This is a private reference site, not an Inyo County government office. We cannot confirm custody, release anyone, post bond, retrieve records, change a court case, or speak for the Sheriff's Office, jail, court, probation, CDCR, VINE, BOP, or ICE.
Official Inyo Contacts
Use the office that created the record or controls the custody status. A person released from the Inyo County Jail is usually checked through the jail, Sheriff's records or NextRequest, California VINE, and the related court case. A state-prison release belongs with CDCR, not the county jail roster.

The jail page states that the jail does not receive incoming calls for inmates. Use the jail number for custody or release questions, not to pass a message to a person in custody.
Sheriff Records and Public Records
Sheriff report copies generally require the Sheriff's request process and a $10 processing or copying fee. Eligible report requests may be emailed to Records@inyocounty.us. Broader California Public Records Act requests, including identifiable booking or release-record requests, go through Inyo County's public-records process and the NextRequest portal.

CDCR CIRIS
Use CDCR's California Incarcerated Records and Information Search for state-prison custody, release date, parole, or hearing information tied to a CDCR case. The CA.gov CIRIS service listing gives CDCR's phone number as 916-445-6713.
California VINE
Use California VINE for custody-status checks and release, transfer, or escape notifications when the agency feeds data into the VINE system. The statewide VINE phone number commonly published by California agencies is 1-877-411-5588.
