Long Beach City Men’s Jail Inmate Search
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 Long Beach City Men’s Jail at 562-570-7260. 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.
Here’s what to know about the Long Beach City Men’s Jail’s population:
- Licensed capacity: 35 inmates, though the jail often has to make room for more, especially on weekends
- Typical monthly turnover at city and county jails: at least 35-40%
- Additional turnover every 90 days: 25-30%
- Additional turnover every six months: 15-20%
- Held six to twelve months: about 8-9%
Inmates held longer than twelve months 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 one of the Los Angeles County facilities much longer.
Every year, Los Angeles County law enforcement agencies arrest and detain approximately 462,420 offenders.

How does the booking process work at Long Beach City Men’s Jail?
Once someone is arrested, they are taken to Long Beach City Men’s Jail for booking. This process involves identifying the individual, determining charges, and deciding if they will be released on their own recognizance, released on bail, or held in custody until their court date.
It’s important for the arrestee to stay silent, as anything they say can be used against them. The best advice is to avoid answering any questions about the arrest until legal counsel is present.

- Answering questions regarding medical, mental health, and substance use history.
- DNA collection, if required.

- Confiscating personal belongings.
- Providing a free phone call.

What is the process to pay bail for someone detained in Los Angeles County?
After an individual is apprehended and taken to Long Beach City Men’s Jail in Long Beach for booking, their release options vary based on the situation:
1. They might be released without bail, on the condition they appear in court on a scheduled date.
2. They may be detained until their court appearance.
3. They may be eligible for release after posting a bail or bond. Call 562-570-7260 for the exact bail amount.
There are different ways to settle an individual's bail or bond.
- To post a cash bond, pay the full amount at the jail bonding window or the clerk's office by cash, cashier's check or money order; many facilities also accept cards at a lobby kiosk or through an online bond vendor for a fee, and you will need the inmate's full name and booking number (jail phone: 562-570-7260).
- A licensed bail bondsman in Los Angeles County can assist with payment.
- Real property such as land or a house is accepted as collateral by many courts, provided the owner proves clear title and equity worth at least the bond, frequently twice the bond, with a deed and a current tax or appraisal value; the court that set bail signs off on it.

How Do I put Money on an Inmate's Commissary Account in the Long Beach City Men’s Jail to Purchase Phone Cards?
There are FOUR options for putting money on an inmate's books:
Option 1 - Dropping Money at the Long Beach City Men’s Jail
Bring money to the jail in person.
Either the jail personnel will process the Inmate Account payment or you will use the NCIC self-serve kiosk in the lobbies that accepts cash, debit or credit cards.
Option 2 - Deposit Inmate Money Online

Mailing a deposit takes more time to process than the other methods but can be done if you live too far away to bring it in person and you don't have a debit/credit card for online deposits. Never send cash. Always send a Money Order from the US Post Office, a reputable bank or Western Union.
Make the Money Order out to the inmate's name and put their Inmate ID# in memo section of the Money Order. Mail it to the Long Beach City Men’s Jail address on this page, or to the address below if it is different than the facility address.
