Do you suspect there’s a warrant for your arrest in Los Angeles County or elsewhere in California? Or do you need details about a court case involving a friend or relative? A good place to start is the California Superior Court.

Most criminal defendants in Los Angeles County and throughout California have a constitutional right to be released on bail before trial, with exceptions for certain capital and violent felony charges. The California Supreme Court has held that a person cannot be kept in jail solely because they can’t afford bail unless no less restrictive condition would protect public safety or ensure their return to court, so judges must consider ability to pay. Under Rule 4.101, judges also cannot consider whether a defendant has asked for a jury trial.

Want to know how much an inmate’s bail is? Call the Hawthorne Jail at 310-349-2700, or if you know the charge, check the bail schedule for Los Angeles County. The county accepts cash, a surety bond, or a property bond.

Although the Hawthorne Jail has a license for 25 inmates, it frequently has to accommodate many more, especially on weekends. Most city and county jails in California have a monthly turnover of at least 35-40%, another 25-30% every 90 days, another 15-20% every six months, and about 8-9% of inmates who stay between six and twelve months. Inmates held longer than a year usually face serious charges like rape or murder. Those cases take time to prepare for trial, so offenders arrested in this county remain in custody at one of the Los Angeles County facilities much longer.

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

How to pay bail in Los Angeles County for an arrestee

Once an individual is booked at Hawthorne Jail in Hawthorne, options for their release include:

1. Release without paying bail, with a commitment to appear in court.
2. Continued detention until their court date.
3. Release upon paying a bail or bond. Call 310-349-2700 for the bail amount.

Bail can be paid through various methods.

• Bring the full cash bond to the jail's bonding window or the clerk of court and pay by cash, cashier's check or money order; many jails also take debit or credit cards for a fee through a lobby kiosk or an online bond vendor, and staff will need the inmate's full name and booking number (jail: 310-349-2700).
• A licensed bail bondsman in Los Angeles County can assist with the process.
