The legacy “Indio Jail” route opens the current John J. Benoit guide at 82675 St Hwy 111. The Sheriff retains “Indio Jail” as the postal name for certain mail. The guides separate Utah personal mail, jail legal mail and phone/trust accounts. Juvenile halls, state prisons, federal/immigration custody and city facilities have their own rules.

How many adult county jails does Riverside County operate?

The Sheriff lists five: Robert Presley, Cois M. Byrd, John J. Benoit, Larry D. Smith and Blythe Jail.

Which courthouse handles the case?

Use the case record and the court's location directory. The jail address does not determine the courthouse, and Riverside County has 13 public courthouse locations.

Are youth held in the adult jails?

No. Riverside County Probation operates separate juvenile halls in Riverside, Murrieta and Indio. Call Probation for the current youth placement.

How do I find the current jail?

Use the official Riverside County Sheriff inmate locator before driving, mailing, depositing money or selecting a facility's visiting instructions.

Are visiting instructions the same at all five jails?

No. Each Riverside County jail publishes its own schedule and reservation steps. Start with the facility shown in the current custody record.
