The Lassen County Superior Court judges publish a countywide list each year, the 2026 edition effective January 1. You can read it on the court's website: the Lassen County bail schedule page. Under Penal Code 1269b, the list sets a figure for each offense, and a judge's own order at a hearing overrides it. The fastest way to get the exact number is the jail line, 530-251-5245. Get the figure for each count, since two charges can carry two separate amounts.

According to the Lassen court, an arraignment judge may set, raise or cut bail, or free him on his own promise. A lawyer's request is stronger than a family member's. Penal Code 1275 makes safety the top concern in Susanville, then the charge, his history, and whether he'll come back. Humphrey, decided in 2021, also requires a look at what he can pay. Show the Lassen judge job records, an address, and family connections.

The court says a person in custody has a right to arraignment within 48 hours of arrest, with weekends and court holidays not counted. That matches Penal Code 825.

California's article I, section 12 permits no-bail orders on capital charges, specific violent or sex felonies, and felonies where great bodily harm was threatened.
