Want to find out whether there’s a warrant for your arrest in Los Angeles County or anywhere in California? Need details on a court case involving a friend or relative? The California Superior Court is a good starting point.

The California Constitution gives most criminal defendants in Los Angeles County and across the state a right to bail before trial, except in certain capital and violent felony cases. In a 2021 ruling, the California Supreme Court held that judges must take a defendant’s ability to pay into account and may not hold someone solely because they can’t afford bail unless no less restrictive alternative will protect the public or ensure they appear in court. Rule 4.101 also bars judges from considering whether the defendant has requested a jury trial.

Calling the Gardena Jail at 310-217-9632 is the quickest way to find out an inmate’s bail. As long as you know the crime they’re accused of, you can also look up the Los Angeles County bail schedule yourself. This county accepts cash, surety bonds, and property bonds.

The Gardena Jail has a licensed capacity of 25 inmates, yet it is often forced to house many more, especially over the weekend. Most city and county jails in California see at least 35-40% of their inmates turn over monthly, another 25-30% every 90 days, another 15-20% every six months, and about 8-9% remain between six and twelve months. Stays of more than a year usually involve serious charges such as rape or murder, and because preparing those cases for trial takes time, offenders arrested in this county can remain in one of the Los Angeles County facilities far longer.

Approximately 462,420 offenders are arrested and detained by Los Angeles County law enforcement agencies every year.
