Do you have a warrant for your arrest in Los Angeles County or anywhere in California? Do you need specific information about a court case in which you, a friend or relative might be involved in? A good place to start is with the California Superior Court.

In Los Angeles County and all courts in California, most criminal defendants have a constitutional right to pretrial release on bail, with exceptions for certain capital and violent felony cases. Recent California Supreme Court rulings make it clear that judges must consider a defendant's ability to pay when setting bail, and cannot keep someone in jail just because they can't afford it unless no less restrictive option would protect public safety or ensure they return to court. Judges, when setting bail, also cannot take into account whether the defendant wants a jury trial or not. Rule 4.101.

The easiest way to find out an offender's bail in Norwalk Jail is to call the jail at 562-863-8711, however as long as you know the crime your inmate has been arrested for (or been accused of), you can look up the bail schedule for Los Angeles County yourself. This county accepts cash, a surety bond or a property bond. 

The Norwalk Jail is licensed for 25 inmates at any given time, yet it is often forced to make room for many more offenders, especially on weekends. Most city and county jails in California turn over at least 35-40% of their population monthly, another 25-30% every 90 days, and another 15-20% every six months. Approximately 8-9% remain incarcerated between six and twelve months. Inmates who stay beyond 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 stay in custody at one of the Los Angeles County facilities much longer.

Every year Los Angeles County law enforcement agencies arrest and detain approximately 461,920 offenders.

How to handle bail after an arrest in Los Angeles County

If someone has been booked at Norwalk Jail in Norwalk, their next steps may include:

1. Release without posting bail, provided they agree to attend court.
2. Detainment until their trial.
3. Posting bail or bond to secure release. For the exact amount, call 562-863-8711.

There are a variety of payment methods available for bail.

• The usual way to post a cash bond is to pay the full amount at the jail bonding window or the clerk of court by cash, cashier's check or money order; many jails also offer card payment through a lobby kiosk or online bond vendor for a fee, and you should bring the inmate's full name and booking number (call 562-863-8711 for the jail).
• Assistance is available from licensed bail bond companies in Los Angeles County.
• Real property bonds are accepted in many courts: an owner may offer land or a home after showing clear title and equity of at least the bond, often double, with a deed and a recent tax or appraisal value, and the court that set bail approves it.
