How do I confirm someone is in Plumas County custody?
The county guide does not rely on an unverified web roster. Call Plumas County Correctional Facility at the published jail contact before travel, mail or payment.
Where are detained youth housed?
Plumas County does not operate its own long-term juvenile hall; the guide identifies the verified contracted youth route. Confirm current placement with Probation.
How do I arrange an adult jail visit?
Call (530) 283-6267 for an appointment. The official schedule has separate windows for women, men, protective custody and administrative segregation, so confirm the applicable time before travel.
Where does adult jail mail go?
Address it to the inmate at Plumas County Correctional Facility, 50 Abernathy Lane, Quincy, CA 95971. Do not use the Sheriff's administrative address or the contracted youth facility address.
How can I fund commissary?
Use Access Corrections online or call 1-866-345-1884. Approved packages use plumascountypackages.com or 1-800-546-6283; the jail may need to provide the inmate ID.
