Lassen County Correctional Facility Inmate Search

Do you have an outstanding warrant in Lassen County or anywhere in California? Need information about a court case involving you, a friend, or a relative? Start by visiting the California Superior Court.

In Lassen County, as in every California court, most criminal defendants have a constitutional right to bail before trial, except in certain capital and violent felony cases. A California Supreme Court ruling requires judges to consider whether a defendant can afford bail and prohibits holding someone solely because they can’t pay unless no less restrictive option would protect public safety or ensure a court appearance. Under Rule 4.101, whether a defendant wants a jury trial cannot factor into the bail amount.

To find out how much bail an inmate needs, call the Lassen County Correctional Facility at 530-251-5245. You can also look up the Lassen County bail schedule yourself if you know the charge. The county accepts cash, surety bonds, and property bonds.

The Lassen County Correctional Facility is licensed for 156 inmates, but it is often forced to make room for many more, especially on weekends. Most city and county jails in California turn over their population on this schedule:

• At least 35-40% monthly
• Another 25-30% every 90 days
• Another 15-20% every six months
• About 8-9% remain six to twelve months

Offenders held longer than twelve months are usually facing serious charges like rape or murder. Because those cases take longer to prepare for trial, offenders arrested in this county remain in custody at one of the Lassen County facilities much longer.

Every year, approximately 10,320 offenders are arrested and detained by Lassen County law enforcement agencies.

How to post bail for someone arrested in Lassen County

When an individual is arrested and booked at Lassen County Correctional Facility in Susanville, the outcomes include:

1. Release without bail, under the condition they appear for their court date.
2. Remain in custody until the court appearance.
3. Post a bail or bond for release. Contact 530-251-5245 for specific bail amounts.

Bail payments can be made in different ways.

• Cash bonds must be paid in full, either at the jail's bonding window or with the clerk of court, and are accepted as cash, cashier's check or money order; many jails also process cards through a lobby kiosk or online vendor for a fee, so bring the inmate's full name and booking number, and phone the jail at 530-251-5245 if needed.
• You can work with a licensed bail bondsman in Lassen County.
• Many courts allow a property bond, letting an owner put up land or a home after proving clear title and equity of at least the bond (often double) through a deed and a recent tax or appraisal value, with approval from the court that set bail.
