Releases from Calaveras County Adult Detention Facility
The Calaveras County Adult Detention Facility is the primary county jail in San Andreas. The Sheriff's Detention Facility page says the Custody Bureau includes the detention facility, county jail, work release program, prisoner transportation, and court security. It also identifies the jail as the central booking and intake location for law-enforcement agencies operating in Calaveras County. That role makes the facility the first local source for a jail booking and release record.
A person leaving this facility may go to the community, local probation, CDCR state custody, another county, federal custody, immigration custody, a hospital, or another law-enforcement agency. The public Citizen RIMS "Incarcerated People" view is current-custody oriented. Once a person leaves the facility, the current inmate listing may no longer show them. That roster change should be checked against a VINE alert, court disposition, Sheriff release record, probation or parole contact, or the receiving agency record.
Confirm Calaveras Facility Releases
Release confirmation from this facility depends on the release path. If the person is still in county custody, Citizen RIMS and the jail phone are the first checks. If the person has left the current custody view, use VINE for custody-status change, the Superior Court portal for the legal reason, and the Sheriff's Records Division for the booking and release record. If the court case led to state prison, switch to CDCR CIRIS. If the person moved into federal or immigration custody, use BOP or ICE and then request the local handoff record from the Sheriff.
- Search Citizen RIMS Incarcerated People to determine whether the person is still housed at the county jail.
- Use the Calaveras VINE page or VINELink for release notification and custody-status changes.
- Check the Calaveras Superior Court portal for bail, dismissal, sentencing, probation, warrant, or commitment entries.
- Request the jail release record from the Sheriff's Records Division when exact release date, release time, release reason, or receiving agency is needed.
- Search CDCR CIRIS, BOP, or ICE only when the release path points outside county jail custody.
The official Calaveras Sheriff Detention Facility page is the source for the jail's contact and custody-bureau context.
Use the facility contact for current custody and release logistics, then use records or court channels for a durable release explanation.
Calaveras Facility Records Contact
The facility and records office share the same San Andreas address in the research source, but they serve different tasks. The jail phone is the direct contact for current custody and facility questions. The Records Division is the better route for a copy of the booking and release record, booking-photo procedure, or record fields such as release reason and receiving agency. Requests should identify the person, approximate booking date, booking number if known, case number if known, and the specific release fields requested.

The Sheriff fee schedule lists "Records Photo/CD" at $11.00. Treat that as the confirmed Calaveras photo or media fee source, not a promise that every booking photo will be released. California law, court sealing, juvenile status, investigative exemptions, and record-specific limits can affect what the Sheriff's Office releases.
About Calaveras County Adult Detention Facility
This is a county jail and adult detention facility, not a CDCR prison and not a federal detention center. It holds people pending trial and people convicted of crimes in Calaveras County. It also supports work release, prisoner transportation, and court security under the Sheriff's Custody Bureau. That mix matters because not every person housed there is on the same release path.
A pretrial detainee may be released by bail, recognizance, citation, dismissal, or court order. A person serving a local sentence may be released after sentence completion or credits. A person sentenced to state prison may be released from the jail by transfer to CDCR. A person with another agency hold may leave the facility in the custody of that agency. The Calaveras County release record should state the reason or destination when it is releasable.
| Facility fact | Release-search value |
|---|---|
| County jail and adult detention facility | Use county jail records and Citizen RIMS first, not CDCR as the first step. |
| Central booking and intake point | The arresting agency may differ from the Sheriff's Office, but the jail record remains local. |
| Custody Bureau includes transportation and court security | Court events and jail movement can both affect the release path. |
| Current-custody public view | A missing entry requires VINE, court, records, or receiving-agency confirmation. |
Current Custody Versus Release
The public search mistake is simple: a current custody system is used as though it were a release archive. Citizen RIMS is still useful. It can show whether someone is presently held and can give recent arrest context if the event is new. It does not replace a release record from the Sheriff's Records Division or a case disposition from the Superior Court.
When a person does not appear in current custody, ask what changed. VINE may report a custody status change. The court portal may show bail, probation, dismissal, sentencing, commitment, or a warrant. The Records Division can provide the official booking and release fields if public and releasable. CDCR, BOP, and ICE only apply when the person moved into those custody systems.
| Question | Best Calaveras source |
|---|---|
| Is the person still in the county jail? | Citizen RIMS Incarcerated People or the jail phone. |
| Was the person released from the facility? | VINE alert/status and Sheriff's release record. |
| Why did the jail stay end? | Calaveras Superior Court register of actions and case records. |
| Did the person go to state prison? | CDCR CIRIS, CDCR records, and the court commitment entry. |
Release Pickup and Transfer Limits
The detention page publishes the facility address, phone, fax, and public hours, but it does not publish release processing times, weekend release procedures, or a public exit-point policy. Family or other approved contacts should call the jail before travel when pickup timing or property return is the issue. Court action can happen before jail processing is complete, and a release can change if another hold, warrant, transfer, or court order exists.
Rural travel planning also matters. The research source identifies Calaveras Connect as the public transportation source for the county. Use Calaveras Connect for public transit planning rather than assuming urban transit options near the jail. Property and identification questions should go to the jail or Records Division because no public release-property policy was confirmed.
Note: Call the jail before pickup plans when release timing, property return, or transfer status is unclear.
Court and Facility Setting
The current release-search task should stay anchored to the modern Adult Detention Facility and the Calaveras Superior Court record. The Judicial Council's Calaveras courthouse facility page describes a courthouse with courtrooms, clerk space, court security operations, a holding area, and related support space. That setting helps explain why some jail releases are visible first as court events and only later as jail records.
Historical San Andreas courthouse and jail context can be locally interesting, but it should not be treated as the source for modern release confirmation. For a recent release from the Calaveras County Adult Detention Facility, use the current jail, current Records Division, current court portal, and the receiving agency record. The home page carries the broader Calaveras County released-inmate search and release-record workflow when more than one agency may be involved.
