How to Find Someone at George Bailey Detention Facility (Who's in Jail + Who to Call)

Before you search, gather a few basics so you’re not guessing: the person’s legal first and last name, date of birth, and any alternate spellings or aliases they might be booked under. If you know it, an approximate arrest or booking date helps too - especially when there are multiple people with similar names.

To look someone up at George Bailey Detention Facility, use the San Diego County Sheriff’s “Who’s in Jail” inmate search on the Sheriff’s website. That tool is designed to help you find recently booked individuals and typically shows identifying and case-related details - things like date/time of arrest, a booking number, criminal charges, a court date, and a projected release date (when available). If you’re not sure the person is at George Bailey specifically, this is still the best first stop because it’s the Sheriff’s countywide custody search.

• ✓ Use the person’s full legal name, and add their date of birth if you have it
• ✓ Try alternate spellings (hyphens, double last names, nicknames that might be recorded as a legal first name)
• ✓ If there are multiple matches, compare the listed identifiers to make sure you have the right person
• ✓ If the arrest was very recent, check again later - new bookings don’t always appear immediately

If you can’t find them in the Sheriff’s “Who’s in Jail” search - or the results don’t clearly match - call George Bailey Detention Facility directly at (619) 210-0385. Calling is especially useful when the arrest was recent, when you’re seeing multiple people with similar names, or when you need time-sensitive information that isn’t showing online yet.

When you call George Bailey Detention Facility at (619) 210-0385, staff can often help confirm whether someone is in custody and assist with basic custody-related details. In many cases, that includes practical identifiers like a booking number, and (when available) information tied to release or bail. What you’re told can depend on what’s been entered into the system and what staff are allowed to share.

• ✓ Call George Bailey Detention Facility at (619) 210-0385
• ✓ Have the person’s full legal name ready
• ✓ Have their date of birth ready (this helps staff distinguish between similar names)
• ✓ If you have it, keep any booking number or case information in front of you
• ✓ Be ready to briefly explain your relationship and what you’re trying to find out (location confirmation, booking details, bail questions)

1. Run the Sheriff’s “Who’s in Jail” search again - double-check spelling, try alternate versions of the name, and use date of birth if you have it.
2. Call George Bailey Detention Facility at (619) 210-0385 - ask staff to look the person up and confirm custody status.
3. Check with the arresting agency if you know it - if a local police department made the arrest, there may be a delay before the person appears in the Sheriff’s system.
4. Ask what to do next if information is limited - sometimes details can’t be shared right away; staff can tell you the best next step for your situation.
