Devonshire Area LA Jail (Temporarily Closed) Inmate Search
Checking for a warrant in Los Angeles County or elsewhere in California? Trying to learn more about a court case involving you or someone close to you? Start with the California Superior Court.
In Los Angeles County and every court in California, criminal defendants generally have a constitutional right to pretrial release on bail, apart from certain capital and violent felony cases. The California Supreme Court has made clear that judges must weigh a defendant’s ability to pay when setting bail, and must consider less restrictive conditions before holding someone who can’t afford it. Rule 4.101 prohibits judges from factoring in whether the defendant has asked for a jury trial.
The quickest way to find out what an inmate’s bail is set at is to call the Devonshire Area LA Jail (Temporarily Closed) at 818-832-0969. If you know the offense, the Los Angeles County bail schedule also lists standard bail amounts. The county accepts cash, surety bonds, and property bonds.
The Devonshire Area LA Jail (Temporarily Closed)’s license allows for 25 inmates, but the jail 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 inmate population each month, another 25-30% every 90 days, and another 15-20% every six months. Approximately 8-9% stay incarcerated between six and twelve months. Those held longer than twelve months usually face serious charges like murder or rape, and since 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.
Every year, approximately 462,420 offenders are arrested and detained by Los Angeles County law enforcement agencies.
Once arrested, the person is taken to Devonshire Area LA Jail (Temporarily Closed) 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.
