VINE Notifications in Humboldt County

You can also register for alerts. VINE will notify you when an inmate is released, transferred, or has a court date. Alerts come by phone, text, or email. Pick the method you prefer. Many people use this to avoid calling the jail multiple times.

The online VINE portal works the same way. Go to the VINE website and select California, then Humboldt County. Search by name to see current custody status. If the person is not in the system, they may have been released or transferred to state prison.

Booking and Bail in Humboldt County

When someone gets arrested in Humboldt County, they go to the jail in Eureka. Booking starts right away. Staff take fingerprints and a photo. They collect personal property. Background checks run to find warrants or prior arrests. This process can take several hours depending on how busy the jail is.

Bail gets set based on the charges and a county bail schedule. Minor offenses have lower bail amounts. Serious crimes cost more. Some people get released on their own recognizance, which means no bail is required. Others must pay the full amount or use a bail bond company.

Bail can be posted at the jail. Bring cash, a money order, or a cashier's check. Personal checks are not accepted. If you use a bail bondsman, they handle payment directly with the jail. Once bail is posted, release can take a few hours. Call ahead to confirm payment methods and times.

People who cannot make bail stay in custody until their court date. First appearances happen within 48 hours of arrest. A judge reviews the charges and bail amount at that hearing.
