The Stanislaus Co Jail is a low/medium-security detention center located at 200 E Hackett Rd Modesto, CA which is operated locally by the Stanislaus 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. Stanislaus County accepts inmates from surrounding towns, Modesto 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 Public Safety Center facility has a 918 bed capacity for medium and maximum male and female inmates. In 1992, the direct supervision concept was opened. This was followed by incremental openings of additional modulars within the Safety Center and a 196-bed minimum facility in 1994 directly East of the Safety Center. In October 2013, an additional 196-bed facility was opened directly East of the Safety Center. These housing facilities are referenced as Unit 1 and Unit 2.

In 1992, the direct supervision concept Public Safety Center, located six miles south of downtown Modesto, was opened. This was followed by incremental openings of additional modulars within the Safety Center and a 196-bed minimum facility in 1994 directly East of the Safety Center. In October 2013, an additional 196-bed facility was opened directly East of the Safety Center. These housing facilities are referenced as Unit 1 and Unit 2.

Inmates confined within the Facilities will have equal and adequate access to telephones in order to maintain community ties and contact with legal representatives. Collect call telephones are located in the day room area of your housing unit. These telephones are available to Inmates at any time during "Inmate Free Time". To utilize the phone, simply lift the receiver and follow the posted instructions. Telephone calls will be limited to fifteen (15) minutes in duration in order to provide telephone access to all inmates.

If an inmate is assigned to Administrative Segregation or the Maximum Security section of the Public Safety Center, they will be permitted access to the telephone during their scheduled recreation time.

All telephone calls are outgoing only. The staff of the Public Safety Center will not transfer incoming telephone calls to inmates, nor will they take telephone messages for them under any circumstances.

Newly admitted inmates will be given the opportunity to complete at least three local or collect long-distance telephone calls.

  • Inmates assigned to Protective Custody will be provided with the same telephone privileges as those available to the general population.
  • Due to the unique housing capabilities of inmates assigned to Administrative Segregation, telephone privileges will be provided for the inmates on a regularly scheduled basis.
  • Inmates assigned to disciplinary detention ordinarily are not provided telephone privileges as a condition of the discipline imposed. This should not preclude emergency telephone calls to designated practicing attorneys in connection with prospective or pending litigation.
  • Telephone privileges for the general population will be available on a daily basis.
  • Immediately upon being booked, and, except where physically impossible, no later than three hours after the arrest, an arrested person has the right to make at least three completed telephone calls. The arrested person shall be entitled to make at least three such calls at no expense if the calls are completed to telephone numbers within the local calling area.

Inmate Locator

Stanislaus County Public Safety Center publishes the names of the inmates currently in their facility in California. Your search should start with this locator first to see if your loved one is there.

The second box is the InmateAid Inmate Search. This database of inmates is user-generated content to access and utilize any or all of the InmateAid services. If you need our assistance creating your inmate profile to keep in touch, email us at aid@inmateaid.com and we will assist you in locating your inmate.

As a last resort, you might have to pay for that information if we do not have it. The Arrest Record Search will cost you a small amount, but their data is the freshest available and for that reason, they charge to access it.
