Wiley W. Manuel Courthouse Court Holding Overview
The RAJ/BSCC table lists Wiley Manuel Courthouse in Oakland as CH, court holding, with 0 capacity and open status. RAJ defines court holding as confinement solely for court appearance, not to exceed 12 hours. The Facility Map identifies the operator as Alameda County Superior Court with Alameda County Sheriff's Office court security. This location is therefore part of courthouse security and transport, not a jail population search system.
The address is 661 Washington Street, Oakland, CA 94607. The listed phones are (510) 627-4700 for court records and (510) 268-2956 for the sheriff court location. The research also identifies Wiley W. Manuel Courthouse as a criminal court-date, warrant, and records fallback location, with court-date/warrant routing at (510) 627-4702 and records at (510) 627-4700.
Because the courthouse is in Oakland, it may be relevant to people arrested in the broader county who have Oakland-area hearings. Custody before or after the court appearance may still be at Santa Rita Jail in Dublin.
Oakland court searches often involve several agencies at once. ACSO may hold the person at Santa Rita Jail, the court may calendar the hearing at Wiley W. Manuel Courthouse, and the District Attorney may control the complaint or indictment filing. Court holding supports the appearance; it does not replace any of those records systems.
Wiley W. Manuel Court Holding Capacity and Population
The sourced capacity is 0. That is the correct figure to show because this is not a jail housing facility. No public roster, daily inmate count, mail service, commissary account, or visiting schedule was captured for the court holding area. A person present there should be understood as in temporary court movement, not housed there as an inmate population.
For population and housing facts, move back to the agency that has custody. Santa Rita Jail is the main Alameda County jail and publishes the county jail population material used elsewhere in the site. Wiley W. Manuel Court Holding is a secure courthouse function that helps move people through hearings, not a location where a daily jail count should be inferred.
How to Look Up a Person Connected to Wiley W. Manuel Court Holding
For current jail custody, search the ACSO Inmate Locator or call Santa Rita Jail at (925) 551-6500. For a case number, hearing date, warrant, or criminal record, use the Alameda Superior Court criminal Odyssey portal or the Wiley W. Manuel records line. Court holding itself does not provide a public inmate search.
- Use ACSO for Santa Rita Jail custody before or after court.
- Use Alameda Superior Court for case events, filings, warrants, and hearing calendars.
- Use Wiley W. Manuel phone routing for Oakland courthouse records or court-location questions.
- Use CDCR, BOP, or ICE locators only when custody has moved beyond county jail and court.
Wiley W. Manuel Courthouse Address and Contact
Use these contacts for courthouse and records routing, not jail services. Santa Rita Jail remains the custody line for Alameda County jail questions after transfer.
The court-date and warrant number captured in the research is useful when the question is about clearing a warrant, confirming a hearing, or finding the records counter for an Oakland case. It is not a substitute for the sheriff locator. Jail release, housing, visits, mail, and PFN-based searches stay with ACSO and Santa Rita Jail.

Access at Wiley W. Manuel Courthouse Court Holding
There is no public social visiting schedule for the court holding area in the research. Courtroom attendance, attorney contact, and court security are different from jail visitation. If a person is housed at Santa Rita Jail, use ACSO visiting rules only after confirming Santa Rita custody.
Public court access is not the same thing as jail visiting. A hearing may be open to the public under court rules, but that does not allow family members to visit inside a secure court holding area. Attorney access follows court and custody procedures rather than the social visit schedule used at a jail.
| Question | Correct Channel | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Where is the person housed? | ACSO locator or Santa Rita Jail. | Court holding is temporary. |
| What is the next hearing? | Alameda Superior Court portal or records line. | Hearings are court records. |
| Can family visit there? | No public court-holding visit schedule captured. | Use jail visitation only after confirmed housing. |
Mail, Phone, and Money at Wiley W. Manuel Court Holding
No public mail, phone-credit, video, commissary, or money-deposit process applies to this court holding location from the research. Those services belong to the confirmed housing agency, such as Santa Rita Jail, CDCR, BOP, or another detention system.
Do not use the Oakland courthouse address for inmate mail unless the purpose is a court filing and the court gives that instruction. Inmate correspondence follows the jail or prison where the person is housed. Alameda County's current Santa Rita mail rules are separate from courthouse holding.
Court Transport and Oakland Case Records
A person may be transported to Wiley W. Manuel Courthouse for arraignment or another criminal proceeding, then returned to Santa Rita or released under court order. Jail booking information, court charges, and courthouse holding status are different records. Use the sheriff locator for custody and the court portal for the case.
The court record may show a hearing in Oakland even when the jail record shows housing in Dublin. That is normal. Housing, transport, and court venue are separate facts. The right lookup depends on whether the user needs release status, a court date, a warrant instruction, or a copy of a criminal filing.
About Wiley W. Manuel Courthouse Court Holding
Wiley W. Manuel is included because the RAJ/BSCC adult facility table lists the court holding location. The important distinction is simple: a courthouse holding area is not a searchable jail. It has zero capacity in the source table and should be used only as court-appearance context.
Wiley W. Manuel is also distinct from the Rene C. Davidson Courthouse and other Alameda criminal court locations. The research lists multiple criminal records phone lines and courthouse contacts because cases can be routed by court location. The custody search still starts with the sheriff locator unless the person has moved to state, federal, or immigration custody.
Note: Verify custody through ACSO and case activity through Alameda Superior Court before traveling.
