Tehama County Sheriff Current Inmates

The Tehama County Sheriff posts a current inmates list on the department website at inmates.tehamaso.org. This page shows a plain text roster of everyone held at the Tehama County jail right now. The list includes each inmate's name, booking date, charges, and bail amount. It is a basic format compared to what bigger California counties offer, but it gets the job done. You can scroll through the full list or use your browser's search function to find a specific name.

The Tehama County roster updates as bookings and releases happen. New arrests show up once booking is complete. People who post bail or get released for other reasons drop off the list. Since Tehama County is on the smaller side, the roster is usually short enough to browse without any advanced search filters. On any given day you might see a few dozen names on the list. The format is straightforward. Each entry takes up a few lines showing the key details you need.

For records that are not on the current list, call the Tehama County jail at (530) 529-7910. Staff can check past bookings and tell you if a person was recently in custody. In-person requests at the jail lobby work too during normal business hours. The jail is at 22840 Antelope Boulevard in Red Bluff.

Note: Tehama County's online roster is one of the more basic tools in California, but it covers the same public booking data that larger counties provide through fancier search portals.

Tehama County Records and the Law

Booking records in Tehama County are public under Government Code 6254(f). This is the California law that requires law enforcement to release basic arrest data. The name, charges, bail, and booking date all fall under this rule. The Tehama County Sheriff uses this authority to post the online jail roster. There is no fee and no restrictions on who can view it.

Full criminal history is different. Penal Code 11105 restricts access to complete criminal background records in California. These files stay with the DOJ. You can not get a full background check through the Tehama County Sheriff or any county office. To pull your own record, submit fingerprints and a $25 fee through a Live Scan provider. Red Bluff has providers that serve Tehama County residents for this purpose.

The Tehama County Superior Court in Red Bluff also has criminal case records. These include filings, plea deals, and sentencing orders. Court records provide more detail than what the jail roster shows. Contact the court clerk for access. Some records may require an in-person visit to view at the courthouse.
