Azusa Jail Inmate Search

To look into a possible warrant in Los Angeles County or anywhere in California, or to get information about a court case involving you, a friend, or a relative, start with the California Superior Court.

Most criminal defendants in Los Angeles County and across California are constitutionally entitled to bail before trial, with exceptions for certain capital and violent felony cases. The California Supreme Court has held that judges must consider a defendant’s ability to pay, and can detain someone who can’t afford bail only if no less restrictive alternative would protect public safety or ensure their appearance in court. Judges also cannot take into account whether the defendant wants a jury trial (Rule 4.101).

Calling the jail at 626-812-3200 is the easiest way to learn an inmate’s bail at the Azusa Jail. If you know the crime the inmate is accused of, you can also check the Los Angeles County bail schedule yourself. The county accepts cash, a surety bond, or a property bond.

The Azusa Jail is licensed for 25 inmates at any one time, but it often ends up making room for many more, particularly on weekends. At most city and county jails in California, at least 35-40% of the inmate population turns over monthly, another 25-30% every 90 days, and another 15-20% every six months, while roughly 8-9% remain incarcerated between six and twelve months. Stays beyond a year usually involve serious charges like rape or murder. Preparing those cases for trial takes time, so offenders arrested in this county remain in custody at one of the Los Angeles County facilities much longer.

Approximately 462,420 offenders are arrested and detained by Los Angeles County law enforcement agencies each year.
