Alameda County Handles Hayward Inmates

Santa Rita is at 5325 Broder Boulevard in Dublin. When Hayward PD books someone, they transport that person there for intake. The jail processes new arrivals around the clock. Staff collect personal info, take photos and prints, and assign housing. Each Hayward arrestee gets a booking number that tracks them through the system.

Some Hayward inmates may end up at Glenn Dyer Jail in Oakland instead. This smaller county facility near the courthouse holds certain inmates closer to court. Both jails use the same database. You can search once and find Hayward inmates regardless of which Alameda County facility holds them.
