How do I find someone in San Mateo County custody?

Start with the official San Mateo County Sheriff Inmate Locator linked on this page. Confirm the booked name, identifier and current facility before using visiting, mail or money instructions. If the record is unclear, call (650) 599-3000.

Which adult jail should I use in San Mateo County?

The listed adult county facilities are Maguire Correctional Facility, Maple Street Correctional Center. Use the current custody record to choose the right building; one facility’s rules should not be assumed for another.

Can I use the adult jail rules for youth or other custody?

No. This guide separately identifies Youth Services Center — Juvenile Hall, Margaret J. Kemp Camp G.I.R.L.S. Program, San Francisco County Jail #3. Youth, state, federal, immigration, city-holding and other-county custody can use different locators, mail addresses, visiting rules and payment systems.

The published adult-jail mail format in this guide is: Smart Communication-San Mateo County Jail / Attention to (INMATE NAME-ID NUMBER) / P.O. BOX 9126 / Seminole, FL 33775-9126. Confirm the current facility and read the mail notes before sending; a jail street address is not always the inmate-mail destination.

What should I confirm before a visit?

Confirm the person’s current facility, housing or eligibility, the current schedule, visitor approval and identification rules, and where to check in. Call the facility before a long trip because housing and schedules can change.
