Solano County, California Inmate Search

An inmate search is a public-facing search tool that enables individuals to look up inmates currently incarcerated in a county, state, or federal prison. In Solano County, the Solano County Sheriff’s Office oversees local jail custody and offers the public an In-Custody Web Search and Jail Booking Logs as public-facing custody tools. Searches conducted using these tools typically return information, such as the inmate’s name, age, physical descriptors (e.g., sex, weight, height, eye color, and hair color. Other details include booking and charges-related data.

At the state level, the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation provides the California Incarcerated Records and Information Search (CIRIS) tool for locating persons housed in state prisons. The Federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP) also provides a separate inmate locator for individuals held in federal custody.

Although some city police departments, especially in larger or incorporated cities, may run their own jail rosters, this is not the case in Solano County. Prominent police departments, such as the Vallejoand Fairfield Police Departments, do not maintain separate public jail rosters. These police departments typically book arrested persons into the county jail. Therefore, the Solano County Sheriff’s public-facing custody tools represent the best public starting point for finding who is in custody.

How to Find an Inmate in Solano County Jail

In Solano County, the Solano County Sheriff-Coroner’s Office provides jail custody information through its public inmate search tools, the In-Custody Web Search and the Jail Booking Logs.

Option 1: Sheriff’s In-Custody Web Search

To use this tool:

Go to the Solano County Sheriff’s In-Custody Web Search page.
Enter at least the first 3 letters of the person’s first or last name (the tool requires a minimum of 3 letters).
Review results for the person’s listing and open the details shown for that custody record (if available).

Note: The Sheriff notes this site is an informational public service and may not be relied on as an official record.

Option 2: Sheriff’s Jail Booking Logs

When searching for someone who may have been recently booked, requesters may wish to review the Booking Logs.

Open the Jail Booking Logs page.
Review entries for individuals arrested and booked into the Solano County jail within the last 7 days (logs are compiled in 24-hour periods and updated nightly).
If no information loads or appears, Solano County advises users to disable their pop-up blocker for that page.

Requesters who undergo the steps above and still cannot obtain relevant information may contact the Sheriff’s Office and County Jail at the following addresses:

How to Use the Solano County Jail Roster

Solano County’s Sheriff’s Office offers the public an onlineIn-Custody Web Search (often called the jail roster) for locating individuals who may currently be detained in the county’s jail facilities.

The In Custody Web Search typically allows searches by name. Requesters are expected to enter at least the first three letters of the person’s first name or last name. Please note that the roster is a name-based search tool and may not support date of birth or booking number searches as some other counties do.

Step-by-step Guide to Using the In-Custody Web Search

Visit the Solano County Sheriff-Coroner’s website, click on Public Information, and then In-Custody Web Search (the official inmate roster).
Type at least three letters of the person’s first OR last name. For example, if searching for "Jones," try Jon. If the person may be listed under a shortened first name, try multiple versions (e.g., Chris vs Christopher), and consider known alternate spellings.
After running the search, the tool typically returns a list of matching names. Open the matching record to view the custody details that are publicly displayed (what appears may vary by individual record).
Requesters who do not find a matching record should consider using other name fields (first name letters instead of last name letters) or trying fewer letters (maintain at least three letters) to catch spelling differences. They may also search again later if the arrest was fairly recent; systems may take time to update new bookings.

Jail Booking Logs

Individuals who suspect the subject of a search was recently booked may review the Solano County Jail Booking Logs. This is a list of persons booked into the county within the last seven days. Requesters are advised to disable their pop-up blocker to view the logs properly. Please note that these logs are separate from the "In-Custody" roster. They are valuable when searching for someone who was booked in the past few days, but they are not visible yet on the roster.

In instances where the online roster may be down, results are not clear, or identity confirmation is required, requesters may contact the jail directly at:

Justice Center Detention Facility (Main custody facility)

500 Union Ave.

Fairfield, CA 94533

Phone: (707) 784-7100

Solano County Sheriff’s Office (Administration)

530 Union Avenue, Suite 100, Fairfield, CA 94533

Phone: (707) 784-7000

How to Send Money to an Inmate in Justice Center Detention Facility (JCDF)

Family and friends wishing to send money to inmates at the Justice Center Detention Facility may use the following deposit methods:

Option 1 - Order commissary items online (iCare "package" system): Interested persons may use an online commissary ordering system ("iCare Online Commissary") offered by the Sheriff’s Office Custody Division to provide items to people housed in Solano County jail facilities without traveling to the facility. They should note that JCDF deliveries are on Wednesdays. To make deliveries, depositors will need the incarcerated person’s name (and sometimes an ID/booking number, depending on the vendor’s checkout requirements. They also have to use a payment method accepted by the platform.

Option 2 - Deposit money for commissary (confirm the approved method by phone): Since Solano County does not clearly state the deposit vendors and methods on its Sheriff custody pages, potential depositors are advised to call the 24-hour Custody Booking Information line for custody or booking questions. Questions they may seek answers to during the call include: how to add funds to an inmate’s account at JCDF? Does the facility accept online deposits, lobby kiosks, or money orders? Are there fees, limits, or "no cash by mail" rules? What exact information must be on the deposit (full name, booking/inmate number, etc.)?

Inmate Search by Jail Facility

The Solano County Sheriff-Coroner’s Office, through its Detention Division, operates the county’s adult jail facilities, including the Justice Center, the Stanton Correctional Facility, and the Claybank Detention Facility. These facilities are searchable under a single, online In-Custody inmate locator. Consequently, all inmates’ information is maintained in the same database. Besides the inmate locator, Solano County also publishes Jail Booking Logs, which display bookings within the last seven days and updates on a nightly basis.

For juveniles, the Probation Department operates Solano County’s Juvenile Detention Facility. No official public "jail roster" style search page is listed for finding youths in the county’s Juvenile Detention Facility. The county advises interested parties to contact the JDF or Probation Department.

Finally, Solano’s Alternative to Custody (ATC) program is a Sheriff program for eligible participants who are not housed in jail. Therefore, requesters cannot find individuals in this program via the Sheriff’s "In-Custody" roster. Typically, they are expected to contact the ATC office for program-related questions.
