Mariposa Jail Mugshots
The key Mariposa County finding is narrow and important: no official Sheriff's recent-bookings mugshot gallery, current-inmate photo roster, or public historical mugshot archive was located in the official sources reviewed. The county's public jail publication is the Daily Booking Report, a 24-hour PDF channel for people arrested and booked into the Mariposa County Adult Detention Facility.
The inspected Mariposa County booking PDF did not display mugshots. It did show arrest and booking fields that often appear next to mugshots in other counties, including date of birth, sex, height, weight, hair, eyes, race, residence city and state, charges, bond, warrant type and number, arrest agency, and jurisdiction. That does not make the report a photo roster. It remains a recent booking record.
For current custody and bail basics, call the Adult Detention Facility at 209-966-3616 or use VINE and VINELink. For a booking photo that is not posted online, the official route is a California Public Records Act request through the county's NextRequest portal. For filed charges after arrest, use the court portal instead of the mugshot page or jail report.
The Daily Booking Report page is the official Mariposa County source for the recent booking PDF.
The report page supports recent booking review, but it should not be described as a public Mariposa County mugshot gallery.
Find Mariposa Booking Photos
A factual Mariposa County booking-photo search starts by proving that a local booking exists. If a person was booked into the Mariposa County Adult Detention Facility within the last 24 hours, the Daily Booking Report may provide the booking number, date, charges, bond, warrant fields, arrest agency, and jurisdiction. If the person is no longer in the 24-hour report, VINE, jail phone confirmation, and NextRequest become more useful than repeating the PDF search.
- Check the official Daily Booking Report for a recent Mariposa County jail booking record.
- Call the Adult Detention Facility at 209-966-3616 for current custody and allowed bail information.
- Use Mariposa County VINE or VINELink for custody-status notification and facility confirmation.
- Submit a request through Mariposa County NextRequest if a booking photo or booking sheet is needed and not posted online.
- Use the Mariposa Superior Court portal for filed charges, court dates, and docket records after arrest.
The official Mariposa County CA Sheriff iOS app exists, but the App Store listing did not identify an inmate roster, warrant search, mugshot lookup, or records-request feature. It should not be used as the Mariposa County jail mugshots access channel based on the inspected listing.
Mariposa Booking Photo Fields
The public booking report is still useful when requesting a photo, because it gives the details needed to identify the correct record. A CPRA request is stronger when it names the person, booking number, arrest date, arrest agency, and the exact record sought. If the record has already dropped out of the 24-hour PDF, the requester can still cite the arrest date or approximate date range.
| Field | What It Shows |
|---|---|
| Booking Photo | Not visible in the inspected Mariposa Daily Booking Report PDF. |
| Booking Number | County booking identifier, useful for CPRA request matching. |
| Jailing Party Name | Name of the person booked, shown in last-name-first format. |
| Arrest Date Time | When the arrest entry occurred. |
| Physical Description | DOB, sex, height, weight, hair, eyes, and race fields. |
| Charges | Arrest or booking charges, not necessarily the final filed court charges. |
| Bond Amt | Per-charge bail or bond amount if shown. |
| Warrant Fields | Warrant type and warrant number when applicable. |
| Arrest Agency / Jurisdiction | Agency and court or jurisdiction label connected to the booking. |
Booking-photo questions should stay linked to the booking record. For the broader custody record, use Mariposa County inmate records. For whether charges were filed or later dismissed, use court records after arrest.
Are Mariposa Mugshots Public
California law requires release of basic arrest and booking information, but it does not mean every county must publish Mariposa County jail mugshots online. Government Code section 7923.610 requires state and local law-enforcement agencies to make public basic arrest information unless a safety or investigation exception applies. That listed information includes the arrestee's name, occupation, physical description, arrest and booking times, arrest location, factual circumstances, bail, holding location, charges, warrants, parole holds, and probation holds.
Key Statutes:
Government Code § 7923.610 requires release of basic arrest and booking information unless listed safety or investigation concerns apply.
Penal Code § 13665 restricts many law-enforcement social-media booking-photo posts and requires removal in many cases.
Civil Code § 1798.91.1 restricts businesses that charge or accept payment to remove, correct, or modify booking photographs.
The California Attorney General's 2024 legal alert says booking photos include station headshots commonly called mugshots and certain photos taken during or right after arrest, such as handcuffing or transport photos. The alert also notes that social media is different from an agency website or electronic data system run by the agency.
