The Santa Cruz County CA - Blaine Street Facility - Women is a low/medium-security detention center located at 141 Blaine St Santa Cruz, CA which is operated locally by the Santa Cruz 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. Santa Cruz County accepts inmates from surrounding towns, Santa Cruz 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 Blaine Street Women’s Facility was established in 1984 at 141 Blaine Street to incarcerate non-violent minimum-security women. Women serving time at Blaine Street are sentenced and fulfilling sentences of up to a year.
Currently there is no medium security facility for women only. Medium and maximum security women are incarcerated at the Main Jail, where the majority of women fit medium security criteria.
There are currently 39 women inmates housed in the Main Jail. Nine of those 39 inmates are sentenced and therefore eligible for housing at a medium facility. Although the majority of female inmates are housed in the main jail because they are either unsentenced or classified as maximum-security inmates, the Sheriff’s Office recognizes the need for a Women's Medium Security Facility to provide alternate housing opportunities for our medium security women inmates.
