The Placer County Jail-Auburn is a detention center located at 2775 Richardson Drive Auburn, CA which is operated locally by the Placer 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. Placer County accepts inmates from surrounding towns, Auburn 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.

In response to a federal court order restricting the daily population to 148 inmates, construction of a 260-bed addition commenced in 1990, culminating in the opening of the new housing wing in April 1992. This expansion, funded through Propositions 52 and 96, introduced three medium-security dorms, two housing 92 inmates each and one accommodating 44 inmates, alongside a maximum-security module with a capacity of 32 inmates. The dormitory housing units adopt a direct-supervision model, with a custody officer stationed inside each dorm and indirect supervision from a housing booth. Additionally, with BOC approval, most cells have been doubled-bunked to optimize space utilization.

The Auburn jail facility commenced operations in July 1985, funded by Proposition 4, the inaugural jail funding measure, with an initial construction cost of $4.5 million. Despite being originally rated for 108 inmates by the California State Board of Corrections (BOC), the facility quickly surpassed capacity, reaching 148 inmates within two months and eventually accommodating 272 inmates by 1990.
