Shasta County inmate search and jail information
The jail is at 1655 West Street in Redding, not the sheriff's administrative office on Park Marina Circle. The official jail page links Shasta County Inmate Lookup; the separately linked state-prison locator covers a different custody system.
Shasta houses people awaiting arraignment or trial and people serving local commitments. Confirm the person's identity, booking details and housing with jail staff before a visit, payment or pickup. The jail page includes operational notices and bail instructions, making it a better starting point than an old copied visiting schedule.
How to search for someone in custody
Start with the custody information published by the Shasta County Sheriff's Office. Have the person's full legal name and, ideally, a date of birth ready. If an online lookup is available, compare identifying details rather than relying on a name alone. If you obtain a booking number, keep it with your notes for later questions to jail staff, the court, or an attorney.

Jail facilities
- Shasta County Jail, 1655 West Street, Redding, CA
Visiting, phone calls and mail
The reviewed jail page includes a construction-related visiting resumption notice. Check the current notice and confirm that the visiting-request process is operating before traveling. Advance requests are reviewed and a time is communicated after approval; submitting a request is not proof of admission. Obtain current mail and telephone instructions separately.
Court and bail
Criminal cases here are handled by the Superior Court of California, County of Shasta.
Confirm the active booking, any holds and the current release order with custody staff before arranging bail in Shasta County. Ask which payment methods, payee and receiving location apply to that specific booking. Inmate-account, phone and commissary deposits are separate from posting bail. Use the Superior Court for the case-specific order and hearing information rather than calculating a payment from a general schedule. For a person housed elsewhere, confirm which agency accepts payment and where pickup occurs. A listed bail amount does not guarantee immediate release. This is general information, not legal advice.
