If you think you may have a warrant in Imperial County or elsewhere in California, or you need information about a court case involving you, a friend, or a family member, start with the California Superior Court.

Most people charged with a crime in Imperial County, and anywhere in California, have a constitutional right to be released on bail before trial, though there are exceptions for certain capital and violent felony cases. According to the California Supreme Court, judges must consider a defendant’s ability to pay, and can hold someone who can’t afford bail only if no less restrictive condition would protect public safety or ensure their return to court. Under Rule 4.101, judges also cannot consider whether a defendant has asked for a jury trial.

Find out an inmate’s bail by calling the Imperial County Juvenile Hall at 442-265-2425. If you know the charge, you can also look up the standard amount on the Imperial County bail schedule. Cash, surety bonds, and property bonds are all accepted.

The Imperial County Juvenile Hall may be licensed for 24 inmates, but it is often forced to hold many more, especially on weekends. Most city and county jails in California turn over at least 35-40% of their inmates every month, another 25-30% every 90 days, and another 15-20% every six months, and roughly 8-9% stay six to twelve months. When someone is held longer than twelve months, they are usually facing a serious charge such as rape or murder. Those cases take longer to prepare for trial, so offenders arrested in this county remain in one of the Imperial County facilities much longer.

Every year, Imperial County law enforcement agencies arrest and detain approximately 18,000 offenders.

Recent Bookings & Arrests

What is the booking process for the Imperial County Juvenile Hall?

After being arrested, the offender is brought to the Imperial County Juvenile Hall for booking, which is the detailed process of identifying, classifying, deciding on charges, and whether the person will either be released on their own recognizance, allowed to be released on bail, or moved into the jail until their court date.

The first thing every newly arrested person must do is close their mouth. Everything an offender says may be used against them, so the best thing to do is remain silent when questioned about the arrest and what led to it.

These are the steps of booking someone into the Imperial County Juvenile Hall:

  • Personal identification.
  • Mugshot(s).
  • Questions about medical history, mental health, drug and alcohol use, and gang affiliations.
  • Possible DNA.
  • Full body search.
  • Property forfeiture.
  • Free phone call.

If you have any questions about when you can pay an offender's bond and what the cost will be, call the facility at 442-265-2425.
