The Solano County Jail Roster, California, is a public resource that allows anyone to check who is currently in custody at the county jail. SolanoCourt.us helps find publicly available information about individuals who are or were recently detained. Additionally, data can be obtained through the official website of the Solano County Sheriff's Office, by visiting the facility in person, or by calling the jail line. The roster search allows you to learn the detention status, charges, and bail amount. The roster is maintained by the Solano County Sheriff's Office, which is responsible for operating the county jail. Data is regularly updated and posted on the office's website.
Search Current Inmates in Solano Jail
There are several ways to find out if a specific person is in custody at the Solano County Jail.
Online Search
- Go to SolanoCourt.us to find publicly available information about court cases and related records.
- For searching court materials related to criminal cases, use the Solano County Superior Court portal, which allows you to search case data by case number or party name.
- If the person has been transferred to a state facility, check the CIRIS (California Incarcerated Records & Information Search) system of the California Department of Corrections.
You will need the person's full legal name for the search. A booking number significantly speeds up the process if you know it.
By Phone
Call the Solano County Jail and ask the operator to check the detention status. Be prepared to provide the person's full name and date of birth.
In Person
Visit the jail during business hours. Approach the public information window in the facility's lobby.
Solano County Justice Center (Claybank Jail)
Juvenile offenders are not included in the public roster — their records are confidential under California law.
Find Solano Jail Booking Records Online
A booking record is created when a person is brought to jail and goes through the registration process. It is the first official document that records the fact of detention.
During booking, the following data is generated:
- Unique booking number
- Date and time of admission
- List of charges
- Name of the arresting agency
- Bail amount (if set)
- Photo of the detainee
Access to booking records can be obtained in several ways. The current roster on the Sheriff's Office website shows individuals currently in custody. If you need records of past bookings, submit a public records request in accordance with the California Public Records Act. Requests can be directed to the Solano County Sheriff's Office in writing.
To view criminal cases related to a specific booking, contact the Criminal Division of the Solano County Superior Court, which maintains records of criminal cases — from felonies to misdemeanors.
Search the Solano Jail Roster by Last Name or Booking Number
The roster supports two main search methods.
Search by Last Name
- Enter the person's last name in the search field. Adding the first name will narrow the results.
- Check the spelling — even one letter error can lead to an empty result.
- If the system supports partial search, try entering only the first few letters of the last name.
Search by Booking Number
If you know the booking number, enter it directly. This method provides an exact result without the risk of duplicates.
If the Search Yields No Results
- Check if the name is spelled correctly — try alternative spellings.
- The person may have already been released; the roster only shows those in custody at the time of the search.
- The detainee may still be undergoing the booking process — data appears with some delay.
- If the person has been transferred to a state facility, use the CIRIS database.
- Call the jail directly at (707) 784-7000 for clarification.
Jail Roster Updates and Search Limitations in Solano
The Solano County Jail Roster is updated throughout the day, but it is not instantaneous. There can be a delay of several hours to a day between the physical admission of a detainee and the appearance of their data in the online roster — depending on the facility's workload and time of day.
Several important limitations to be aware of:
- Publication Delay. Recently arrested individuals may not appear in the roster immediately after being delivered to jail.
- Record Disappearance After Release. Once a person is released, their record is usually removed from the current roster. The roster is not an archive of all past bookings.
- Data Entry Errors. Sometimes names or other data are entered incorrectly during booking, complicating the search.
- Transfers. If a detainee is transferred to another facility or state prison, the record may disappear from the county roster.
To obtain archival records or information no longer displayed in the current roster, submit a written request to the Solano County Sheriff's Office in accordance with the California Public Records Act. Also, the Records, Fees & Forms page of the Solano County Superior Court will help find court materials related to a specific case.
