No Online Glenn County Roster
The official Glenn County Jail page publishes visiting hours, inmate trust-account deposit methods, Smart Deposit instructions, and the incarcerated persons handbook. It does not publish an official live Glenn County jail roster, booking list, mugshot gallery, or public inmate-search form in the reviewed county materials. That makes Glenn County different from counties that run a vendor roster where a last name search returns current bookings.
The practical result is simple. Current Glenn County inmate records start with a phone custody check or a written request, not a county web search. The jail is operated by the Glenn County Sheriff's Office, and the facility page identifies Glenn County Jail as the county's Type II local adult detention facility. The jail holds people pending arraignment, after arraignment, during trial, and after sentencing for local commitment. A person already sentenced to a California state prison sentence should be searched in CDCR CIRIS, not treated as a missing county roster result.
Roster status: No official Glenn County online jail roster, live inmate-search form, booking list, or mugshot gallery was located in the official sources reviewed.
Use Glenn County Custody Channels
Because Glenn County does not provide a public roster form, the search process is a fallback chain. Start with the most likely custody system. If the person was just arrested by the sheriff, Willows law enforcement, Orland police, CHP, or another local agency, begin with Glenn County Jail. If charges have been filed, the Glenn Superior Court case index can show the court case and hearings. If a sentence or transfer has already occurred, the search may leave the county jail system.
- Call Glenn County Jail at 530-934-6428 for current custody, visiting eligibility, and basic routing. Have the person's full legal name, date of birth if known, arrest date, and arresting agency ready.
- If phone staff cannot release the record you need, use the sheriff's Request for Release of Records and choose Arrest/Booking Record or N/A - Public Record Request.
- After charges are filed, search the Glenn Superior Court case search or the online case index/register of actions for case numbers, filed charges, hearings, and dispositions.
- For sentenced California prison custody, search CDCR CIRIS. CDCR records are state-prison records, not county jail booking records.
- For federal custody, use the BOP inmate locator. For immigration custody, use ICE ODLS or ICE detention information at 1-888-351-4024.
- Use VINELink California as a custody-status notification layer when the person appears in a covered system.
There is no official Glenn County sheriff mobile app with an app-only roster, warrant search, or most-wanted tool in the research reviewed. Use the direct jail, sheriff records, court, and locator channels instead.
Glenn County Roster Search Fields
A normal roster search table would list last name, first name, booking number, and facility filters. Glenn County's official jail materials do not provide those fields because no public roster/search portal was located. The search-field inventory therefore needs to show the absence clearly, so readers do not waste time looking for county filters that are not present on the jail page.
| Field Label | Type | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| County roster last name | Not available | Not available | No official Glenn County Jail public roster/search form was located. |
| County roster first name | Not available | Not available | Use the jail phone or sheriff records request instead of a county roster field. |
| Booking number | Not available online | Not available online | Ask the jail or include the case/incident number on the records form if known. |
| Facility filter | Not available | Not available | Glenn County's facility map identifies only Glenn County Jail for county jail custody. |
The court portal is different. The court calendar guidance says public users do not need an account for public case or hearing searches, and its Smart Search can use partial names with an asterisk. That helps after charges are filed, but a court search is not a live jail roster and may not confirm present custody.
Glenn County Booking Field Inventory
Since no Glenn County online inmate profile could be inspected, the sample field inventory should not invent a roster layout. The fields below come from California Government Code 7923.610, which covers public contemporaneous arrest information, and from the sheriff records-release form. They describe the public arrest and booking categories that may be released unless a safety, investigation, juvenile, or protected-information limit applies.
| Field | What It Shows |
|---|---|
| Full name | Name of the arrested person, subject to statutory limits. |
| Occupation | Occupation is listed in the public arrest-information statute, though not every local release may display it. |
| Physical description | Date of birth, sex, height, weight, hair, eye color, or similar identifying details when releasable. |
| Arrest date and time | When the arrest occurred. |
| Booking date and time | When the person was booked into the jail. |
| Arrest location | Where the arrest occurred in Glenn County or nearby jurisdictional context. |
| Factual circumstances | Basic facts around the arrest, with limits for safety and investigations. |
| Bail amount | Amount of bail set, if any. |
| Holding or release status | Current holding location, release time, or manner of release. |
| Charges and holds | Charges, warrants, probation holds, parole holds, or other holds tied to custody. |
| Booking photo | Not confirmed online for Glenn County; request through sheriff records if needed. |
| Case or incident number | Identifier that helps the sheriff records staff or court locate related records. |
Booking charges and court charges can differ. A jail booking record reflects the arrest and custody basis. Formal criminal charges appear only after prosecutor review and court filing. For the later court path, use the Glenn Superior Court case index rather than the jail records process alone.
