Most criminal defendants in California, including in Kern County, have a constitutional right to bail before trial, with exceptions for certain capital and violent felony cases. The California Supreme Court has ruled that judges must consider ability to pay and may not keep someone in jail just because they can’t afford bail unless no less restrictive condition would protect public safety or ensure their return to court. Under Rule 4.101, judges also may not consider whether the defendant wants a jury trial.
The jail can tell you an inmate’s bail if you call the Kern County Juvenile Camp Erwin Owen at 760-376-2844. You can also look up the Kern County bail schedule on your own, as long as you know the crime the inmate was arrested for. This county accepts cash, surety bonds, and property bonds.
The Kern County Juvenile Camp Erwin Owen is licensed for 125 inmates, but on weekends especially, the jail often has to make room for many more offenders. 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, with about 8-9% staying between six and twelve months. Those who remain longer than a year are generally facing serious charges like rape or murder. Because it takes time to prepare those cases for trial, offenders arrested in this county must stay in custody at one of the Kern County facilities much longer.
Each year, Kern County law enforcement agencies arrest and detain approximately 83,780 offenders.
After being arrested, the offender is brought to the Kern County Juvenile Camp Erwin Owen 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 Kern County Juvenile Camp Erwin Owen:
Booking can take as little as an hour, or up to 48 hours on a busy weekend or holiday evening, or if the offender is violent, wasted or generally uncooperative. If you have any questions about when you can pay an offender's bond and what the cost will be, call the facility at 760-376-2844.
