Need to check for a warrant in Los Angeles County or anywhere else in California? Want specific information about a court case involving you, a friend, or a relative? Start with the California Superior Court.

In Los Angeles County and statewide, California law gives most criminal defendants a constitutional right to bail before trial, except in certain capital and violent felony cases. The California Supreme Court has held that judges must weigh a defendant’s ability to pay when setting bail and must consider less restrictive alternatives before keeping someone in custody because they can’t afford it. Rule 4.101 prohibits judges from basing bail on whether the defendant wants a jury trial.

To check an inmate’s bail at the Claremont Jail, call 909-399-5411. If you know what they were arrested for, you can also look up the Los Angeles County bail schedule. This county accepts payment in cash, by surety bond, or by property bond.

While licensed for 25 inmates, the Claremont Jail often exceeds that number, especially on weekends. Most city and county jails in California turn over at least 35-40% of their inmates each month, another 25-30% every 90 days, and another 15-20% every six months. Approximately 8-9% remain incarcerated for six to twelve months. Those held longer than a year are typically facing serious charges such as rape or murder, which take longer to prepare for trial, so offenders arrested in this county on those charges stay in one of the Los Angeles County facilities much longer.

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