Auburn Main Jail — Everything You Need to Know

---

The Auburn Main Jail, also known as the Placer County Adult Correctional Facility, is the primary detention facility for northern Placer County. It handles all bookings for arrests in Auburn, Colfax, Foresthill, Meadow Vista, Newcastle, Penryn, and surrounding foothill communities.

Facility Address: 2775 Richardson Drive, Auburn, CA 95603

Phone: (530) 745-8500

Operated by: Placer County Sheriff's Office

Inmate Lookup: placer.ca.gov (Sheriff's Office inmate search tool)

The facility operates 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Bail bonds are accepted around the clock.

After an arrest in northern Placer County, the defendant is transported to Auburn Main Jail for booking. The booking process includes fingerprinting, photograph, personal property inventory, background check, and warrant search.

Booking typically takes two to six hours. The timeline depends on several factors: how busy the facility is, the time of day, whether it is a weekend or holiday, and whether the defendant has outstanding warrants or holds from other jurisdictions.

During busy periods — Friday and Saturday nights, holiday weekends, and special event weekends — booking can take longer. Reduced staffing during nights and weekends also slows the process.

You do not need to wait for booking to be complete before calling us. Contact Auburn Bail Bonds at (530) 320-0676 as soon as you know someone has been arrested. We begin preparing paperwork immediately and monitor the booking system so the bond can be posted the moment bail is set.

Once booking is complete, bail is set according to the Placer County Bail Schedule. Many common charges have preset bail amounts that allow release without a court hearing. For more serious charges, the defendant may need to appear before a judge at arraignment before bail is set or modified.

After bail is set, a bail bond can be posted at any time — day or night. Our office at 11768 Atwood Road in Auburn is minutes from the jail. When you call us, we confirm the charges and bail amount, complete the application by phone, process payment, and drive to the facility to post the bond.

Release after posting typically takes two to four hours. Night and weekend releases may take slightly longer due to reduced staffing at the facility.

Auburn Main Jail offers scheduled visiting for friends and family of inmates. Visits are conducted through video terminals at the facility. Scheduling and availability depend on the inmate's housing unit and classification level.

To check visiting schedules, contact the jail directly at (530) 745-8500 or visit the Placer County Sheriff's Office website for current policies. Visiting rules, dress codes, and identification requirements are subject to change — always confirm before visiting.

If you do not know whether someone has been booked or what their bail amount is, you can search the Placer County inmate database online through the Sheriff's Office website at placer.ca.gov. The database updates as bookings are processed, though there may be a delay of several hours between arrest and the booking record appearing online.

You can also call us at (530) 320-0676 and we will look them up. We check Auburn Main Jail, South Placer Jail, and surrounding jurisdictions. If they have not been booked yet, we monitor the system and notify you as soon as they appear.
