The California Superior Court is a good starting point if you need to know whether you have a warrant in Los Angeles County or anywhere in California, or if you need information about a court case involving you, a friend, or a relative.

Most criminal defendants in Los Angeles County, like those across California, have a constitutional right to pretrial release on bail, with exceptions for certain capital and violent felony cases. The California Supreme Court requires judges to consider a defendant’s ability to pay and prohibits detaining someone solely because they can’t afford bail unless no less restrictive option would protect public safety or ensure their appearance. Under Rule 4.101, judges also cannot consider whether the defendant has asked for a jury trial.

The best way to find out an inmate’s bail at the Monrovia Jail is to call 626-256-8000. If you know the crime the inmate was arrested for, you can also look it up on the Los Angeles County bail schedule. The county accepts bail in the form of cash, a surety bond, or a property bond.

The Monrovia Jail’s license allows for 25 inmates, but the jail often has to make room for many more, especially on weekends. Most city and county jails in California turn over at least 35-40% of their inmate population each month, another 25-30% every 90 days, and another 15-20% every six months. Approximately 8-9% stay incarcerated between six and twelve months. Those held longer than twelve months usually face serious charges like murder or rape, and 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.

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

Paying bail for someone in custody in Los Angeles County

Once someone is booked at Monrovia Jail in Monrovia after an arrest, there are several outcomes:

1. They may be released without paying bail, agreeing to show up on a scheduled date.
2. They may remain in custody until their court appearance.
3. They can pay a bail or bond for release. Call 626-256-8000 for bail details.

Bail payments can take several forms.

• The full cash bond is paid at the jail's bonding window or at the clerk of court using cash, a cashier's check or a money order, while many jails add a card option at a lobby kiosk or through an online bond service for a fee; bring the inmate's full name and booking number, and call the jail at 626-256-8000 with questions.
• A licensed bail bond agent in Los Angeles County can help cover bail.
• Many courts take real estate as security for a bond; the property owner must show clear title plus equity at least equal to the bond, often twice it, backed by a deed and a recent tax or appraisal value, and the court that set the bail gives final approval.
