El Monte Jail Inmate Search

Wondering whether there’s a warrant for your arrest in Los Angeles County or anywhere in California? Looking for details on a court case that involves you or someone close to you? Begin with the California Superior Court.

In Los Angeles County and all other California courts, most people charged with a crime have a constitutional right to pretrial release on bail, except in 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. Judges also cannot consider a defendant’s request for a jury trial when setting bail, under Rule 4.101.

Call the El Monte Jail at 626-580-2110 to find out an inmate’s bail. If you know what the inmate was arrested for, you can also look up the amount on the Los Angeles County bail schedule. This county accepts cash, a surety bond, or a property bond.

The El Monte Jail holds a license for 25 inmates, but the actual count is often higher, especially on weekends. Most city and county jails in California have a monthly turnover of at least 35-40% of their inmates, another 25-30% every 90 days, another 15-20% every six months, and roughly 8-9% who stay six to twelve months. Stays of more than twelve months usually involve serious charges such as murder or rape. Since preparing those cases for trial takes time, offenders arrested in this county are held at one of the Los Angeles County facilities much longer.

Every year, Los Angeles County law enforcement agencies arrest and detain approximately 462,420 offenders.
