A Ventura County inmate record will show an inmate’s arrest history, criminal charges, and sentence. This information is maintained by the prison or jail where the inmate is incarcerated.
Inmate records are looked at as public records in pretty much all jurisdictions, meaning just about any person can request them.

California State Prison VS Ventura County Jail
While most people are familiar with prisons, few know much about county jails. Inmates found guilty of severe offenses are usually sent to a California prison, while Ventura County jails house those awaiting trial or serving a shorter term.
A prison is typically supervised by the state, while the local sheriff, for the most part, will supervise the county jail.
