Where do I pick up someone from the Auburn Jail?

Once an inmate has been released from the Auburn Jail, they will walk right out the front entrance of the jail. There is ample parking to allow for you to wait in your car. Transportation can also be arranged with a taxi or ride-share service but we recommend waiting until after they have been released.

Alternatively, there is a bus stop a short walk away at 1st Street and C Avenue. The fastest route would be to head north on Richardson Drive and then turn right on B Avenue. Continue walking until you reach 1st Street and then turn right once more. The bus stop will be on the right before reaching C Avenue.
