Do you have an outstanding warrant in Alameda County or anywhere in California? Need information about a court case involving you, a friend, or a relative? Start by visiting the California Superior Court.

In Alameda County, as in every California court, most criminal defendants have a constitutional right to bail before trial, except in certain capital and violent felony cases. A California Supreme Court ruling requires judges to consider whether a defendant can afford bail and prohibits holding someone solely because they can’t pay unless no less restrictive option would protect public safety or ensure a court appearance. Under Rule 4.101, whether a defendant wants a jury trial cannot factor into the bail amount.

To find out how much bail an inmate needs, call the Alameda County Juvenile Hall at 510-667-7450. You can also look up the Alameda County bail schedule yourself if you know the charge. The county accepts cash, surety bonds, and property bonds.

The Alameda County Juvenile Hall is licensed for 360 inmates, but it is often forced to make room for many more, especially on weekends. Most city and county jails in California turn over their population on this schedule:

• At least 35-40% monthly
• Another 25-30% every 90 days
• Another 15-20% every six months
• About 8-9% remain six to twelve months

Offenders held longer than twelve months are usually facing serious charges like rape or murder. Because those cases take longer to prepare for trial, offenders arrested in this county remain in custody at one of the Alameda County facilities much longer.

Every year, approximately 91,400 offenders are arrested and detained by Alameda County law enforcement agencies.
