Foothill Area LA Jail Inmate Search

If you need to know about a warrant in Los Angeles County or anywhere in California, or about a court case involving you, a friend, or a relative, start your search with the California Superior Court.

Every court in California, including those in Los Angeles County, recognizes that most criminal defendants have a constitutional right to pretrial release on bail, with exceptions for certain capital and violent felony charges. The California Supreme Court has said judges must consider what a defendant can afford and cannot detain someone solely for being unable to pay unless no less restrictive option would protect public safety or ensure their appearance. Judges are also barred by Rule 4.101 from considering whether the defendant has requested a jury trial.

If you need to know an inmate’s bail, call the Foothill Area LA Jail at 818-756-8865.. Or, if you know the charge, check the bail schedule for Los Angeles County. Bail can be posted in cash, with a surety bond, or with a property bond.

The Foothill Area LA Jail is licensed for 25 inmates at a time, but it often has to make room for many more offenders, especially on weekends. At most city and county jails in California, at least 35-40% of the inmate population turns over monthly. Another 25-30% turns over every 90 days and another 15-20% every six months, and approximately 8-9% stay six to twelve months. Inmates who remain longer than twelve months are usually facing serious charges such as rape or murder. Because those cases take longer to prepare for trial, offenders arrested in this county are held 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.
