Money
Can families send money here?
Official Visiting & Mail and Juvenile Detention pages (checked 2026-09-12) do not publish a family commissary, deposit vendor, or “money on the books” path. Do not use MyCarePack, Smart Deposit, Access Corrections, 866-394-0490, or adult lobby kiosks for a youth. Case questions go to the assigned probation officer at (530) 889-7900, not to visiting staff.
This is not the adult jail deposit or commissary process. Do not send adult-inmate funds through a youth-campus workflow.

Who can be held at this hall
Official Juvenile Detention (checked 2026-09-12): youth who sustain an arrest for law violations in this county may be delivered here by a local law-enforcement agency.
