This is a private reference site, not a government office. It cannot confirm custody, release a person, post bond, schedule visits, or pull official booking records. Use the official Butte County, California, state, or federal office that controls the record.
Official Butte Contacts
For jail custody and booking questions, start with the Butte County Sheriff's Office Corrections Division. The county contact pages list the Sheriff's main office and jail in Oroville, and the BCSO Records Office handles incident reports, bookings into jail, DOJ reporting, Live Scan appointments, permits, and related records work.

Use these routes based on the type of question:
- For someone booked into the county jail, use jail inmate records and the official BCSO weekly booking logs.
- For booking photos, review jail roster mugshots before asking Records whether a photo can be released.
- For charges filed after booking, use court records after a jail arrest and the Butte Superior Court portal.
- For a facility question, use the pages for Butte County Jail or the Butte County Male Community Reentry Program.
- For a sentenced state prisoner, search CDCR/CIRIS rather than the county booking-log PDFs.
- For federal or immigration custody, use the BOP inmate locator or ICE Online Detainee Locator System.
Records Request Routes
If a booking record, incident report, or custody detail is not visible in the weekly booking logs, the BCSO Records Office is the local fallback. Butte County also uses a Public Records Center powered by GovQA for countywide California Public Records Act requests, including archive search and account-based request tools.
VINE is useful for custody and court notification updates, but it is not the same as an official jail record. For court filings after an arrest, use Butte County Superior Court's case-information portal or contact the court directly.
