About Indio Jail

Also known as: John J. Benoit Detention Center (JBDC)

When people in the Coachella Valley say “Indio Jail,” they mean the John J. Benoit Detention Center on Highway 111 in Indio, near the Larson Justice Center. The Sheriff’s Office still uses the Indio Jail name for its mailing address and property services.

The Benoit center replaced the older Indio Jail on the same site and serves arrests from Palm Springs, Cathedral City, Coachella, Indio and the rest of the valley. It is run by the Riverside County Sheriff’s Office.
