Mojave / Mojave Jail
Search Inmate Search or call (661) 824-7147 and confirm the person is still at Mojave — many east Kern arrests transfer to Lerdo Justice Facility in Bakersfield. This door is 1771 Highway 58, next to East Kern court at 1773. Public Visiting does not print a Mojave last-name schedule.

Kern County Sheriff Inmate Search
Official Inmate Search (checked 2026-09-12). Jail411 does not host inmate names. Official Detentions Bureau: Mojave Jail receives people arrested in the Mojave area and holds them pending release or transfer into Bakersfield. Bureau table lists (661) 824-7141; Mojave Substation page labels MOJAVE JAIL (661) 824-7147. Substation (661) 824-7130. Dispatch (661) 861-3110. If Inmate Search shows Lerdo, use 17801 or 17695 Industrial Farm Road — not this desert door. CIRIS is CDCR. California City ICE is a different system at 22844 Virginia Boulevard.

Three things to confirm before the trip.
Confirm the person is still at Mojave before you drive. Official Public Visiting (checked 2026-09-12) prints last-name schedules only for Lerdo Pre-Trial and Lerdo Justice Facility — not Mojave.
- 01Confirm Mojave
Search Inmate Search or call (661) 824-7147.
If the person has already transferred, use Lerdo Justice Facility (17801) or Pre-Trial (17695). Do not assume a same-day hold is still here.
- 02Visiting
No Mojave last-name table on Public Visiting.
County remote Securus hours are Sunday–Saturday 8:00–11:45 a.m., 12:30–5:45 p.m., 6:30–8:00 p.m. Call the jail line before you plan an on-site trip. Remote video still requires the person to be in a KCSO jail with a Securus terminal.
- 03Arrive at 1771 Highway 58
Not 1773 (East Kern court) and not 1775 (DA / Probation).
Mojave Substation covers about 1,320 square miles, about 65 miles east-southeast of Bakersfield. Bring government photo ID. Eat and fuel in town — the jail campus is remote.
01 / Visiting
Mojave Jail visiting hours.
Official Public Visiting (checked 2026-09-12) publishes on-site last-name schedules for Lerdo Pre-Trial and Lerdo Justice Facility only. Mojave is not in those tables. County remote Securus hours: Sunday through Saturday 8:00–11:45 a.m., 12:30–5:45 p.m., 6:30–8:00 p.m. All KCSO jail visits are recorded and may be monitored. Call (661) 824-7147 to confirm whether an on-site visit is available for someone still housed here. People held at Mojave are often moved to Lerdo. If Inmate Search shows Justice Facility or Pre-Trial, do not come here.

Phone calls
Mojave phones and video Securus if still in KCSO custody.
County inmate phones and video are Securus (1-800-844-6591 / videovisitanywhere.com) for Sheriff detentions. Mojave is a short-hold door — confirm the person is still here. California City ICE uses GettingOut / other ICE vendors, not this county Securus path.
- 01Confirm housing
Inmate Search before you buy a video slot.
A transfer to Lerdo still uses Securus. A transfer to ICE does not.

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.
