Hermosa Beach Jail Inmate Search

Do you need to know whether you have a warrant in Los Angeles County or anywhere else in California? Or are you looking for information on a court case involving a friend or relative? Begin with the California Superior Court.

In California, including Los Angeles County, criminal defendants generally have a constitutional right to bail before trial, with limited exceptions for capital cases and certain violent felonies. The California Supreme Court requires judges to consider whether a defendant can afford the bail they set, and to use less restrictive release conditions where those would ensure public safety and the defendant’s return to court. Under Rule 4.101, whether the defendant has asked for a jury trial cannot affect the bail amount.

You can find out an inmate’s bail by calling the Hermosa Beach Jail at 310-318-0360. If you already know the charge, the Los Angeles County bail schedule will show the standard amount. Bail here can be paid in cash, through a surety bond, or with a property bond.

The Hermosa Beach Jail is licensed for 25 inmates, but it is often forced to make room for many more, especially on weekends. At most city and county jails in California, at least 35-40% of the population turns over within a month, another 25-30% within 90 days, and another 15-20% within six months. About 8-9% stay incarcerated six to twelve months. Inmates who stay longer than that are usually facing serious charges like rape or murder. Because 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.

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