Fremont Detention Facility Inmate Search
Do you suspect there’s a warrant for your arrest in Alameda County or elsewhere in California? Or do you need details about a court case involving a friend or relative? A good place to start is the California Superior Court.
Most criminal defendants in Alameda County and throughout California have a constitutional right to be released on bail before trial, with exceptions for certain capital and violent felony charges. The California Supreme Court has held that a person cannot be kept in jail solely because they can’t afford bail unless no less restrictive condition would protect public safety or ensure their return to court, so judges must consider ability to pay. Under Rule 4.101, judges also cannot consider whether a defendant has asked for a jury trial.
Want to know how much an inmate’s bail is? Call the Fremont Detention Facility at 510-790-6800, or if you know the charge, check the bail schedule for Alameda County. The county accepts cash, a surety bond, or a property bond.
The Fremont Detention Facility is licensed for 60 inmates at any given time, but it often has to make room for many more, especially on weekends. At most city and county jails in California, the inmate population turns over like this:
- At least 35-40% turn over monthly
- Another 25-30% turn over every 90 days
- Another 15-20% turn over every six months
- About 8-9% stay between six and twelve months
Inmates held longer than twelve months are usually facing serious charges like rape or murder. Because those cases take time to prepare for trial, offenders arrested in this county remain in custody at one of the Alameda County facilities much longer.
Every year, Alameda County law enforcement agencies arrest and detain approximately 91,400 offenders.
The Fremont Detention Facility is a 54-bed temporary jail facility that holds inmates no longer than 72 hours. If they are to be incarcerated longer they are transferred to the Santa Rita Jail, the Alameda County Jail system. Visits are only allowed by lawyers, clergy and bail bondsmen as family and friends are not allowed to visit inmates at this facility. Phones are free for local calls and the inmate will have access to a phone within hours of their arrest. Personal mail is allowed, as are newspapers.
