Do you have an outstanding warrant in Los Angeles County or anywhere in California? Need information about a court case involving you, a friend, or a relative? Start by visiting the California Superior Court.
In Los Angeles County, as in every California court, most criminal defendants have a constitutional right to bail before trial, except in certain capital and violent felony cases. A California Supreme Court ruling requires judges to consider whether a defendant can afford bail and prohibits holding someone solely because they can’t pay unless no less restrictive option would protect public safety or ensure a court appearance. Under Rule 4.101, whether a defendant wants a jury trial cannot factor into the bail amount.
To find out how much bail an inmate needs, call the Huntington Beach at 714-960-8811. You can also look up the Los Angeles County bail schedule yourself if you know the charge. The county accepts cash, surety bonds, and property bonds.
While the Huntington Beach has a licensed capacity of 25, it is often forced to make room for many more inmates, especially on weekends. City and county jails in California generally turn over at least 35-40% of their inmates each month, another 25-30% every 90 days, and another 15-20% every six months, and about 8-9% stay incarcerated six to twelve months. Those held longer than twelve months are usually charged with serious crimes such as murder or rape. 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.
Every year, approximately 462,420 offenders are arrested and detained by Los Angeles County law enforcement agencies.
After an arrest, individuals are transported to Huntington Beach for the booking process. This procedure ensures the person’s identity, assesses charges, and determines if they will be released, eligible for bail, or detained until court.
Remaining silent during this process is vital. Anything said could be used as evidence, so it’s wise to wait for an attorney before speaking about the arrest.
