Siskiyou County Inmate Search

The Siskiyou County Sheriff's Office runs an online search tool through CitizenRIMS. This platform lets you look up people who are currently in custody at the Siskiyou County jail. Type in a name and the system shows results with booking details, charges, and bail amounts. The tool is free and available to the public at any time. You do not need to create an account to search.

CitizenRIMS is used by several California counties for public jail data. The system pulls directly from the jail management software. Updates happen throughout the day as people are booked in and released. If someone was arrested very recently, there may be a short delay before they appear in search results. Give it a few hours and try again if you do not see the person right away.

For people who want to deposit money into an inmate's account in Siskiyou County, JailATM is the platform used for commissary funds. This is separate from the booking record itself, but it connects to the same jail system. Family members and friends can use JailATM to add funds that inmates can spend on approved items at the jail.

Siskiyou Booking Records Law

California Government Code 7923.610 is the law that makes booking records public. It covers Siskiyou County and all 58 California counties. The sheriff must share the name, date of birth, physical details, arrest and booking times, arrest location, bail, charges, and facility for every person booked. This is not optional. The law is clear that no agency can withhold this data.

Siskiyou County follows the California Public Records Act for handling records requests. If you ask for booking data, the sheriff has 10 days to respond. They can charge for copies, but the lookup itself is free. If they deny a request, they have to explain the legal basis. In practice, Siskiyou County rarely denies booking records requests since the law is so direct about public access.

People arrested in Siskiyou County have their own protections too. Penal Code 851.5 says every person booked gets at least three phone calls within three hours. These calls are free. They can contact a lawyer, a bail bond agent, or someone in their family. The Siskiyou County jail must allow these calls right after booking.

Note: The CitizenRIMS tool shows current inmates only. For historical booking data, submit a written records request to the sheriff.
