No. Court assignment must be confirmed through the official court record, court paperwork or Riverside Superior Court. Nearby custody locations are geographic references only.

Southwest Justice Center Is a Courthouse, Not a Jail

The Southwest Justice Center is a courthouse, not a Riverside County jail. Cois M. Byrd Detention Center is a separate correctional facility located in the same general Auld Road government complex.
