SAN JOAQUIN COUNTY JAIL: Jail Website

San Joaquin County, as mandated by Section 26605 of the Government Code of the State of California, operates facilities to detain, for varying periods of time, adults who are awaiting arraignment, trial, disposition or serving sentences.

Detention facilities are only a part of the County's Criminal Justice System. Since each part of the system affects the nature and size of the jail population, we endorse the full development and use of alternatives to incarceration.

   1. Alternatives to prosecution (such as diversion programs).
   2. Alternatives to detention (such as bail, release on own recognizance or citation release).
   3. Alternatives to incarceration (such as community service, restitution, work or education furlough, County Parole, Alternative Work Program (AWP) and Home Detention).

The facility serves as a county intake center and provide for the detention of unsentenced persons and for incarceration of sentenced persons. A primary function of the jail is to provide facilities for secure confinement. All facilities provide housing and services of equal quality for all persons. Juveniles are not detained in the facility.

The San Joaquin County Jail is a new generation jail managed under the concept of Direct Supervision. Persons housed will be confined under the least restrictive conditions, based on past and current behavior. Those housed who by their actions show they will adhere to facility rules, follow the directions of staff and not cause problems will be provided free access to make collect phone calls, visiting, recreation, religious and education services. On the other hand the facility is constructed so as to restrict some or all privileges for those who display disruptive behavior.
 
MEDICAL AND DENTAL SERVICES

Health Care services are available seven days a week at the jail facilities. Correctional Health Care (a component of San Joaquin General Hospital) provides medical service in the inmate housing units, the facility Clinic, the Medical Unit, or at the Security Ward located at San Joaquin General Hospital. Mental Health services are available at the facilities upon request or staff referral. Inmates may be charged a fee (co-pay) for some medical services provided.

The facility operates a full pharmacy for the dispensing of prescribed medication. Several neighboring counties contract with the facility for pharmacy services. Over the counter medications are available through the inmate commissary.
 
COMMUNICABLE DISEASE INFORMATION AND EDUCATION

Hepatitis, AIDS and Tuberculosis education, counseling and testing is provided at the jail facilities.

PRE-TRIAL RELEASE

Most persons are eligible for release prior to trial. The following are types of available releases:

   1. Misdemeanor Citation release by Pretrial Services prior to the first court appearance.
   2. The inmate, family or friends may deposit cash Bail for the full bail schedule amount by contacting the Jail Records Unit at the facility. This MAY or MAY NOT be returned by the court upon case disposition.
   3. Bail Bonds may be arranged through a bail agent any time prior to court case disposition. A list of bail agents is posted in the booking facility, on inmate bulletin boards and in all telephone books. Bail agents charge an allowable fee for writing bail bonds.
   4. Own Recognizance (O.R.) releases (promise to appear in court) are arranged, in some cases, by a Pretrial Services representative at booking. The inmate or the inmate's attorney may request the court consider an O.R. release or bail reduction at court appearances.

SENTENCED INMATE RELEASE

Good conduct while incarcerated may be legally rewarded in various ways. The following are some of the ways in which a sentenced inmate may be released from custody.

Sentence Modification may be granted by the sentencing Judge. The attorney who represented the inmate on the matter may be able to provide information about and assist with completion of the required application for a sentence modification.

Good Time is provided to all inmates unless the inmate's record indicates that the inmate has not satisfactorily complied with the reasonable rules and regulations established by the Sheriff. One day is deducted for each six days of satisfactory confinement.

Work Time is provided to all inmates unless the inmate's record indicates that the inmate refused to satisfactorily perform labor as assigned by the Sheriff. One day is deducted for each six days of satisfactory confinement, in addition to time earned for Good Time. If all time allowed for Good Time and Work Time is earned, four days in confinement is deemed to have been six days confined.

County Parole is possible for all sentenced inmates unless prohibited by the sentencing judge, there are outstanding out of county warrants or holds pending or there has been poor behavior. All sentenced inmates are otherwise eligible and may ask Jail Records for an application.

Alternative Work Program (AWP) allows for individuals who are sentenced to jail to serve their time living at home and working in the community. Participants are assigned to work 8-10 hours daily on public works or for non-profit organizations. Each day worked in the community counts as two days served in jail. A fee is charged*. Additional information may be obtained from program staff by calling (209)(209)468-4620.
(*Note: Monies are released by a check, not cash and only on Wednesdays.)

Work/School Furlough is available for inmates serving time in custody who wish to continue to work or attend school while incarcerated. Generally, 30 days or more must remain on an inmate's sentence. A fee is charged. Additional information may be obtained from program staff by calling (209)(209)468-4620.

EMP (Electronic Monitoring Program) provides electronic monitoring of inmates who qualify to serve their sentence at their home in lieu of jail. Generally, 30 days or more must remain on an inmate's sentence. The inmate must have a residence and telephone in San Joaquin County. Repetitive drug violations, morals, or violent crimes are generally not considered. Additional information may be obtained from Program Staff by calling (209) (209)468-4620.
 
INMATE MONEY

Money taken at the time of booking is receipted and placed on the inmate's account. These funds may be used for commissary purchases while the inmate is in custody. Family and friends may deposit money on an inmate account at any time by contacting Jail Records. Money may be released on a one-time basis only by the inmate. The inmate must complete a Release of Inmate Funds Form and send it to Jail Records. 48 hours notice is required and acceptable identification listed by the inmate on the form must be presented by the third party receiving the money.

All personal property and clothing is collected and stored while a person is in jail. No personal property or clothing is allowed in the Pre-Trial facility unless medically necessary and limited personal property is allowed at the Honor Farm.

Inmates in Jury Trials who wish to wear personal clothing, such as a suit or dress, must have their attorney deliver the clothing to Sheriff's personnel at the Courthouse inmate staging area at the Court where the trial is taking place.

Personal property and clothing may be released on a one-time basis only by the inmate.

A property bond involves the court recording a lien on a property to secure the bail amount. If the defendant does not appear in court, the court may seize the property. This type of bail is not as common as it is a lengthy process. The process generally takes several weeks as the court requires that equity in the property be equal to 150% of the total amount of bail required. The Value is confirmed by two court appointed appraisers. Due to the lengthy process this is the least common method of posting bail. We serve San Joaquin County Jail, California.

Generally if the defendant is not eligible to be released on his own recognizance he will be given the option to bail. The most common type of bail is a Surety Bond. The process involves a contractual undertaking guaranteed by a Bail Agency such as Mr. Bond Bail Bonds and the individual paying for bail. The bail agent guarantees that the defendant will appear in court on each occasion that the judge requests him to.  San Joaquin County Jail 7000 Michael Canlis Blvd French Camp, CA 95231.
