Access Mono County Inmate Records

Mono County provides online access to jail roster records through the Sheriff's Office website. The county uses a CitizenRIMS portal that shows current inmates held at the detention facility in Bridgeport. You can search by name or booking number to find people in custody. The system shows booking dates, charges, bond amounts, and other details about each inmate. Records update throughout the day so you see recent bookings and releases. The search is free and anyone can use it without creating an account. Most searches take just seconds to complete. Mono County is a small mountain county in the Eastern Sierra, so the jail handles fewer bookings than larger counties, but the online system gives you full access to custody information for anyone currently held there.

The Mono County Jail sits at 25 Emigrant Street in Bridgeport. This is the only detention facility in the county. Staff work around the clock to manage bookings and answer questions. Call 760-932-7549 any time to reach jail personnel.

Have the person's full name ready when you call. A booking number helps staff find the record faster. They can tell you if someone is in custody, what charges they face, and when their next court date is set.

Mail for inmates goes to 25 Emigrant Street with the inmate's full name and booking number on the envelope. The jail screens all mail before delivery. Do not send cash or items the jail bans. Check the rules on the sheriff's website before mailing anything to avoid rejection or delay.

Mono County Inmate Search Portal

Mono County runs an online inmate search at monosheriff.citizenrims.com that shows who is in custody at the Bridgeport jail. Type in a name or booking number and the system pulls up matching records. You see the person's age, booking date, charges filed against them, and bond amount if a judge has set bail.

The CitizenRIMS portal updates regularly throughout the day. New bookings appear within hours of arrival at the jail. Released inmates drop off the list as soon as they leave. If you do not find someone, they may have posted bail or been transferred to another county or state facility.

Mono County also uses CrimeGraphics for some records management. The CitizenRIMS site is the main public search tool. Call the jail if you need more details than what shows in the online search results.

Booking Process in Mono County

Arrests in Mono County lead to booking at the jail in Bridgeport. Officers bring the person in and staff collect their personal information. They take fingerprints and a photo. The system checks for outstanding warrants from other counties or states.

Inmates see a judge within 48 hours for arraignment. The judge decides if they can be released on their own recognizance or if bail is required. If bail is set, the inmate can post bond to get out while waiting for trial. If they cannot afford it, they stay in jail until their court date arrives.

Inmates who stay in custody get placed in a housing area. They can make phone calls, send mail, and have visits during set hours. The jail has rules about what inmates can have with them. Staff enforce these rules to maintain safety and order inside the facility.

Note: Mono County is very rural and has a small jail. The booking process works the same as larger counties but with fewer staff and a smaller facility.
