Shasta County Jail

To visit someone at Shasta County Jail, submit a visitation request at least 7 days before your preferred date, but no more than 30 days ahead. Before requesting, check the visitation schedule for the inmate's housing unit so you pick the right visiting days. Official visiting hours are 7:30 to 11:30 am and 6:00 to 10:00 pm every day, with an extra 12:30 to 4:30 pm window on weekends. Once approved, the jail assigns you a 30-minute time slot and sends an email with your confirmed time. Scheduling systems can vary, so review the jail's visitation page or scheduling portal instructions before booking.

Shasta County Jail handles prepaid phone services through ICSolutions. Family and friends fund calls through that vendor using the details on the jail's site. Some online tools tied to communications require you to create an account and sign in, which also means agreeing to the site's Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. For questions about calling accounts or other communication issues, the jail posts official phone numbers and contact lines on the county site. One practical tip: set up your communications account and add funds ahead of time. Platforms and vendors can change, and some sites may run on older systems during transitions.

Shasta County Jail uses Access Corrections for deposits and for bail, parole, or probation payments. Before sending funds online, confirm the incarcerated person's full name and their booking or facility ID so the deposit reaches the right account. Deposit options vary but commonly include an online or mobile portal, phone deposits, lobby kiosks, and U.S. Postal money orders, depending on what the vendor offers for this facility. Money added to an inmate's trust account can cover commissary, phone time, hygiene items, and other permitted purchases. Balances may be reduced by authorized or court-ordered deductions. Never mail cash. Follow the vendor's instructions, and be ready to create an account and agree to the service's terms if required.
