Robert Presley Detention Center Inmate Search

How to Search for an Inmate at Robert Presley

1. 1

   Gather identifying information

   Collect the person's legal name and any additional details you have — date of birth, gender, or a booking number if available. A booking number is not required to submit an inquiry on this site.

2. 2

   Use the public JIMS search

   Search the official Riverside County Sheriff inmate-information system using the current field requirements. A full legal last name is required; adding a first name and date of birth helps narrow results.

3. 3

   Check the custody location in the record

   The returned record shows the current custody location. Confirm that location before following instructions specific to Robert Presley or another facility.

4. 4

   If no record appears, request assistance

   Verify the name spelling and any identifying details. Booking and the publication of custody information can take time — processing varies by the arresting agency, facility workload and the person's circumstances. If the person still does not appear, submit an inquiry or contact the facility directly. An unsuccessful search does not confirm that someone is not in custody.

Booking Numbers and How to Use Them

A booking number is assigned when a person is processed into custody at Robert Presley Detention Center. It is the most reliable identifier for locating a specific record in the JIMS system, especially when multiple people share the same name.

If you have a booking number, enter it in the JIMS search to retrieve the record directly. If you do not have a booking number, search by last name and narrow with date of birth and gender.

A booking number is not required to submit an inquiry on this site.

What to Do When an Inmate Cannot Be Located

If a search returns no results, consider the following before concluding the person is not in custody:

• Booking and the publication of custody information can take time — processing varies by the arresting agency, facility workload and the person's circumstances.
• The person may have been transferred to a different Riverside County facility.
• The name entered may not match the legal name on file.
• The person may have been released on bail or on their own recognizance.

If the person still does not appear after verifying the name and details, submit an inquiry or call (951) 224-9385 for follow-up assistance.
