Find Plumas Jail Releases

Plumas Jail Release Paths

The Plumas County Sheriff's jail page identifies the local correctional facility in Quincy and gives the jail phone as 530-283-6267. For released-inmate work, the key fact is the information boundary on that official page. Jail officers are limited in what they may release, and the page says court dates and release information are not given out by phone for safety reasons. Officers may release charges and bail amounts, but the completed release path must be confirmed through records.

A person leaving this facility may go home on bond or citation, leave after time served, move into county probation or alternative custody, transfer to CDCR, move to another county, or be picked up by a federal or immigration agency. Those outcomes do not all appear in the same place. The current custody view may drop the person, while the arrest entry, court case, VINE status, and sheriff record remain the better confirmation points.

Confirm a Plumas Jail Release

Use the local systems in order. The goal is to separate a current inmate from a person who has left the jail but still has a pending case or supervision duty.

1. Check Citizen RIMS Incarcerated People for current custody, charges, bail, booking date, status, and any out-date or out-time field.
2. If the person is not in the current custody view, check Citizen RIMS Arrests. That route can show a recent booking after release, bail, citation, transfer, or dismissal.
3. Search California VINE by name or identification number for custody-status, release, location, or transfer notices.
4. Use Plumas Superior Court record searches to confirm bail, disposition, sentence, warrant, probation, or dismissal.
5. Submit the sheriff's Application for Release of Public Record when a formal booking and release entry is needed.

Note: Absence from the current jail view is a clue, not proof of final release status.

Plumas Jail Records Contact

The facility contact is useful for basic custody, charge, and bail questions, but the official jail page limits phone release details. For a release record, ask for the booking date, charges, bail, release date and time, release type or manner, transfer destination if any, and any releasable hold information.

Plumas Custody Fields

Plumas County's Citizen RIMS system separates current custody from recent arrest information. That distinction is central to a release search from this facility.

Plumas Jail Facility Context

Local reporting adds context for this facility without changing the release-record path. The Plumas Sun reported that a new jail facility opened in June 2024 and that a long-running federal consent decree ended on May 1, 2026. The same report cited April 2026 jail figures: 52 bookings, average daily population 32, high 41, low 28, 39 misdemeanor arrests, and 13 felony arrests.

Those numbers explain why the arrest and current-custody routes can change quickly in a small county. A recent booking may be visible for a short window, while the person may already have left custody by bond, citation, sentence credit, or court order. Court and sheriff records remain the record path when the online view is no longer enough.

Plumas Release Record Details

California Government Code section 7923.610 is the state-law anchor for the public portion of arrest and release information. It supports access to listed arrest basics unless a specific item is withheld for safety or investigation reasons. For this facility, the most useful phrase is "time and manner of release." That language lets a records request ask whether the person left by bond, citation, time served, court order, transfer, or another custody event.

Plumas County does not publish one public web page that contains every release field. The record is assembled from several places. Citizen RIMS may show the booking event or current status. VINE may show a status change. The court record may explain the legal action. The sheriff records response is the path for the formal jail entry when it is releasable.

Plumas Facility Address Note

The research found two address forms for the same jail: the official jail page lists 56 Abernethy Lane, while correspondence material uses 50 Abernathy Lane. The release pages should not treat those as two separate facilities. For release confirmation, the better wording is Plumas County Correctional Facility in Quincy, paired with the official jail phone and sheriff records route.

That distinction prevents a common records error. A user may see one spelling on a jail page, another on correspondence, and then assume a transfer occurred. A transfer should be based on the release record, court document, VINE status, or receiving-agency record, not on a street spelling variation. If a record shows CDCR, BOP, ICE, or another county, then the receiving system should be searched next.
