Larry D. Smith Correctional Facility Roster

Larry Smith Jail Overview

Larry D. Smith Correctional Facility is operated by the Riverside County Sheriff's Office Corrections Division. The official sheriff page lists Captain Alyssa Vernal as commander in the inspected research. The facility is in Banning on the San Gorgonio Pass side of Riverside County, which gives it a different practical role from the downtown Robert Presley jail and the Indio, Murrieta, and Blythe facilities.

The sheriff page calls Larry D. Smith the largest correctional facility in the Riverside County jail system. The research also identifies it as the county's strongest program and alternatives facility. Its operations are tied to Supervised Electronic Confinement, Work Release, Residential Substance Abuse Treatment, SITE-B, commercial printing, centralized warehouse and laundry work, counseling, vocational training, and educational programs. Those program details matter because they distinguish Larry D. Smith from a simple booking-only jail description.

Larry Smith Capacity

Official capacity evidence is consistent enough to use but should still be described by source. The 2016 sheriff service inventory lists 1,520 beds at Larry D. Smith. The 2016 review and the BSCC 2022 rated-capacity list report a rated capacity of 1,458. Older review material confirms men and women were housed and that medical and mental-health staff were available. The rated number is best for comparison across Riverside County jails.

Because Larry D. Smith is the largest Riverside County jail facility, a JIMS Current Facility result pointing to Larry D. Smith should be treated as a county custody result. It does not mean the person is in state prison. If the person has been sentenced to CDCR, the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation CIRIS locator becomes the correct custody tool, while Riverside court records remain the source for formal case history.

Search Larry Smith Roster

Larry D. Smith inmates are searched through JIMS, the Riverside Sheriff public inmate information system. The county's inmate information page links to that system and describes it as the online database used to find an inmate's booking number. JIMS covers sheriff jail custody. It is not the tool for federal custody, ICE detention, or sentenced CDCR prison placements.

1. Open the JIMS inmate search form.
2. Search by last name first because that field is mandatory.
3. Add first name and date of birth to narrow common names.
4. Select Gender as Any if the default setting may be wrong.
5. Open the booking-number link and confirm Larry D. Smith in Current Facility.

JIMS can show both Incustody Y and Incustody N results, so do not assume every visible record is a current housing record. The profile should be checked for current facility and booking details. Inspected profiles did not show charge text, bond amount, mugshot, housing unit, or projected release date. For filed charges after arrest, use the Riverside Superior Court public access system after the case is filed.

Larry Smith Contact

Use the main phone when JIMS is unclear, when a booking is too recent to appear, or when a visit, deposit, or program-related question needs facility confirmation. The official page provides a separate visiting scheduling line. It also gives a specific parking instruction: parking is west of the main gate, and handicapped parking is available. No official parking fees were found in the research.

Visitors should route to the official Hargrave Street address and plan around gate entry, search, and warrant-check rules. The facility's Banning location can be more practical for San Gorgonio Pass custody and program placement than downtown Riverside. Still, the Current Facility field in JIMS is the key source for where a person is held on a given day.

Larry Smith Visiting

Visits at Larry D. Smith use the Riverside Sheriff county jail scheduling model. Calls are made to the facility's visiting line from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., and visits usually must be scheduled one day in advance. County rules limit visits to two per week and about 45 minutes. A valid government picture ID is required, and visitors may be searched or checked for warrants before entry.

Prohibited visitor items include alcohol, illegal drugs, weapons, O.C. or tear gas dispensers, cameras, knives, smoking items, food, and drink in visiting areas. Dress rules require clothing to cover the upper torso and lower or mid body. Attorney and special visits are scheduled through the facility and should not be treated as ordinary public visits.

Larry Smith Mail Money

Mail for people held at Larry D. Smith follows the countywide sheriff mail policy. Ordinary letters are routed to Jailhouse Mail, not to the Banning street address. The mail policy says incoming mail is inspected for contraband and safety threats. Legal mail must be marked Legal Mail and is opened or inspected in the inmate's presence.

Access Corrections online fees in the research range from $2.95 to $7.95 depending on amount. Phone deposit fees range from $3.95 to $8.95. Cash kiosk fees range from $1 to $3. The money page states funds may be used for snacks, hygiene items, phone cards, and writing materials, but no official phone-call vendor or commissary order limit was located.

Larry Smith Intake Programs

Larry D. Smith should not be described as only a booking counter. The research ties it to the sheriff's largest correctional facility role and several support programs. SITE-B and related custody-management programs address reentry, job readiness, vocational skills, education, substance abuse, criminal thinking, veterans' needs, and community partnerships. Work release and supervised electronic confinement are also associated with the facility or the support operations described in the sheriff material.

For a person in custody, the operational path still starts with JIMS. A booking number can help with phone calls, records requests, visit scheduling, and money orders. If a profile points to Larry D. Smith as Current Facility, use the Banning facility contact and visiting number. If JIMS does not show the person and a state-prison sentence has started, use CDCR CIRIS instead of the county jail roster.

Larry Smith Records Fallbacks

Larry D. Smith records should be routed by the kind of question being asked. JIMS is the lookup for Riverside Sheriff custody, booking number, current facility, arrest and booking timing, and next court date when shown. The Riverside Superior Court portal is the place to check filed charges, case events, warrants that appear in a public case history, and disposition. That distinction matters because Larry D. Smith is a program-heavy jail, but it is still a county jail, not the source of the court case file.

For sheriff records that are not answered by JIMS, use Sheriff ISB Records or the GovQA Public Records Center. ISB Records is listed at 951-955-2440, and the research identifies the ISB lobby at 4095 Lemon Street, 5th Floor, Riverside, Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Police reports may be routed to the local sheriff patrol station rather than released through a general CPRA request. If a person is moved out of Larry D. Smith after sentencing, use CDCR CIRIS for state prison custody and keep the Riverside court file separate from the later prison-location record.

For current facility questions, the Banning facility phone remains the practical route because program placement, classification, work release, and custody-management details may not appear in the public JIMS profile.

About Larry Smith

Larry D. Smith Correctional Facility is the Riverside County jail page where program detail matters most. Its local identity is tied to Banning, the San Gorgonio Pass side of the county, the largest-facility role, and the sheriff's program operations. That makes it different from Robert Presley, which is the downtown booking hub, and different from Blythe, which serves the far eastern side of the county.
