Jail411 is an independent information resource for families and friends. We are not a government agency, jail operator, law firm or live custody-records service.
How do I find someone in Imperial County custody?
Use the official VINE / Jail & Inmate Information line linked on this page. If the person is not listed or the booking is recent, call (442) 265-2266 and ask which facility currently holds them.
Which adult jail should I use?
The guide lists Imperial County Jail. 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 jail page (checked 2026-09-12): call (442) 265-2266 for visitation. RADF (Main Jail) PDF effective March 20, 2023: in-person on-site barrier visits; sign-up 7:00 a.m.–6:30 p.m. the day of the visit; sign up at least one hour before the slot; first come first serve; U.S. local/state/federal government photo ID. Housing modules A–L plus Male/Female Medical have published days and times. Rules PDF: two visits totaling one hour per week; max two visitors (walking child counts; babies-in-arms do not, max two babies); one visit per day. OFDF and HHCC hours are not on that RADF PDF — HHCC lawn visiting is for sentenced programming workers. Legal visits: icjlegalinterviews@icso.org.
Where should I send mail?
Sheriff jail page (checked 2026-09-12): personal mail to Imperial County Jail, CA, Incarcerated Person's Name, SPN#, P.O. Box 247, Phoenix, MD 21131. Legal mail: Imperial County Jail, Incarcerated Person's Name, SPN#, 1328 Sperber Road, El Centro, CA 92243. Homepage footer still lists 1328 Sperber for RADF and HHCC inmate mailing — use the dedicated jail page split (personal vs legal). Do not send county-jail mail to 328 Applestill (Sheriff HQ), 324 Applestill (Juvenile Hall / Probation), Centinela, Calipatria, or ICE IRDF.
How do phone calls and commissary money work?
Phone service: no provider was confirmed on the reviewed official pages. Commissary or deposit service: GettingOut (Sheriff Corrections page: deposit money). Confirm the current facility and account type before paying.
Do youth use the adult jail rules?
No. Imperial County Juvenile Hall is handled through Imperial County Probation Department. Imperial County Probation operates this hall at 324 Applestill Road — the same street as Probation admin and the Iran Martinez Day Reporting Center, not the adult jail at 1328 Sperber Road. Official Juvenile Services page (checked 2026-09-12): reception and temporary care of detained minors; Title 15 staffing; visiting line (442) 265-2450. Sheriff PREA page also prints Juvenile Hall (442) 265-2425 as a third-party report line. Do not use GettingOut, Phoenix MD mail, or RADF visiting for youth. There is no separate Jail411 youth handbook because this hall is not a wp_jail411_facilities row — facts stay on this county hub.
Does posting bail guarantee release?
Confirm custody at (442) 265-2266. Imperial Superior Court publishes a 2026 Felony and Misdemeanor Bail Schedule and Uniform Bail & Penalty Schedule (effective Jan. 1, 2026) at imperial.courts.ca.gov/forms-and-filing/fee-penalty-and-bail-schedules. Criminal clerk is 650 Wake Ave, (760) 482-2245. Posting a bond does not guarantee release if a probation hold, parole hold, or out-of-county warrant applies. An ICE detainer alone is not a lawful California hold (Gov. Code § 7284.6). This is the process, not a bondsman directory.
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.
