Visitation
Visits follow the rules of the facility where the person is actually housed, usually an El Dorado County jail facility. Visitors normally need valid photo ID and may have to schedule ahead. Confirm the location, schedule, and rules with the Alpine County Sheriff's Office or the housing facility before you visit.
Bail and bond
Bail for Alpine County cases is set by the Alpine County Superior Court or the county bail schedule. It can usually be posted through the facility holding the person or through a licensed bail bond agent. Call the Alpine County Sheriff's Office to confirm the amount and where to pay.
Mail and money
Mail and money go through the facility where the person is housed, not Markleeville. Include the person's full name and booking number on all mail, and expect inspection and content limits.
