Sacramento County Jail
The Sacramento County Main Jail is used primarily for the temporary incarceration and detention of individuals for the Sacramento County Sheriff’s Department as well as other outside agencies such as the ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement). The jail houses male and female inmates until such time as they either post bail, appear for arraignment, or are released on their own recognizance. The jail also houses inmates awaiting trial. If convicted, most prisoners will serve their time in the Rio Consumnes Correctional Facility. The facility can accommodate approximately 2,400 inmates.
The Sacramento County Main Jail is located at:
