Search the Sheriff Public Booking Log or call (415) 473-7316, then use this guide for GTL VisitMe appointments at 13 Peter Behr Drive, Pigeonly mail (code 1102), Access Corrections money, and ConnectNetwork phones. Sheriff HQ at 1600 Los Gamos Drive is not the visitor lobby. San Quentin is a CDCR prison — different search, mail, and visiting.

Marin County Jail Public Booking Log
Sheriff homepage and Detention Bureau (checked 2026-09-12): Public Booking Log at apps.marincounty.gov/BookingLog (Detention Bureau also links apps.marincounty.org/BookingLog). Public data on persons arrested and booked into Marin County Jail in the last 48 hours who are still in custody, and a complete list of inmates as of the time the search is run (Gov. Code 6254 f (1)). Sheriff FAQ: call the jail at (415) 473-7316 — they can say if someone has been arrested, charges, whether they will be released on bail, cited, or OR, and the bail amount. Custody FAQ also prints (415) 499-7316 for the housing sergeant / no-internet lookup (Marin’s old 499 prefix; the live FAQ uses 473-7316). Jail411 does not host inmate names. CIRIS is CDCR (San Quentin), not this jail. Custody Division: 2022 bookings 5,454 and average daily population 245 — dated 2022 figures, not a live count. Houses men and women; no one under 18 except cases dictated by law. Sheriff Jamie Scardina.

Money and commissary
How to send money to Marin County Jail.
The published deposit route is Access Corrections / Keefe commissary; ConnectNetwork for phones and tablets. Confirm the person is still housed here and keep the booking number ready before depositing.
- 01
Custody FAQ (checked 2026-09-12): four ways onto the inmate trust / Keefe commissary account — (1) accesscorrections.com, (2) telephone 1-866-345-1884 with the inmate ID#, (3) ACCESS kiosk in the jail lobby (cash and credit/debit cards, fee; money will not be accepted at the lobby window), (4) money order mailed to the jail made out to Marin County Jail, inmate name and ID#.
- 02
If cash is mailed, it is returned to the sender. The inmate gets a receipt for money orders.
- 03
Commissary packages: marinpackages.com.
- 04
ConnectNetwork (Detention Bureau): deposit on the tablet account (Debt Link); deposit on the phone account (PIN debit). Custody FAQ also lists Global-Tel Link Advance Pay at 1-866-230-7761 or the GTL kiosk in the lobby. Detention Bureau prints 800-183-8314 for PIN debit. Customer service 877-650-4249.
- 05
An inmate may release money they arrived with within the first 48 hours. After 48 hours they must request a release for sergeant approval.
- 06
Do not mix this with Juvenile Hall (no Access Corrections / NCS is the youth phone vendor) or San Quentin (CDCR money rules).
Release and property
Bail, property, and commissary pickup
24 hours at this jail — exact amount (415) 473-6653
Custody FAQ (checked 2026-09-12): the jail accepts bail 24 hours a day for inmates in this custody or held elsewhere on a Marin warrant. Cash (US currency); postal money order or bank money order made out to the Clerk of the Court issuing the warrant or having jurisdiction; surety bond from a California-based company; Cash Advance Bail using GovPay (credit cards) 888-604-7888 / govpaynet.com. No personal checks. Detention Bureau: the Booking Log bail amount may be an approximation — exact bail (415) 473-6653. Marin Superior Court 2026 Uniform Bail and Penalty Schedules (Felony, Misdemeanor, traffic, and local ordinance PDFs on marin.courts.ca.gov/forms-filing/uniform-bail-and-penalty-schedules). Jail411 does not publish a bondsman directory (the FAQ still links a yellowpages search — we do not repeat that as a directory). Confirm the person is still here. Posting a bond does not guarantee release if a probation hold, parole hold, or out-of-county warrant applies. Sheriff Immigration page: MCSO does not honor ICE civil detainers; ICE civil enforcement is not done at the jail; transfer only on a judge-signed warrant or court order. An ICE detainer alone is not a lawful California hold (Gov. Code § 7284.6).
Lobby forms; Prisoner Services (415) 473-7268
Custody FAQ: medical/psychological concern forms are at the jail lobby; 24/7 medical and psych staff. Emergency: (415) 499-7316 as printed on that FAQ. Prisoner Services (415) 473-7268 if you need help visiting someone with a mental illness. NAMI Marin namimarin.org. Property-release steps beyond money-in-the-first-48-hours are not itemized on the reviewed pages — call (415) 473-6655.
Call (415) 473-6655 — pickup window not on the FAQ
Not published as a pickup window on the reviewed Custody FAQ. Call (415) 473-6655.
After booking
Court, a lawyer, probation, and parole.
Court, counsel, and probation are separate from the jail. State parole is a different agency. This is the process a family actually has to walk—not a directory of private bondsmen or attorneys.
3501 Civic Center Drive
DA FAQ: in most circumstances the first court appearance is in 2 court days. Custody FAQ: jail staff give court dates only in domestic-violence cases (PC 646.93); all other inquiries go to Marin Superior Court (that FAQ still prints (415) 473-6225 — the live court location number is (415) 444-7000 / criminal (415) 444-7070). On the court date, check the posted calendar; if the name is not on it, report to the Criminal Clerk’s Office with ID and arrest paperwork. Official location (checked 2026-09-12): Monday–Friday 8:00 a.m.–4:00 p.m., unavailable 12:00–1:00 p.m. Mail PO Box 4988, San Rafael, CA 94913.

Room 127, Civic Center
Criminal Division: ask the judge for a court-appointed attorney and complete the financial determination. Ability-to-pay orders can be treated as a civil judgment.
Official Adult Charges page (checked 2026-09-12): if you are in jail, an attorney from the Public Defender’s Office will visit to determine whether you qualify. Out of custody: Room 127, 3501 Civic Center Drive. Public Defender David Joseph Sutton. Phone from DA Contact (415) 473-6321. Immigration attorney (415) 473-7480. All jail phone calls and non-attorney visits are recorded — do not discuss the case. This office is not visiting.
Probation is not parole
A probation hold can block release after bail. Official check-in page: Rooms 265/266; urine testing Room 242. Chief Marlon Washington. Pretrial supervision is a separate Probation program (stay-at-home while awaiting trial) — not walk-in bail.
Youth are Juvenile Hall at 16 Jeannette Prandi Way — (415) 473-6705 — not this adult check-in door. State parole is CDCR, not this department.
No Marin DAPO row
CDCR Northern Region directory updated 9/11/2026 does not list a Marin office. Nearest listed units: Santa Rosa, 3222 Airway Dr. Ste.
