Huntington Beach Inmate Search
Could there be a warrant for your arrest in Los Angeles County or anywhere in California? Do you need information on a court case that involves you, a friend, or a relative? The California Superior Court is the place to begin.
In Los Angeles County and throughout California, most criminal defendants have a constitutional right to bail before trial, except in certain capital and violent felony cases. The California Supreme Court has held that judges must take a defendant’s ability to pay into account, and must consider less restrictive alternatives before keeping someone in jail because they can’t afford bail. Per Rule 4.101, judges may not consider whether the defendant wants a jury trial when setting bail.
Call the jail at 714-960-8811 for the easiest way to find an inmate’s bail at the Huntington Beach. If you know the offense the inmate was arrested for, you can also check the bail schedule for Los Angeles County. The county accepts cash, a surety bond, or a property bond.
The Huntington Beach is licensed to hold 25 inmates, though it frequently has to make room for many more, especially on weekends. Most city and county jails in California see a monthly turnover of at least 35-40% of inmates, another 25-30% every 90 days, and another 15-20% every six months. About 8-9% stay incarcerated between six and twelve months. Offenders who remain longer than a year are usually facing serious charges such as rape or murder. Since 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 per year.
