You can search the Official Jail Inmate Roster to locate an inmate in the Covina Jail and see their charges, bond amount, visitation eligibility, and mugshot. For anything the roster doesn’t answer, call the jail at 626-858-4413. You can also check the list of criminal courts serving Los Angeles County and every other California county.
The California Superior Court is a good starting point if you need to know whether you have a warrant in Los Angeles County or anywhere in California, or if you need information about a court case involving you, a friend, or a relative.
Most criminal defendants in Los Angeles County, like those across California, have a constitutional right to pretrial release on bail, with exceptions for certain capital and violent felony cases. The California Supreme Court requires judges to consider a defendant’s ability to pay and prohibits detaining someone solely because they can’t afford bail unless no less restrictive option would protect public safety or ensure their appearance. Under Rule 4.101, judges also cannot consider whether the defendant has asked for a jury trial.
The best way to find out an inmate’s bail at the Covina Jail is to call 626-858-4413. If you know the crime the inmate was arrested for, you can also look it up on the Los Angeles County bail schedule. The county accepts bail in the form of cash, a surety bond, or a property bond.
The Covina Jail’s licensed capacity is 25 inmates, but it often has to take in many more offenders, especially on weekends. Most city and county jails in California turn over at least 35-40% of their population each month, another 25-30% every 90 days, and another 15-20% every six months, while about 8-9% stay incarcerated between six and twelve months. Inmates held longer than twelve months are usually facing serious charges such as rape or murder. Those cases take longer to prepare for trial, so offenders arrested in this county remain at one of the Los Angeles County facilities much longer.
Each year, Los Angeles County law enforcement agencies arrest and detain approximately 462,420 offenders.
Once arrested, the person is taken to Covina Jail for booking, a process that confirms identity, assesses charges, and determines if they will be released on their own recognizance, posted for bail, or held until court.
Staying silent is key during this process, as anything spoken can be used as evidence in court. It’s best to wait for legal counsel before responding to questions.
Steps involved in booking at Covina Jail include:
