In Alameda County and throughout California, most criminal defendants have a constitutional right to bail before trial, except in certain capital and violent felony cases. The California Supreme Court has held that judges must take a defendant’s ability to pay into account, and must consider less restrictive alternatives before keeping someone in jail because they can’t afford bail. Per Rule 4.101, judges may not consider whether the defendant wants a jury trial when setting bail.

The monthly turnover rate at most city and county jails in California is at least 35-40% of the inmate population, with an additional 25-30% every 90 days and an additional 15-20% every six months. Approximately 8-9% stay incarcerated between six and twelve months. Inmates held longer than twelve months are usually facing serious charges such as rape or murder.
