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 Kings County custody?

Use the official Kings County Inmate Locator linked on this page. If the person is not listed or the booking is recent, call (559) 852-2812 and ask which facility currently holds them.

Which adult jail should I use?

The guide lists Kings 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 Visitation (Wayback checked 2026-09-12): Remote Video or Onsite Video. Register as a visitor or schedule a visit at icsolutions.com. ICSolutions facility list (checked 2026-09-12) includes Kings County Jail, CA. You can only schedule a visit after the current one has completed. No cellphones, cameras, or video cameras. No low-cut shirts, tube tops, or tank tops — you will be turned away. Custody Manual 602: valid government photo ID; maximum two adults and two children at one time; keys and ID only inside the secure area; no food or drink. Call (559) 852-2812 before you drive. Do not use adult ICS visiting for Juvenile Center or BRANCH.

Where should I send mail?

Sheriff contact block (Wayback checked 2026-09-12) lists P.O. Box 1699, Hanford, CA 93230 with Jail and Inmate information. Custody Manual 606 (Lexipol, published 2024-08-02): incoming/outgoing general mail processed within 24 hours; publisher books, newspapers, and magazines only; cash, personal checks, and money orders in the envelope are returned (608.4.2). Legal/confidential mail is inspected for contraband in the person’s presence, not read. Confirm the booked name and booking number on the Inmate Locator or (559) 852-2812. Do not send youth mail here — Juvenile Center is 1450 Forum Drive; BRANCH is 690 East Drive. Do not send CDCR mail here.

How do phone calls and commissary money work?

Phone service: Collect dayroom telephones (Custody Manual 605). Non-attorney calls may be monitored and recorded. Sheriff public visiting page names ICSolutions for visits; a phone-account brand is not printed on the Booking/Inmate Information or Visitation HTML checked 2026-09-12.. Commissary or deposit service: Jail commissary from the incarcerated-person account (Custody Manual 611). Cash, checks, and money orders are not accepted through the mail or at the Jail Information Window (Custody Manual 608).. Confirm the current facility and account type before paying.

Do youth use the adult jail rules?

No. Kings County Juvenile Center is handled through Kings County Probation Department. Kings County Probation operates this hall at 1450 Forum Drive, Hanford. Official Juvenile Center page (Wayback checked 2026-09-12): (559) 852-2970. Mail is 1450 Forum Drive — not P.O. Box 1699 and not adult ICS. Visiting is by unit (200, 300/Camp, Maximum Security). Not the adult jail.

Does posting bail guarantee release?

Confirm custody on the Inmate Locator or (559) 852-2812, then post cash or a licensed California surety bond. Jail411 does not republish a bondsman directory. Kings Superior Court publishes 2026 Felony, Misdemeanor, and Uniform bail schedule PDFs at kings.courts.ca.gov/divisions/criminal. Criminal clerk is 1640 Kings County Drive, (559) 582-1010, Monday–Friday 8:00 a.m.–4:00 p.m. Custody Manual 608: personal funds may be used as self-bail with a signed release; cash is not accepted at the Jail Information Window for deposits. 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.