What Is Public
The public can obtain some arrest and booking information, but a Mariposa County mugshot is not guaranteed to appear online. The inspected Daily Booking Report showed no mugshot field image. The jail page also states that movement information, including court dates, medical appointments, and dental appointments, will not be released by facility staff.
| Record Type | Public Path | Limit |
|---|---|---|
| Recent booking data | Daily Booking Report PDF | Only covers people arrested and booked in the last 24 hours. |
| Current custody | Jail phone, lobby, VINE, VINELink | VINE can lag before a person is officially booked. |
| Booking photo | NextRequest CPRA request if not posted online | May be withheld or redacted under safety, investigation, juvenile, or other legal limits. |
| Filed charges | Mariposa Superior Court Tyler portal | Booking charges can differ from formal court charges. |
| State prison photo or location | CDCR CIRIS | CDCR is separate from county jail custody. |
| Federal or immigration custody | BOP locator or ICE ODLS | Federal agencies generally do not provide a public county-style mugshot roster. |
What is and isn't public: Mariposa publishes recent booking data, not a confirmed mugshot gallery. Ask for photos through official records channels and expect legal redactions where an exception applies.
Request Mariposa Booking Photo
A public-records request is the clearest official route when a Mariposa County booking photo is not online. The Sheriff's Records Unit routes report requests through the county's NextRequest portal. The portal explains that official records are held by county departments and the Clerk of the Board under retention schedules. No public fee schedule or processing time was visible on the captured landing page, so requesters should follow portal messages after submission.
Mariposa County NextRequest is the official public-records portal for requests that are not satisfied by the Daily Booking Report.
The portal is useful for stale booking records, booking sheets, or booking-photo requests because it creates a department-routed record request instead of relying on a 24-hour PDF.
- Provide the full name and known aliases of the person booked.
- Add date of birth or approximate age if known.
- List the arrest date, booking date, or approximate date range.
- Include the booking number from the PDF if available.
- Name the arrest agency if known, such as Mariposa County Sheriff's Office, CHP, or Yosemite National Park.
- Ask for the specific record, such as booking photograph, booking sheet, basic arrest information, release date, charges, bail, warrants, or holds.
Remove or Seal Mugshots
Mariposa County mugshot removal should be handled through lawful record correction, sealing, or agency channels, not through commercial pay-to-remove pages. California Civil Code section 1798.91.1 targets businesses that publish booking photos and then charge or accept payment to remove, correct, or modify them. The research instructions also prohibit using commercial mugshot sites as sources.
For arrests that did not result in conviction, Penal Code section 851.91 may allow a petition to seal arrest and related records if the statutory requirements are met. Sealing can reduce public access to eligible arrest records, but it is a court process. Filed charges, dismissals, and sealing issues belong with the court record, not the jail booking PDF alone. The court-record route is covered in Mariposa County court records after a jail arrest.
- Booking photo
- A photo taken because of arrest or criminal-justice involvement, often called a mugshot.
- CPRA
- California Public Records Act, the state law framework for state and local public records.
- Sealing
- A court process that can limit public access to eligible arrest or related records.
- Commercial removal
- A paid removal model restricted by California law when it involves booking photographs.
State and Federal Photos
Mariposa County includes more than one custody route. Mount Bullion Conservation Camp #39 is in Mariposa County, but it is a CDCR and CAL FIRE state conservation camp, not a county jail roster facility. Use CDCR CIRIS for sentenced state prisoners and camp participants. CIRIS can show name, CDCR number, age, current location, commitment counties, admission date, and parole-hearing information, but it is separate from county booking photos.
No BOP prison and no ICE detention center were located in Mariposa County. Yosemite National Park federal arrests may involve federal holding or transfer decisions. If a person is booked into the Mariposa County Adult Detention Facility, the Daily Booking Report and jail phone may help. If the person is in federal sentenced custody, use the BOP inmate locator. If immigration detention is suspected, use ICE ODLS. Federal agencies generally do not maintain a public mugshot roster comparable to county jail photo pages.
Mariposa Sheriff App Caveat
The official Mariposa County CA Sheriff iOS app is listed by Mariposa County Sheriff, whose office is led by Sheriff Jeremy Briese, and was updated to version 5.0.0 on July 8, 2024. The listing describes public-safety communication features such as reporting crimes, submitting tips, interactive features, and receiving public-safety news. It also warns that the app is not for emergencies.
No inmate roster, warrant search, mugshot lookup, or records-request feature was identified in the App Store listing text. For Mariposa County jail mugshots and booking records, rely on the Daily Booking Report, jail phone or lobby, VINE and VINELink, NextRequest, the court portal, CDCR CIRIS, BOP, and ICE ODLS as the facts require.
