Todd Road Jail Overview
The official Todd Road Jail page describes a large county jail campus in the unincorporated area west of Santa Paula. The operator is the Ventura County Sheriff's Office Detention Services Division, the same division that runs the Pre-Trial Detention Facility and East County Jail. Todd Road holds county inmates within the Ventura County jail system rather than people sentenced to California state prison.
The sheriff says Todd Road Jail celebrated the 30th anniversary of its opening in 2025. Its campus has landscaped grounds and several environmental features, including solar fields, water reclamation, food recycling, and drought-resistant landscaping. Those details do not change the custody search path, but they help explain why Todd Road is described as a detention campus rather than a small booking room.
Todd Road's official overview is captured from the sheriff facility page.
The screenshot source is useful because it ties Ventura County Todd Road Jail content to the sheriff's own description of the campus, staffing, and programs.
Todd Road Jail Capacity
Todd Road Jail has a state rated capacity of 796 inmates, according to the sheriff's facility page captured in the research file. The same source reports more than 185 employees assigned to facility safety, security, and service delivery. Todd Road is also the home of Inmate Services for all Ventura County sheriff jail facilities, which makes it important for program access as well as ordinary housing.
The research file did not extract a current head count for Todd Road Jail. The sheriff's detention dashboard is described as updated every 30 days and may show countywide population, demographics, length of custody, booking, charge, and housing data. For one person's custody status, use the inmate search or the Todd Road phone line instead of relying on the population dashboard.
Search Todd Road Jail Roster
The roster path for Todd Road is the same county jail roster used for the Pre-Trial Detention Facility and East County Jail. The Ventura County Sheriff inmate search is the official first stop for current sheriff custody. It is not a Todd Road-only database, so the user should verify that the result is the correct person and then call Todd Road if housing or visit eligibility is unclear.
- Open the sheriff inmate information page and search by first and last name, or use the Booking # field when available.
- Add middle name or date of birth when the search returns more than one possible inmate.
- Review the result carefully before using the email icon, calling the jail, or arranging a visit.
- Call Todd Road Jail if the roster does not clearly show housing or visit status.
- Use CDCR CIRIS, BOP, ICE, or VINELink when the person may have left Ventura County jail custody.
| Channel | Use it when |
|---|---|
| Sheriff inmate search | The person is believed to be in Ventura County Sheriff custody. |
| Todd Road phone line | Housing, visit availability, or recent transfer status needs confirmation. |
| Sheriff records request | A booking sheet or authorized booking photo is needed. |
| CDCR CIRIS | The person may have been sentenced to California state prison. |
| BOP or ICE locator | The case may involve federal prison or immigration detention. |
| VINELink | Custody status notifications are needed after the first lookup. |
Ventura County jail records and formal court records serve different roles. A jail roster result shows county custody information, while a later court record shows filed charges, hearings, warrants, pleas, and case outcomes. If the sheriff roster does not answer the custody question, use the sheriff's Records and Licensing route for booking records, VINELink for custody notifications, CDCR CIRIS for sentenced California prison custody, the BOP inmate locator for federal prison custody, and the ICE detainee locator for immigration custody.

The Todd Road visiting schedule says visitors must check in at the Public Reception Lobby one hour before the visit starts. Inmates receive two 30-minute visits each week, with two visitors per visit. The schedule is organized by unit, including A, B, C, D, and HPU. The research file does not define HPU, so the schedule should be read as the official unit label only.

Todd Road Mail and Deposits
Mail for Todd Road inmates uses the county jail mail format, not the street address. Incoming mail must include the inmate's name and booking number at P.O. Box 6929, Ventura, CA 93006. The sheriff says wrongly addressed mail, mail with no booking number, and publications not sent directly from an approved source can be returned. Legal mail is screened in the inmate's presence.
| Service | Provider or detail |
|---|---|
| Mail address | Inmate name and booking number, P.O. Box 6929, Ventura, CA 93006. |
| Money deposit | JPay kiosk in lobby, JPay Direct 1-800-574-5729, online at www.jpay.com, or public counter deposits. |
| Phone calls | Securus Advance Connect prepaid accounts. |
| Video visit fee | Securus Video Connect requires at least $6.00 in prepaid funds and deducts $6.00 when scheduled. |
| Phone block or refund line | Securus 1-800-844-6591. |
Remote video visits must be scheduled at least 24 hours before the appointment and up to two weeks in advance. If the facility cancels or the visitor cancels at least two hours ahead, the $6.00 fee is credited back. No refund is listed for a no-show or lost internet connection.
Todd Road Jail Programs
Todd Road is the home of Inmate Services for the Ventura County sheriff jail system. The sheriff lists academic and vocational programs, substance-abuse and treatment services, re-entry planning, and religious programs. The program language in the research file refers to criminogenic factors and cognitive behavioral restructuring. In plain terms, those are risk and behavior patterns tied to future offenses, and the jail says its program work is aimed at reducing recidivism.
Programs do not make Todd Road a state prison. The county jail roster remains the correct lookup path for people housed there. When a Ventura County inmate receives a state prison sentence and transfers to CDCR, the search path moves away from the sheriff roster and into the statewide CDCR CIRIS locator.
About Todd Road Jail
Todd Road sits in the middle of Ventura County's three-jail operation. The Main Jail handles broad pretrial booking and housing functions, East County Jail handles 24-hour booking and housing in Thousand Oaks, and Todd Road adds capacity, programs, and a campus built for longer county detention needs. That makes Todd Road a common place to confirm custody after the initial booking point is no longer clear.
The Ventura County inmate population overview places Todd Road beside the Pre-Trial Detention Facility and East County Jail in the sheriff's detention map.
Note: Call Todd Road Jail before driving because inmate housing, visit eligibility, and unit schedules can change.
