The Lake Co Jail is a detention center located at 4913 Helbush Dr Lakeport, CA which is operated locally by the Lake 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. Lake County accepts inmates from surrounding towns, Lakeport 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.
The Hill Road Correctional Facility (or Lake County Jail) opened its doors in 1990 following the completion of the first phase of construction. The facility's development continued until 1999 when it became fully operational, encompassing 68,193 square feet. With a state-rated capacity to house 297 inmates, the Sheriff’s Office is staffed with 68 full-time employees, including 52 sworn positions, dedicated to maintaining the safety and security of the facility.
Designed to be nearly self-sufficient, the Hill Road Correctional Facility offers on-site medical care, food services, laundry, visitation, and educational programs. As the central reception center for all arrests made in Lake County, the facility also supports the Lake County Sheriff’s Office, Clearlake Police Department, California Highway Patrol (CHiP), and other local, state, and federal law enforcement agencies. On average, over 4,000 individuals are brought into and booked at the facility each year.
Individuals who do not post bail within the first twenty-four hours are required to appear before a judge. During this first appearance, conducted either in person or via telephone, the judge informs the arrested person of the charges against them and sets the bond amount.
Following the intake process, which includes property inventory, medical screening, and booking, inmates are assigned to the general population. Housing assignments are based on the classification of their charges, whether felony or misdemeanor, to ensure proper management and safety within the facility.
After processing, inmates are assigned to a housing area based on classification. Compliance with jail rules typically results in a lower classification and more privileges, while rule violations or additional charges lead to a higher classification and fewer privileges. Inmates serving as trustees within the jail undertake various tasks, including cooking, laundry, and commissary management, often receiving minimal compensation or sentence reduction for their services.
The jail is designed with "pods," featuring a large common area with affixed tables and attached seats, and individual cells typically on two levels. Inmates spend certain times in their cells and other times congregating in the pod for activities like playing cards, games, reading, or watching television. Movement outside the pod, such as trips to the commissary, library, or recreation area, occurs under the constant supervision of unarmed correctional officers. The environment in the county jail is considered less stressful than that of a prison because the sentences are much shorter.
The jail offers a phone program for outbound calls only, with inmates unable to receive incoming calls. Accepting collect calls can be expensive, sometimes exceeding $10 per call. Alternatively, setting up an account through a third-party phone company may entail high fees per minute of usage. Click here for discounts on inmate calls, especially if the communication with your inmate is frequent. It's important to remember that all phone calls are recorded, and discussing sensitive legal matters over these lines is discouraged.
Books and magazines ordered for inmates must come directly from the publisher. This policy ensures that the items are new, untampered, and comply with the facility's regulations. The Jail enforces this rule to prevent the introduction of contraband or prohibited materials. By restricting orders to publishers, the facility can better maintain security and control over the content entering the institution. Any books or magazines not received directly from the publisher will be rejected and not delivered to the inmate. You may, however, send letters and selfies to inmates with this easy-to-use app, packages starting at only $8.00.
Inmate workers are chosen based on conduct and cooperation with staff. Participation in the community service program can sometimes reduce sentences. Commissary is available weekly, with orders submitted via kiosk two days in advance. On holidays, there may be increased spending limits. Upon receiving commissary items, inmates must present their ID, check their order, and sign for it in the presence of the commissary employee. Indigent inmates are provided with all essential basic hygiene items including USPS stamps and writing materials.

The visiting rules at Lake County Jail are designed to ensure a secure and orderly environment for both inmates and visitors. It is important to note that if an inmate has lost visiting privileges due to disciplinary action, it is the inmate's responsibility to inform their visitors. Individuals currently on parole or probation are not permitted to visit. Each visit lasts 30 minutes, beginning on the hour or half-hour, with each inmate allowed only one visit per visiting day.
For all housing units, up to two visitors are permitted per visit. Children aged four and older count as a visitors, while those under four must sit on an adult's lap and be supervised at all times. Visits are non-contact, taking place through glass. Visitors to Housing Unit B or the Booking area must call at least 24 hours in advance to schedule a visit. Split visits are not allowed across all housing units.
All visitors, including minors, must be registered at the reception desk and provide valid U.S. government-issued photo identification, such as a driver’s license or passport. Temporary permits, expired licenses, and credit cards are not accepted.
Visitors are expected to conduct themselves appropriately; any disruptive behavior or attempts to bring contraband into the facility will result in the visit being terminated and may lead to prosecution. The dress code is strictly enforced, requiring all visitors to wear shoes, shirts, and undergarments. Prohibited attire includes short shorts or skirts, tank tops, halter tops, tight or revealing clothing, coats, jackets, hooded sweatshirts, and any clothing that displays gang affiliations or offensive material. Visitors not adhering to the dress code may be refused entry but will have the opportunity to change and return later.
Personal items, except for a single car key, are not allowed in the visiting room. Handbags, coats, backpacks, and electronic devices must be secured in a locker in the reception area, which costs 25 cents. Visitors should leave unnecessary items at home or in their vehicles, as the visiting staff will not be responsible for personal belongings.
If a visitor leaves the visiting room for any reason, their visit will be considered terminated, so it is important to stay in the designated area for the duration of the visit.
Visitors who have been convicted of a felony and confined in any state prison must first receive approval from the Jail Commander or designee before entering jail grounds. Failure to first receive approval may result in arrest and/or prosecution for a felony charge under California Penal Code section 4571.
