Q: What is the booking process like at the West Hollywood Jail?

What is the booking process like at the West Hollywood Jail? Booking includes having their photo (mugshot) and fingerprints taken, as well as being asked a lot of questions about their personal history and state of mind. If it’s a serious felony, their DNA may also be taken. They will also be checked for warrants in Los Angeles County and other California and USA jurisdictions. If the offender was arrested for a DUI offense, and has refused a breathalyzer test, they may also be forced to have blood drawn by a doctor or nurse. It is also very likely that the offender will undergo a humiliating full body search while in the nude. This includes bending over, spreading their cheeks in the direction of an officer, and coughing. They will also be walked through a metal detector or x-ray machine, like those used at an airport.

Q: What kind of questions are asked during booking?

What kind of questions are asked during booking? The arresting jurisdiction will ask about gang affiliations, tattoos, medical conditions, prescribed medication they are taking, recreational drugs they are on or addicted to, allergies, if they are suicidal, and other relevant information that will help with determining their cell assignment and special needs. What happens with an offender’s personal property during booking? During the arrest and booking process an offender will also have all their personal property confiscated and held for either their release from jail, or with the offender’s approval, released to a friend or family member. Personal property includes the clothing they are wearing, money, wallets, purses, cell phones, jewelry, body rings, earrings, watches, and even glasses if they are deemed a security risk. If they are allowed to keep their shoes or sneakers, the laces are removed. If the offender remains in jail for any length of time, the West Hollywood Jail will allow a friend or family member to pick up the inmate's property if the offender gives written authorization for a named person to do so. To find out the days and times for picking up an inmate's property, and what you will need to bring to verify your identity, call the jail at 310-855-8850 during business hours.

Q: How long does the West Hollywood Jail booking process take?

How long does the West Hollywood Jail booking process take? Booking can take anywhere from an hour to 24 hours or more. It all depends on the number of people that are awaiting processing, the number of staff on duty at the time, and the behavior of the offender. If the offender is heavily intoxicated and/or violent, the Booking Officer may decide to stick the offender in a holding cell for several hours until they become more manageable. What happens after an offender is booked into the West Hollywood Jail? At this point the offender will be allowed to make a free phone call to a person of their choice to notify them of their arrest, and/or arrange a bond or bail for their release.

West Hollywood Jail Inmate Search

If you need to know about a warrant in Los Angeles County or anywhere in California, or about a court case involving you, a friend, or a relative, start your search with the California Superior Court.

Every court in California, including those in Los Angeles County, recognizes that most criminal defendants have a constitutional right to pretrial release on bail, with exceptions for certain capital and violent felony charges. The California Supreme Court has said judges must consider what a defendant can afford and cannot detain someone solely for being unable to pay unless no less restrictive option would protect public safety or ensure their appearance. Judges are also barred by Rule 4.101 from considering whether the defendant has requested a jury trial.

If you need to know an inmate’s bail, call the West Hollywood Jail at 310-855-8850. Or, if you know the charge, check the bail schedule for Los Angeles County. Bail can be posted in cash, with a surety bond, or with a property bond.

At any given time, the West Hollywood Jail is licensed to hold 25 inmates, but it is often forced to take in more, especially on weekends. At most city and county jails in California, at least 35-40% of inmates turn over every month, another 25-30% every 90 days, and another 15-20% every six months, and about 8-9% stay six to twelve months. Inmates held more than twelve months are typically facing serious charges such as rape or murder. Because those cases take longer to get ready for trial, offenders arrested in this county remain at one of the Los Angeles County facilities much longer.

Los Angeles County law enforcement agencies arrest and detain approximately 529,180 offenders every year.
