Yuba County Jail

Visiting someone at Yuba County Jail takes some planning. Many California facilities use an online portal—like GTL/VisitMe or a Visitation Scheduling Application—where you create or "claim" an account, sign in, and book an appointment. You can schedule from a computer, smartphone, or tablet. Some locations also offer on-site video stations or remote video visits, though availability depends on the facility. Rules, visit types (in-person vs. video), sign-up windows, and background-check requirements can all differ. Check the Yuba County Jail visitation page before you travel. Bring a valid, unexpired government photo ID, confirm you're on the incarcerated person's approved visitor list, and review minor visitor rules and any required paperwork.

Communication services at Yuba County Jail may shift as California transitions to a single statewide provider for phone calls, video visits, and electronic messaging. During this rollout, the app or vendor can change, and new services may become available at different times. Current guidance describes standard audio calls from institution phones and tablets as free, but what's free—and what costs extra—varies by facility and platform. For video visits or electronic messaging, you'll typically need to create an account on the department's communications platform (web or mobile) and register for video service before scheduling. Most systems require adding prepaid funds through the platform. Confirm Yuba's current system before signing up or loading money.

Dealing with a Yuba County infraction? The form option you choose affects what you pay. Option 1 lets you forfeit the full bail amount and close the case—no further proceedings. Option 2 also forfeits bail but adds traffic school, requiring full bail plus a $52 court administrative fee. Some arraignment or trial choices may require depositing bail under Vehicle Code 40519(a). Option 4 is a proof-of-correction route: $25 per corrected vehicle-code violation and $180 for proof of correction of a fishing license. For someone currently incarcerated, adding funds to a trust account for commissary, phone time, and permitted purchases is commonly done through online/mobile portals, phone deposits, lobby kiosks, or U.S. Postal money orders. Confirm what's accepted and use the person's full name and booking/facility ID so funds post correctly.
