Crescenta Valley Jail Inmate Search
If you’re trying to find out about a warrant for your arrest in Los Angeles County or anywhere in California, or you need information about a court case involving someone you know, the California Superior Court is a good place to begin.
Courts in Los Angeles County and throughout California must honor most criminal defendants’ constitutional right to bail before trial, except in certain capital and violent felony cases. The California Supreme Court has held that a defendant’s ability to pay must be considered, and that jailing someone only because they can’t afford bail is unconstitutional unless no less restrictive alternative would protect public safety or ensure their appearance. Rule 4.101 adds that judges cannot consider a defendant’s request for a jury trial when setting bail.
The easiest way to learn an offender’s bail at the Crescenta Valley Jail is a phone call to 818-248-3464. If you know the charge, you can also check the bail schedule for Los Angeles County yourself. The county takes cash, surety bonds, and property bonds.
Even though the Crescenta Valley Jail is licensed for 25 inmates, it is often forced to accommodate many more, especially on weekends. In most city and county jails in California, at least 35-40% of the population turns over each month, another 25-30% every 90 days, and another 15-20% every six months. About 8-9% stay incarcerated between six and twelve months. Offenders who stay longer than a year are usually facing serious charges like rape or murder, and because those cases take longer to prepare for trial, anyone arrested in this county on such charges remains in one of the Los Angeles County facilities much longer.
Approximately 462,420 offenders are arrested and detained every year by Los Angeles County law enforcement agencies.
