The best place to start if you think you have a warrant in Kings County or anywhere in California, or need details about a court case involving you, a friend, or a relative, is the California Superior Court.

Criminal defendants in Kings County and across California generally have a constitutional right to pretrial release on bail, apart from certain capital and violent felony cases. The California Supreme Court has held that bail decisions must account for a defendant’s ability to pay, and that no one should stay in jail simply because they can’t afford bail if less restrictive conditions would protect the public and ensure their return to court. Rule 4.101 also bars judges from considering whether the defendant has asked for a jury trial.

An inmate’s bail can be confirmed by calling the Kings County Juvenile Center at 559-852-2970. If you know the charge, you can also look up the Kings County bail schedule. This county accepts cash, surety bonds, and property bonds.

At any given time, the Kings County Juvenile Center is licensed to hold 24 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 Kings County facilities much longer.

Kings County law enforcement agencies arrest and detain approximately 13,220 offenders every year.
