Book a slot
Appointment only. Call the jail.
Official Visitation page: the jail is no longer first-come, first-served. Schedule by calling (530) 283-6267. Match the published window for that housing group.
- 03Bring ID only
Valid government photo ID. Leave everything else in the car.
If you do not have a valid ID you will be asked to leave. Leave all items except ID in the vehicle, including phones and recording devices. Failure to do so can get you removed. Recently released from this jail: 30-day wait before you may visit. Minors must come with a parent or legal guardian.

Housing moves can change the window.

Address all envelopes with a full name and address. Inmate-specific: do not write to multiple inmates in the same letter. Official Correspondence page address: 50 Abernathy Lane, Quincy, CA 95971. The jail landing lists 56 Abernethy Lane as the physical location — different number and spelling on two official pages; both are the Quincy jail campus, not 1400 East Main Street.

Jail landing (still on the page 2026-09-12): over-the-counter money is not being accepted under a COVID no-contact banner; electronic Access Corrections remains the published path. ACS applications: mail and money order, or drop-off at the Sheriff’s Office, 1400 East Main Street.
Release and property
Bail, property, and commissary pickup
Court 2026 bail schedules + call the jail
Jail landing: officers will release charges and bail amounts only. Cash, money orders, and cashier’s checks — no personal checks. Bond agencies must already be registered with Plumas Superior Court or they will be turned away. Court 2026 Uniform Bail & Penalty Schedules (effective Jan. 1, 2026) and 2026 Criminal Incarceration Bail Schedule (effective Feb. 10, 2026) are on plumas.courts.ca.gov/forms-filing/bail-penalty-schedules. Clerk (530) 283-6232. Posting a bond does not guarantee release if a probation hold, parole hold, or out-of-county warrant applies. An ICE detainer alone is not a lawful California hold (Gov. Code § 7284.6). This is the process, not a bondsman directory.
Meds and glasses at the counter; call for the rest
Jail landing: only medications and seeing glasses are accepted over the counter; all other items are denied. Correspondence page: items mailed in are returned or held in property until release. Detailed family property-release steps are not on the public jail pages. Call (530) 283-6267.
Not published — call (530) 283-6267
Not published on the reviewed Sheriff pages. Call (530) 283-6267.
After booking
Court, a lawyer, probation, and parole.
Court, counsel, and probation are separate from the jail. State parole is a different agency. This is the process a family actually has to walk—not a directory of private bondsmen or attorneys.
