Under the California Constitution, most criminal defendants in Los Angeles County have a right to be released on bail before trial, except in certain capital and violent felony cases. The California Supreme Court has held that bail must be set with the defendant’s financial circumstances in mind, and that less restrictive alternatives should be used when they would protect the public and ensure the defendant returns to court. Rule 4.101 bars judges from considering whether a jury trial has been requested.

The licensed capacity of the Burbank Jail is 25 inmates, though the jail frequently has to make room for more, especially on weekends. Most city and county jails in California see at least 35-40% of inmates turn over monthly, 25-30% more every 90 days, and 15-20% more every six months, while around 8-9% remain six to twelve months. Stays longer than twelve months are usually tied to serious charges such as rape or murder. Those cases take time to prepare for trial, which means offenders arrested in this county stay in custody at one of the Los Angeles County facilities much longer.
Los Angeles County law enforcement agencies arrest and detain approximately 462,420 offenders annually.

What is the process to pay bail for someone detained in Los Angeles County?
After an individual is apprehended and taken to Burbank Jail in Burbank for booking, their release options vary based on the situation:
1. They might be released without bail, on the condition they appear in court on a scheduled date.
2. They may be detained until their court appearance.
3. They may be eligible for release after posting a bail or bond. Call 818-238-3010 for the exact bail amount.
There are different ways to settle an individual's bail or bond.
- To post a cash bond, pay the full amount at the jail bonding window or the clerk's office by cash, cashier's check or money order; many facilities also accept cards at a lobby kiosk or through an online bond vendor for a fee, and you will need the inmate's full name and booking number (jail phone: 818-238-3010).
- A licensed bail bondsman in Los Angeles County can assist with payment.
- Real property such as land or a house is accepted as collateral by many courts, provided the owner proves clear title and equity worth at least the bond, frequently twice the bond, with a deed and a current tax or appraisal value; the court that set bail signs off on it.
