How do I find someone in El Dorado County custody?
Use the official El Dorado County Sheriff Current Inmates linked on this page. If the person is not listed or the booking is recent, call (530) 621-6000 and ask which facility currently holds them.
Which adult jail should I use?
The guide lists El Dorado County Jail - Placerville, El Dorado County Jail - South Lake Tahoe. Use the facility shown in the current custody record, not simply the closest building, and reconfirm before traveling or sending anything.
What should I confirm before visiting?
Sheriff Visiting Information (checked 2026-09-12): in-person visiting is first come first served — no reservation for social visits. Placerville (300 Forni Road) Monday–Sunday 8:00–11:00 a.m. and 1:00–4:00 p.m., plus Monday–Thursday 7:00–10:00 p.m. South Lake Tahoe (1051 Al Tahoe Blvd) Monday–Saturday 8:00–11:00 a.m. and 1:00–4:00 p.m., plus Tuesday–Thursday 7:00–10:00 p.m. Final check-in is 30 minutes before the end of each window. One visitor at a time. Three 30-minute visits per week. Call the housing jail before evening visiting. Remote video is a separate NCIC product at videovisit.ncic.com.
Where should I send mail?
Sheriff Inmate Correspondence (checked 2026-09-12): non-privileged letters to NCIC, PO BOX 591, Longview, Texas 75606, with the booked name and Sheriff’s Office booking number. Envelope max 8.5×11; no more than 5 pages; write on the front only; maximum 1 photo per mailing. Legal and medical mail, magazines, newspapers, money, and books go to the jail street where the person is housed — not Longview. Do not send youth mail to Longview or to either adult jail.
How do phone calls and commissary money work?
Phone service: NCIC Inmate Communications. Commissary or deposit service: Cash or cashier’s check at the jail lobby or by postal service (Sheriff Visiting Information). Confirm the current facility and account type before paying.
Do youth use the adult jail rules?
No. South Lake Juvenile Treatment Center is handled through El Dorado County Probation Department. El Dorado County Probation operates this 40-bed juvenile detention facility at 1041 Al Tahoe Blvd, South Lake Tahoe. Official JTC page (checked 2026-09-12): opened 2004; call (530) 573-7980 to schedule a visit; fax (530) 543-6978. Not the adult jail at 1051 Al Tahoe Blvd. Do not use NCIC, CorrectPay, or Longview TX mail.
Does posting bail guarantee release?
Confirm custody on Current Inmates or the housing jail (Placerville (530) 621-6000 / South Lake Tahoe (530) 573-3030), then post cash or a licensed bail bond. Jail411 does not republish a bondsman directory. Criminal filings: Placerville Main Street Branch, 495 Main Street, (530) 621-5047; South Lake Tahoe Branch, 1354 Johnson Blvd, (530) 573-3044. Court felony/misdemeanor bail schedule PDF is on eldorado.courts.ca.gov/forms-filing/fees-bail-schedules. Work Program check-in 7:45 a.m. at the jails; court-ordered jail surrender is accepted without appointment. Intermittent (weekender) wait list: Placerville (530) 621-6007, Tahoe (530) 573-3031. Posting a bond does not guarantee release if a hold applies. An ICE detainer alone is not a lawful California hold (Gov. Code § 7284.6).
How do I report a correction?
Use Jail411's contact page and include the page URL plus an official agency source. Do not send private booking documents, medical records, or other sensitive personal information.
