If you think you may have a warrant in Los Angeles 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 Los Angeles 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 Avalon Jail at 310 510-0174. If you know the charge, you can also look up the standard amount on the Los Angeles County bail schedule. Cash, surety bonds, and property bonds are all accepted.

The Avalon Jail’s license covers 25 inmates, but the jail often has to make room for many more, especially on weekends. Most city and county jails in California experience a monthly turnover of at least 35-40%, another 25-30% every 90 days, and another 15-20% every six months, with about 8-9% of inmates staying six to twelve months. Those who stay longer than a year usually face serious charges such as rape or murder. Because those cases take longer to prepare for trial, offenders arrested in this county remain in one of the Los Angeles County facilities much longer.

Every year, Los Angeles County law enforcement agencies arrest and detain approximately 462,420 offenders.

Steps to pay bail in Los Angeles County

After an arrest, individuals are brought to Avalon Jail in Avalon for processing. Following this, three possible outcomes exist:

1. The individual may be released without posting bail, with a promise to appear in court.
2. The individual could be held in jail until their court date.
3. Bail or bond can be posted for release; for more information, contact 310 510-0174.

Bail payment can be handled through various means.

• Pay a cash bond in full at the bonding window inside the jail or at the clerk of court, by cash, cashier's check or money order; a lobby kiosk or online bond vendor often takes debit and credit cards for an extra fee, and you should bring the inmate's full name and booking number (the jail can be reached at 310 510-0174).
• Licensed bail bond agents in Los Angeles County are available for assistance.
• Land or a home can often serve as bond collateral: the owner provides a deed and a recent tax or appraisal value showing clear title and equity of at least the bond amount, commonly double, and the court that set bail approves the pledge.
