Different places to start.

A Madera County arrest usually means the county jail. A state sentence, a federal case or an immigration hold means a different system with its own locator and rules.

How do I find someone in Madera County custody?

Use the official Madera County Jail custody line linked on this page. If the person is not listed or the booking is recent, call (559) 675-7951 and ask which facility currently holds them.

Which adult jail should I use?

The guide lists Madera 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 Visiting Information (Wayback 2026-05-19): on-site video visits 7 days a week on JailATM.com; create an account; schedule yourself; on-site can also be scheduled in the front lobby at 195 Tozer Street. Two 30-minute on-site visits per week. Monday–Friday 8:00 a.m.–4:30 p.m. Saturday and Sunday 8:00 a.m.–4:30 p.m., closed 12:00–1:00 p.m. Max two visitors at once. Approved visiting list. Valid photo ID. Off-site visits also JailATM. Call (559) 675-7951 before you drive. Not Sheriff HQ at 2725 Falcon Drive.

Where should I send mail?

Sheriff Incarcerated Persons Mail Procedure (Wayback 2026-05-14; effective April 1, 2026): personal letters, pictures, and drawings to Facility Name, Incarcerated Person Name and Booking/ID #, P.O. Box 16120, Jonesboro, AR 72401. Processed: letters including drawings, greeting cards, postcards, 4x6 photos (limit 10 per parcel), unbound newsletters. Scanned then shredded — send copies, not originals. Packages and legal mail still go to the jail at 195 Tozer Street, Madera, CA 93638. Do not send youth mail or CDCR (CCWF / VSP) mail to Jonesboro.

How do phone calls and commissary money work?

Phone service: ICSolutions tablets (tech 866-228-4031). Commissary or deposit service: JailATM / lobby kiosk at 195 Tozer Street. Confirm the current facility and account type before paying.

Do youth use the adult jail rules?

No. Madera County Youth Correctional Center is handled through Madera County Probation Department. Madera County Probation operates this hall — one building, not two doors. Official Juvenile Detention Facility page (title Youth Correctional Center; Wayback 2026-04-20): 1655 E. Olive Avenue, Madera, CA 93638, (559) 675-7899, fax (559) 675-7620. Inventory still lists separate Hall and Detention Facility rows at stale Avenue 14 addresses; the live Probation page is this Olive Avenue door. Juvenile Services is next door at 1675 E. Olive Avenue, (559) 675-4970. Mariposa County’s official Juvenile Hall page names Madera among halls it contracts with for longer youth stays. Do not use JailATM, Jonesboro AR mail, or ICSolutions adult-jail accounts.

Does posting bail guarantee release?

Confirm custody at (559) 675-7951. Madera Superior Court, 200 South G Street, main (559) 416-5599; Criminal Division (559) 416-5550; clerk windows 8:00 a.m.–3:00 p.m. 2026 Felony & Misdemeanor Bail Schedule PDF on madera.courts.ca.gov/forms-filing/fee-bail-schedules. Case portal: madera-prod-portal.ecourt.com/public-portal/. Court: appointed counsel at arraignment; ability-to-pay goes to Revenue Services at 300 South G Street, Suite 100. 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). 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.
