The Contra Costa County - Marsh Creek Detention (MCDF) is a detention center located at 12000 Marsh Creek Road Clayton, CA which is operated locally by the Contra Costa County Sheriff's Office and holds inmates awaiting trial or sentencing or both. Most of the sentenced inmates are here for less than two years. Contra Costa County accepts inmates from surrounding towns, Clayton Police Department, and the US Marshal's Service.
New detainees arrive at the jail regularly, with some being released on bail, placed under pretrial services caseloads, supervised by probation agencies, or released on recognizance with a court appearance agreement. Those who are not released await their court appearances at the jail, receiving accommodations including bedding and meals. You can see all the arrest records for California here.
The Marsh Creek Detention Facility (MCDF) is one of three primary jail facilities in Contra Costa County. Generally considered a minimum security facility by comparison, the MCDF houses incarcerated individuals who have been convicted of lesser crime classifications and have already been sentenced.
The MCDF is assigned twenty employees who are charged with running the facility’s day-to-day operations. The facility houses an average incarcerated population of 70, with a maximum housing capacity of 188. Frequently referred to as “the farm” because of its rural location, the MCDF encompasses approximately 32 acres of a 162 acre parcel located at the base of Mount Diablo.
At the MCDF, individuals are afforded opportunities for various programs, such as attending school, acquiring a GED, and participating in special courses that teach new skills and job-related training, including viticulture, wood shop, agriculture, cement work, and general construction.
The Marsh Creek Detention Facility staff and the Office of the Sheriff work in partnership with the community to provide a safe environment for those incarcerated in the facility, the staff, and the surrounding community.
