Think you might have a warrant in Colusa County or anywhere else in California? Need specifics on a court case involving you, a friend, or a relative? Start with the California Superior Court.

In California, including Colusa County, the constitution gives most criminal defendants the right to be released on bail before trial, except in certain capital and violent felony cases. According to the California Supreme Court, judges must consider what a defendant can afford and use less restrictive release conditions when those would protect the public and ensure a return to court. Under Rule 4.101, judges also cannot consider whether the defendant has requested a jury trial.

For the fastest answer on an inmate’s bail, call the Colusa County Jail at 530-458-0205. If you know the crime they were arrested for, you can look up the Colusa County bail schedule yourself. This county accepts cash, surety, and property bonds.

While licensed for 92 inmates, the Colusa County Jail is often forced to make room for many more, 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% stay incarcerated between six and twelve months. Inmates held longer than twelve months are usually facing serious charges like rape or murder, and because those cases take longer to prepare for trial, offenders arrested in this county remain in custody at one of the Colusa County facilities much longer.

Colusa County law enforcement agencies arrest and detain roughly 4,020 offenders each year.
