Cois M. Byrd Detention Center Lookup

Cois Byrd Jail Overview

Cois M. Byrd Detention Center is operated by the Riverside County Sheriff's Office Corrections Division. The official facility page listed Captain Jasmine Rodriguez as commander in the inspected research. Cois Byrd opened in 1993 and serves southwest Riverside County. Older official review material identifies the facility under the Southwest Detention Center name, so a JIMS result or older source may use Southwest wording while referring to the same Murrieta-area jail role.

The facility is connected geographically and operationally to the Southwest Justice Center area. Its location on Auld Road in Murrieta/French Valley makes it the key county jail reference for custody routed through southwest Riverside County. Research describes it as a Type II local booking facility. Older review material says men were housed, no women were housed in that review, and medical and mental-health staff were available.

Cois Byrd Capacity

Cois Byrd capacity has several official figures. The sheriff service inventory from 2016 lists 1,111 beds. The 2016 review gives a BSCC-rated capacity of 1,094. The BSCC 2022 rated-capacity list reports 1,142. Because the most recent BSCC capacity list is the strongest comparison source in the research file, 1,142 is the best current rated-capacity figure to use with a clear source caveat.

Riverside County's jail population is reported countywide in BSCC trend data, while facility-level pressure depends on classification, movement, court location, medical needs, and housing restrictions. A person listed at Cois Byrd in JIMS should be treated as a county jail inmate. Once a state-prison sentence begins, the correct locator changes to CDCR CIRIS and the Cois Byrd page should no longer be used as the primary custody source.

Search Cois Byrd Custody

Use the Riverside Sheriff JIMS inmate search for Cois M. Byrd Detention Center. JIMS is the county jail lookup system for Riverside Sheriff custody and booking records. It is not a CDCR, BOP, or ICE locator. The sheriff's inmate information page identifies JIMS as the online database for finding a booking number.

1. Open JIMS and enter the person's last name.
2. Add first name or date of birth to reduce false matches.
3. Set Gender to Any if the default value is uncertain.
4. Review Booking No., Name, D.O.B., Sex, and Incustody.
5. Open the booking link and confirm Cois Byrd or Southwest Detention Center in Current Facility.

JIMS profiles inspected in the research showed booking and arrest facts, current facility, and next court date when available. They did not show public mugshots, charges, bond amount, housing unit, or projected release date. If the lookup goal is formal charges after arrest, the Riverside Superior Court public portal is the better source after a case is filed.

Cois Byrd Contact

Call the main facility number when a JIMS record needs confirmation, when a recent booking has not appeared, or when visitor-entry details need to be checked before travel. The official facility source gives public parking in front of the jail. No parking rates, transit route, or detailed ADA entrance instruction were located in the research, so visitors should verify those points directly if they matter for the trip.

Cois Byrd is the southwest county facility, so it is often the most relevant jail for Murrieta, Temecula, French Valley, and nearby Southwest Justice Center routing. The facility should be contacted before arrival when custody status, visiting clearance, or public-counter access is uncertain.

Cois Byrd Visiting

Cois Byrd visitation follows countywide Riverside Sheriff rules. Visits must be scheduled by phone, normally one day before the desired visit. The county rules limit visits to about 45 minutes and generally no more than two visits per week. Visitors need valid government picture ID and should expect search and warrant-check procedures.

Visitors may not bring weapons, alcohol, illegal drugs, cameras, knives, O.C. or tear gas dispensers, smoking items, food, or drink into visiting areas. Clothing must meet the county dress rule, including coverage of the upper torso and lower or mid body. Attorney or special visits are handled by calling the facility.

Cois Byrd Mail Money

Regular mail for Cois Byrd inmates follows the Riverside Sheriff inmate mail policy. Ordinary letters go through Jailhouse Mail in Clearfield, Utah. They should not be sent to the Auld Road street address unless official directions change. Incoming mail is inspected for contraband and threats. Legal mail marked Legal Mail is inspected in the inmate's presence.

Access Corrections and kiosk fees are amount-based. Online and credit-card kiosk deposits range from $2.95 to $7.95 in the research table. Cash kiosk fees range from $1 to $3. No official phone-call vendor, video-visit vendor, tablet program, or commissary order limit was located for Riverside Sheriff facilities in the research.

Cois Byrd Booking Intake

Older official review material describes Cois Byrd, also identified as Southwest Detention Center, as a local booking facility. Public JIMS records can show the current facility, booked date and time, arrest date and time, arresting agency, arresting location, and next court date. A booking number from JIMS is useful when calling the jail, scheduling a visit, sending a money order, or making a records request.

If JIMS does not show a person after a recent arrest, try last-name-only search, set Gender to Any, and call the facility if the booking may be current. If the person has moved to state prison, JIMS is no longer the right locator. If the issue is a court charge or case status, check the court portal rather than relying on the jail profile.

Cois Byrd Records Fallbacks

Cois M. Byrd is the southwest county jail facility, and JIMS may use shorthand or older Southwest Detention Center wording in current-facility fields. Searchers should match the facility name carefully before scheduling a visit or sending money. JIMS is the source for the sheriff booking profile, not the full criminal court case. The inspected profiles showed booking and identity fields, current facility, and next court date, but not charges, bond, mugshot, housing unit, projected release date, or hold details.

When the question is documentary rather than immediate custody status, use Sheriff ISB Records or the GovQA Public Records Center. Include the name, date of birth if known, booking number, arrest date, and Cois Byrd or Southwest facility reference so the request can be routed. If the issue is filed charges after arrest, use Riverside Superior Court public access. If the person is sentenced and leaves the sheriff jail system, CDCR CIRIS becomes the custody locator. VINELink can support notification, but it should not be used as a substitute for JIMS, CIRIS, or the court portal.

The southwest location also affects court and visitor planning. Cois Byrd is tied to the Murrieta and French Valley side of the county, but Riverside County cases and custody movements can still shift by court calendar, classification, medical need, and available housing. A visitor should not rely on an old facility name, a third-party page, or a prior booking event. Check the current JIMS profile, then use the official Cois Byrd phone and visiting line before sending money or driving to the jail.

This is especially important for people searching by the older Southwest Detention Center name. The official page, the JIMS result, and the visitor's own notes should be reconciled before a visit is scheduled or a money order is mailed.

About Cois Byrd

Cois M. Byrd Detention Center is one of the clearest examples of Riverside County's regional jail geography. The county is large, and jail routing is not limited to downtown Riverside. Cois Byrd serves the southwest county side and may appear in older or shorthand material as Southwest Detention Center. The local parking fact, public parking in front of the jail, should be preserved because it is more useful than generic visitor language.
