Understand jail and prison differences

Clear information.
Clear boundaries.

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.

Which Placer County jail should I use?

Check the Sheriff's current in-custody report. Adult custody may be at Auburn Jail or South Placer Jail in Roseville.

Is the juvenile detention center an adult jail?

No. Placer County Juvenile Detention Center is a separate Probation facility with youth-specific contacts and rules.

How do I confirm adult custody?

Check the Sheriff's In-Custody Report, then call Auburn Jail at (530) 745-8500 or South Placer Jail at (916) 409-8100 when current housing needs confirmation.

How do South Placer visits work?

Schedule video visiting through ICSolutions at least 24 hours ahead. On-site video uses 11801 Go For Broke Road, while minimum-security in-person visiting uses 11701 Go For Broke Road.

Where do personal letters go?

Use Smart Communications, P.O. Box 9229, Seminole, FL 33775-9229, and identify Auburn Jail or South Placer Jail. Legal mail and publisher books go to the current jail's street address.
