For information about warrants in Los Angeles County or anywhere else in California, or about a court case involving you, a friend, or a relative, a good place to start is the California Superior Court.

Most criminal defendants in California, including in Los Angeles County, have a constitutional right to bail before trial, with exceptions for certain capital and violent felony cases. The California Supreme Court has ruled that judges must consider ability to pay and may not keep someone in jail just because they can’t afford bail unless no less restrictive condition would protect public safety or ensure their return to court. Under Rule 4.101, judges also may not consider whether the defendant wants a jury trial.

The jail can tell you an inmate’s bail if you call the Culver City Jail at 310-253-6205. You can also look up the Los Angeles County bail schedule on your own, as long as you know the crime the inmate was arrested for. This county accepts cash, surety bonds, and property bonds.

The Culver City Jail has a licensed capacity of 25 inmates, but it often has to make room for many more, especially on weekends. Most city and county jails in California turn over at least 35-40% of their population monthly, another 25-30% every 90 days, another 15-20% every six months, and about 8-9% stay incarcerated six to twelve months. Inmates held longer than twelve months are usually charged with serious crimes such as rape or murder. Because those cases take longer to prepare for trial, offenders arrested in this county remain in custody at one of the Los Angeles County facilities much longer.
