Is there a warrant out for your arrest in Alameda County or somewhere else in California? Do you need information about a court case involving you or a loved one? The California Superior Court is a good place to start.

Under the California Constitution, most criminal defendants in Alameda County are entitled to bail before trial, apart from certain capital and violent felony cases. The California Supreme Court has ruled that bail must be set with the defendant’s ability to pay in mind, and that judges should turn to less restrictive conditions when those would protect the public and ensure a return to court. Per Rule 4.101, a defendant’s choice about a jury trial can’t be considered in setting bail.

To get an inmate’s bail, call the Alameda County Juvenile Hall at 510-667-7450. As long as you know the charge they were arrested on, you can look up the Alameda County bail schedule yourself. The county accepts cash, a surety bond, or a property bond.

The Alameda County Juvenile Hall is licensed for 360 inmates, though it is often forced to accept many more, especially on weekends. Most city and county jails in California turn over at least 35-40% of inmates monthly, 25-30% more every 90 days, and 15-20% more every six months, with roughly 8-9% remaining six to twelve months. Stays of more than a year are usually tied to serious charges like rape or murder. Those cases take longer to prepare for trial, so offenders arrested in this county remain at one of the Alameda County facilities much longer.

Every year, law enforcement agencies in Alameda County arrest and detain approximately 91,400 offenders.
