How to use the Riverside inmate locator
- 1
Gather the details you know.
Start with the person's full legal name. A date of birth, booking number, arresting agency or city can help distinguish people with similar names. You can submit an inquiry without knowing the date of birth or current facility.
- 2
Request help or check the county records.
Use the inquiry form for assistance. If you prefer a self-service lookup, our JIMS and recent-arrests guide includes the Sheriff's search system and instructions for using it.
- 3
Confirm the current facility.
Match the person carefully and confirm where they are currently held. The city of arrest alone does not establish the person's current jail, and a facility assignment can change.
- 4
Use the correct facility guide.
Once the current jail is confirmed, check that facility's visiting, mail, money and property information before making arrangements.
Search for a Riverside County inmate by entering the person's last name in the Riverside County Sheriff's Inmate Information System. A first name, date of birth and gender can help narrow the results. If you cannot find the person, submit an inmate inquiry for follow-up assistance.
Search Riverside County Inmates by Name
- A last name is required by the official Riverside County Sheriff inmate system.
- Adding a first name, date of birth and gender can help narrow results when multiple people share the same surname.
- Recently arrested people may not appear immediately while booking is being processed.
- Custody location can change after initial booking — always confirm before traveling or visiting.
- The city of arrest does not determine which jail currently houses the person.
What information should you confirm?
Available custody records may include a booking number, current housing location, charges, bail information or court details. The fields shown can vary. Match the person carefully, confirm the current facility, and use the appropriate court or jail source for information that affects your next step. Submitting an inquiry requests assistance from our team; it does not generate a live custody record on this website.
Why doesn't someone appear in the inmate locator?
| Situation | Next step |
|---|---|
| The arrest was recent | Booking and publication may still be underway. Recheck later or request help with the information you have. |
| The name produces no match | Review spelling and name order. Try the legal last name in JIMS; add other known details to narrow a match. |
| The person was moved or released | Confirm current status with the responsible facility. A missing result alone does not establish that someone was released. |
| The custody agency is uncertain | Include the arrest city, agency, approximate date and any booking number in your inquiry. |
| The person may be in state custody | CDCR's CIRIS serves a different custody system. Ask for help identifying the correct agency before assuming a county-jail search will cover it. |
What Is the Riverside County JIMS Inmate Search?
Many people searching for Riverside County inmate information use the terms "JIMS" or "JIMSPUB" when looking for the Riverside County Sheriff's public inmate information system. The system allows you to search for people currently in Riverside County custody by last name, first name, date of birth and gender. Do not use the adult Sheriff inmate system to search for juvenile records — juvenile information is handled separately through Riverside County Probation.

Inmate locator assistance — common questions
Can I submit an inquiry without a date of birth?
Yes. Date of birth is optional on our inquiry form. Select "Date of birth unknown" if needed. Enter the inmate's name, your name and a callback number, and include any other details you know.
What if I don't know which Riverside County jail holds the person?
Choose "Unknown / Not sure" in the facility selector. Include the arresting city or agency and booking number if available. Our team can use the information you provide to help check the current custody location.
Is Riverside County jail the same as California state prison?
No. Riverside County jail information and California state-prison information come from different agencies and search systems. The Sheriff's JIMS system covers county custody information; CDCR provides CIRIS for people in its custody. The agency holding the person determines which resource to use.
What happens after I submit an inmate inquiry?
Our team reviews the details and uses the contact information you provide to follow up. A submission is a request for assistance. Include a working callback number and any booking details you already have.
