Our INMATE ROSTER is currently undergoing maintenance and a security audit. We expect it to return by mid-December. Apologies for the inconvenience.
Mission Statement
The mission of the Sierra County Detention Facility is to provide quality and professional services to our public, employees and offenders. Values are to: exceed public expectations; promote human dignity, fairness, and self-worth; achieve fiscal solvency; expect mutual accountability.
The primary function of the Detention Facility is to safely and securely detain both pretrial detainees and County-sentenced inmates. However, staff members understand that inmates are subject to deprivations resulting merely from confinement and staff’s role is not to inflict punishment, but to make the inmate’s period of confinement as productive as possible.

- Visitation is not permitted while the detainee is in Sierra County.
- Attorney Visits:
- Attorneys are allowed to visit their clients at any time if the detainee is in Sierra County for intake, court, or release, provided there are no safety or security risks.
- Facility-Specific Visitation:
- Visitation may be granted at the facility where the detainee is housed.
- Individuals wishing to visit an incarcerated person must adhere to the visitation protocols of that specific facility.
