Herbert Hughes Jail Overview

Herbert Hughes Correctional Center, often shortened to HHCC in local jail context, is operated by the Imperial County Sheriff's Office. It sits at the same Sperber Road jail campus as the Regional Adult Detention Facility and Oren R. Fox Detention Facility. The sheriff describes Herbert Hughes as an adult detention facility in the local jail system. It holds sheriff-custody detainees and sentenced local inmates, not people serving state-prison terms under the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation.

The current official sheriff jail facts supplied for this build list HHCC at 314 beds. The county jail system's combined bed space is 876 when Herbert Hughes, Oren R. Fox, and the Regional Adult Detention Facility are counted together. That updated figure differs from older research notes, so the newer official jail-page facts control this page. The facility name matters because callers may hear "Imperial County Jail" as a general phrase even when the person is housed in a specific building.

Herbert Hughes Inmate Search

An inmate lookup for Herbert Hughes Correctional Center starts with the Imperial County jail main number because the project research found no official online "who is in jail" roster. Call (442) 265-2220 and ask whether the person is in sheriff custody and whether the person is housed at Herbert Hughes, RADF, Oren R. Fox, or another place. Ask whether intake is complete before assuming a new arrest will appear in court records or notification systems.

The sheriff's Corrections-Jail page gives facility and program context, but it does not publish a searchable custody list in the captured material. For court charges, use the Imperial Superior Court public portal after the District Attorney files a case. For custody notices, check VINELink. For copies of releasable booking or arrest records, use sheriff records or a California Public Records Act request.

1. Call the jail line and provide the full name plus another identifier if lawfully available.
2. Ask if the person is at Herbert Hughes or another Imperial County jail building.
3. Search the court portal after filing for charges, hearings, bail, and case status.
4. Use VINELink for release or transfer notification when the agency feed is active.
5. Use CDCR CIRIS only after state-prison transfer, and use ICE ODLS only for immigration detention.

Herbert Hughes Jail Source

The sheriff's official jail page is the best public source for Herbert Hughes facility context, correctional programs, and the relationship between the jail buildings.

The screenshot supports the facility background, while live custody status still needs confirmation through the jail information line.

Herbert Hughes Contact

Use the jail phone for custody status, housing location, visiting details, property questions, and mail confirmation. The address is the Sperber Road jail campus, but the campus contains multiple buildings. Calling before a visit or mailing anything reduces the risk of using the wrong building name, wrong SPN number, or wrong mail rule.

Herbert Hughes Visit Rules

The research materials did not locate a full official visiting schedule for Herbert Hughes. Use the visitation information phone number, (442) 265-2266, before traveling. Confirm that the person is eligible for visits, that Herbert Hughes is the current housing building, and that the visit type is available. Visitors should expect government photo identification, check-in screening, dress rules, limits on property, and special rules for minors.

Note: A person may be moved between Imperial County jail buildings after classification or for medical, security, or capacity reasons.

Herbert Hughes Mail

Personal mail for people in Imperial County jail custody should use the current mail-processing format supplied for this build: Imperial County Jail, CA; incarcerated person's name and SPN number; P.O. Box 247; Phoenix, MD 21131. Legal mail goes to 1328 Sperber Road, El Centro, CA 92243. Money deposits are made through GettingOut.com. Call the jail before sending books, photos, money orders, packages, or anything tied to medical needs.

The sheriff's forms page includes jail medication information forms. That is the better route for medication or health information than trying to send medicine through the mail. Staff can explain whether the person is still at Herbert Hughes, has moved to RADF for a medical reason, or has been transferred to another facility.

Herbert Hughes Jail Programs

The Imperial County jail page lists several education and support programs, including GED, ESL, Volunteers of America, 24/7 Dad, Second Chance, Anger Management, Inside Out, 24/7 Mom, AA/NA, and family literacy events. The page also lists worker assignments such as grounds clean-up, roadside clean-up, culinary, commissary, housekeeping, laundry services, and car wash. These programs are part of the local jail system and should not be confused with CDCR prison programming.

Eligibility is not automatic. The sheriff materials describe screening by charges, medical clearance, classification review, disciplinary status, and sentence status. Outside work crew eligibility is limited to sentenced people who are free from violent or sexual crimes and are not under disciplinary sanctions. A person housed at Herbert Hughes may have different access from someone still in intake at RADF or held under a court order that limits movement.

Herbert Hughes Court Records

Herbert Hughes custody information and court records answer different questions. Jail staff can confirm current custody and housing when the information is releasable. The court portal shows the criminal case after filing, including case number, filing date, charges, hearings, bail minutes, warrants, and disposition. A jail booking allegation may change once the Imperial County District Attorney files, amends, reduces, or dismisses charges.

For a broader explanation of the no-roster fallback chain, the county custody page on Imperial County jail inmate records covers phone, records, court, VINELink, CDCR, ICE, and BOP channels in one place. Use the Herbert Hughes page when the question is specific to this building.
