Sutter County inmate search and jail information
Sutter County's Custody Status page provides access to VINELink and the sheriff's own incarcerated-person search. The county jail is on Civic Center Boulevard in Yuba City. Yuba City is in Sutter County, not Yuba County; nearby Marysville uses a separate custody system.
The sheriff describes its search as offering charges, bail and visiting details, while VINELink also supports notifications. Match the correct person and use Sutter Superior Court for hearing information and judicial orders. Recheck information that affects a payment, visit or pickup instead of relying on an earlier screenshot.
How to search for someone in custody
Start with the custody information published by the Sutter 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
- Sutter County Jail, 1077 Civic Center Boulevard, Yuba City, CA 95993
Visiting, phone calls and mail
Published rules describe non-contact visits and say ordinary appointments are not allowed; visitors sign up before the appropriate visiting period. The schedule distinguishes housing populations. Verify current rules before traveling and use separate mail or property procedures; visitors cannot transfer personal items during a social visit.
Court and bail
Criminal cases here are handled by the Superior Court of California, County of Sutter.
Confirm the active booking, any holds and the current release order with custody staff before arranging bail in Sutter 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.
