Temporary Holding

Oxnard Police booking

City Police temporary holding at headquarters — processing, not a family jail. Adults may be held only as long as needed, and not longer than six hours without Watch Commander approval, then released or transferred to Sheriff custody. No public family visiting hours, mail, or commissary. Call the Watch Commander to see if they are still at the station; otherwise use the Sheriff inmate search.

251 South C Street, Oxnard, CA 93030
Temporary Holding

Santa Paula City Jail

BSCC temporary holding (THJ #6060) at Santa Paula Police — short-term city holding, not a Sheriff Type II jail. Confirm at the PD, then use the Sheriff inmate search if the person has been transferred.

214 South 10th Street, Santa Paula, CA 93060
Temporary Holding

Simi Valley Police temporary holding

BSCC temporary holding (THJ #6070) at Simi Valley Police — short-term city holding, not East County Jail and not Todd Road. Confirm at the PD, then use the Sheriff inmate search if the person has been transferred.

3901 Alamo Street, Simi Valley, CA 93063
  • Oxnard Police booking is a live city temporary-holding stop at 251 South C Street. It is not on the April 22, 2026 BSCC open roster (Santa Paula and Simi Valley are listed as THJ). Families should not treat it as a visiting jail.
  • Ventura Conservation Camp #46 is historical. The site now hosts the noncustodial Ventura Training Center. Ventura Youth Correctional Facility closed with DJJ in June 2023.
  • St. John’s Hospital Camarillo is a hospital, not ICE detention. ICE’s 2023 Ventura Custody Case audit is not current operating confirmation, so that site is not listed as a family destination.

How do I find someone in Ventura County custody?

Start with the official Ventura County Sheriff Inmate Search linked on this page. Confirm the booked name, identifier and current facility before using visiting, mail or money instructions. If the record is unclear, call (805) 654-3335.

Which adult jail should I use in Ventura County?

The listed adult county facilities are Pre-Trial Detention Facility (Main Jail), Todd Road Jail, East County Jail. Use the current custody record to choose the right building; one facility’s rules should not be assumed for another.

Can I use the adult jail rules for youth or other custody?

No. This guide separately identifies Ventura County Juvenile Facilities, Oxnard Police booking, Santa Paula City Jail, Simi Valley Police temporary holding. Youth, state, federal, immigration, city-holding and other-county custody can use different locators, mail addresses, visiting rules and payment systems.

The published adult-jail mail format in this guide is: Incarcerated person's name and booking number / P.O. Box 6929 / Ventura, CA 93006. Confirm the current facility and read the mail notes before sending; a jail street address is not always the inmate-mail destination.

What should I confirm before a visit?

Confirm the person’s current facility, housing or eligibility, the current schedule, visitor approval and identification rules, and where to check in. Call the facility before a long trip because housing and schedules can change.