Request Glenn County Arrest Records
The sheriff's records form is the main paper path when an inmate record is not online. The form is titled Request for Release of Records and covers the Sheriff's Office, Coroner, Civil Process, Office of Emergency Services, and Animal Control. For inmate-record work, the relevant choices are Arrest/Booking Record and N/A - Public Record Request. The form names Justin Gibbs as Sheriff/Coroner and Travis Goodwin as Undersheriff, and it lists the sheriff records address at 543 W. Oak Street, Willows, CA 95988.
| Request Item | Glenn County Detail |
|---|---|
| Form choice | Arrest/Booking Record or N/A - Public Record Request. |
| Requester fields | Name, date of birth, address, city/state/zip, and phone number. |
| Record description | Describe the record, add supplemental information, and include the case or incident number if known. |
| Incident details | Date or approximate date, time, location, and names involved. |
| Requester involvement | Victim, involved party, next of kin, parent or guardian, insurance representative, or public-record request. |
| Copy fee | $0.05 per page. |
The form warns that records can be withheld or delayed when release would endanger a witness or another person, endanger an investigation, involve protected state or federal information, involve juvenile records, or arrive incomplete or illegible. California Government Code 7922.525 also matters because it covers inspection, copies, and release of reasonably segregable portions after exempt material is removed.
Glenn County Jail Contact Card
The jail, sheriff records office, and court are close together in Willows, but they are not the same counter. Use the jail for current custody and visiting questions. Use sheriff records for an arrest or booking record request. Use the court after charges are filed.

County, State, Federal Custody
Glenn County inmate records can move between systems. County jail records cover local custody before arraignment, during trial, and for local commitments. CDCR records cover sentenced state prisoners after a state-prison commitment. BOP records cover federal custody. ICE ODLS covers immigration detention after transfer into ICE custody. VINELink is useful for notifications, but it is not a substitute for the sheriff, court, CDCR, BOP, or ICE record.
| Custody Stage | Where to Look | Important Limit |
|---|---|---|
| New local arrest or local jail hold | Call Glenn County Jail at 530-934-6428. | No official county roster is online. |
| Booking or arrest paperwork | Sheriff records-release form. | Juvenile, safety, investigative, and protected details may be withheld. |
| Filed criminal charges | Glenn Superior Court case index/register of actions. | Court records do not prove current jail custody. |
| Sentenced California prisoner | CDCR CIRIS. | No state prison is located in Glenn County. |
| Federal sentenced custody | BOP inmate locator. | Federal pretrial custody may involve USMS channels before BOP applies. |
| Immigration custody | ICE ODLS or ICE detention information. | ODLS cannot search under-18 records. |
Glenn County Jail Visitation
Visitation information belongs with inmate-record searches because many custody checks lead to a visit or video visit. Glenn County Jail uses both in-person and video visitation. Video visits can be scheduled through GTL's Glenn County video visit site or by calling the jail and speaking with the office technician. Each inmate is allowed two 30-minute visits per week, and video visits may count toward that weekly visiting time.
| Custody Category | Day | Public Visiting Time |
|---|---|---|
| Male inmates | Tuesday and Wednesday | 9 a.m.-noon and 1 p.m.-4 p.m. |
| Protective custody | Thursday | 1 p.m.-4 p.m. |
| Female inmates | Monday | 1 p.m.-4 p.m. |
| Administrative separation | Call jail | Designated by jail staff. |
Visitors need valid photo identification. People under 18 must be with a parent or legal guardian and provide legal documents for verification. Only two visitors may be in the visiting room at one time. Anyone recently incarcerated in Glenn County Jail must wait 60 days after release before visiting. People on active California parole, federal parole, formal probation, or Glenn County mandatory supervision are not permitted to visit.
Deposits After a Custody Check
Do not send money until custody and housing status are confirmed. Glenn County's jail page lists inmate trust-account deposit methods, but those are not bail-posting instructions. Smart Deposit may be used through mycarepack.com under Smart Deposit or through smartdeposit.com. Phone deposits are available at 866-394-0490.
| Method | Hours or Channel | Payment Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Online Smart Deposit | Website access when available | Debit or credit card; processing fee not listed in the county page. |
| Phone Smart Deposit | 866-394-0490 | Bilingual agents are available. |
| Jail lobby kiosk | Monday-Friday, 8 a.m.-5 p.m. | Cash and credit card. |
| Jail lobby window | Monday-Friday, 8 a.m.-5 p.m. | U.S. Postal money orders and cashier's checks only. |
| Care packs | Not available | The official jail page states care packs are not available at the facility. |
Note: Confirm current custody with the jail before scheduling a visit, mailing funds, or assuming a court case means the person is still housed locally.
Glenn County Booking Process
A Glenn County booking usually begins with arrest, transport to the jail, reception, search and property handling, identity checks, booking record creation, screening, classification, and housing. The custody manual includes policies for reception, inmate records, classification, medical screening, mental-health screening, searches, release, and population management. The handbook says classification may consider current charges, behavior, criminal history, prior facility discipline, gang affiliation, and other factors before housing placement.
Booking timing is not posted as a public roster-refresh rule because no county roster is online. For immediate custody status, the phone call comes first. For public paperwork, use the sheriff's records form. For formal charges and hearing dates, wait for the court filing and search the Glenn Superior Court case index. Booking is a jail intake event; arraignment is the court event where the defendant is informed of filed charges.
For booking photo details, use the separate Glenn County jail mugshots discussion, since the official county sources did not confirm an online photo gallery.
