Century Regional Detention Facility

The Century Regional Detention Facility posts its current inmates on the Official Jail Inmate Roster, where you can check an inmate’s charges, bond amount, when they can receive visits, and often their mugshot. You can also call 213-473-6100 for help. The state also offers a court finder for Los Angeles County and every other county in California.

Century Regional Detention Facility Inmate Search

Whether you’re checking for a warrant in Los Angeles County or anywhere in California, or looking for details on a court case involving you, a friend, or a relative, the California Superior Court is a good first stop.

In California, including Los Angeles County, most criminal defendants have a constitutional right to bail before trial, except in certain capital and violent felony cases. Under a California Supreme Court ruling, judges setting bail must consider the defendant’s ability to pay and look at less restrictive conditions before detaining someone who can’t afford bail. Rule 4.101 prohibits judges from considering whether a defendant has requested a jury trial.

To learn an inmate’s bail amount, call the Century Regional Detention Facility at 213-473-6100. If you know what the inmate has been charged with, you can also check the bail schedule for Los Angeles County on your own. Bail can be posted in cash, with a surety bond, or with a property bond.

Although the Century Regional Detention Facility is licensed for 2100 inmates, it frequently holds more than that, particularly on weekends. City and county jails in California typically turn over at least 35-40% of their population every month, another 25-30% every 90 days, and another 15-20% every six months, with roughly 8-9% staying six to twelve months. Inmates who stay longer than a year are usually charged with serious crimes like murder or rape. Those cases take a long time to prepare for trial, so offenders arrested in this county for them stay in one of the Los Angeles County facilities much longer.

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

How do you post bail in Los Angeles County?

If someone is taken to Century Regional Detention Facility in Lynwood for booking, the next steps depend on their case:

1. The individual may be released without bail, under a promise to appear at a court hearing.
2. They could be held in custody until their trial.
3. They may post a bail or bond for release. To find out the exact bail amount, call 213-473-6100.

Bail payments can be handled in various ways.

• Cash bonds are paid in full, normally at the jail's bonding window or with the clerk of court, by cash, cashier's check or money order, and card payments are often possible through a kiosk in the lobby or an online vendor for a convenience fee; have the inmate's full name and booking number ready, and reach the jail at 213-473-6100.
• Licensed bail bond agents in Los Angeles County can facilitate payment.
• Property bonds are available in many courts: an owner may pledge land or a home after proving clear title and equity of at least the bond amount (often double) with the deed and a recent tax or appraisal figure, and the court that set bail decides whether to accept it.

How do I Mail an Inmate in the Century Regional Detention Facility, and what can I send them?

The Century Regional Detention Facility has a very strict set of rules and policies regarding mail that is delivered to inmates.

The purpose of these rules are not to make life difficult for you or to ‘punish’ incarcerated inmates further, but are here for the safety and security of all the inmates and staff who reside and work in what can be a very dangerous place.

 For the time being, Century Regional Detention Facility is still allowing inmates to receive physical mail, however many jails and prisons around the country are starting to go full-on digital; only allowing electronic messages and digital images to be accessible by inmates through kiosks or jail provided handheld devices.

All LA County Jail Inmates are made aware of the following Rules and Policies and these are also posted in the lobbies of each of the facilities to educate friends and loved ones.  

Many items that are needed by inmates that you may want to mail but can’t, can be purchased directly from the LA County Jail’s Commissary. Even indigent inmates, those without any funds, are provided basic hygiene items and other items necessary for their physical and mental health.

Century Regional Detention Facility Inmates are allowed mail in envelopes and on postcards.

They are also allowed to receive books, magazine and newspapers directly from trusted publishers and businesses.

How Can I Communicate with an Inmate in the Century Regional Detention Facility using an Online Messaging Service?

No.

As of January 2023, LA County Jails do not yet contract with a service that allows email or messaging services. 

A growing number of jails now offer email services to inmates and their families.

• This can save you time by letting you view your email from your smart phone, computer, or tablet, whenever you wish. 
• You don't have to deal with envelopes, stamps or the post office.
• Inmates like it because the emails eliminate delays so they can get your correspondence quickly and send responses immediately.
• Jail staffs like it as it eliminates concerns about contraband entering the facility in envelopes and on paper. It also allows the jail to have an electronic record that can be called upon at any time.

Anything you or your inmate writes in an email service is put through a filtering program that looks for certain words related to criminal and/or gang activities. There have been multiple cases in which emails between inmates and their friends or loved ones have been used as evidence in criminal court cases to convict them or to file new charges.

How do Inmates at the Century Regional Detention Facility Communicate using Email?

As of January 2023, LA County Jails do not yet contract with a service that allows email or messaging services.  For the time being the only communication with inmates by US Mail, By Phone or by Visiting them at the facility.
