About Robert Presley Detention Center

Also known as: RPDC

Robert Presley Detention Center stands on Orange Street in downtown Riverside, a short walk from the county’s main courthouses. It opened in 1989, replacing the old Riverside County Jail, and is run by the Riverside County Sheriff’s Office.

Its command also covers the Detention Care Unit at Riverside University Health System, where people in custody receive hospital care. Many people arrested in the city of Riverside and nearby communities are housed here while their cases are in court.
