Monterey Park 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 Monterey Park Jail at 626-307-1245. 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 Monterey Park Jail 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 being arrested, the offender is brought to the Monterey Park Jail for booking, which is the detailed process of identifying, classifying, deciding on charges, and whether the person will either be released on their own recognizance, allowed to be released on bail, or moved into the jail until their court date.
The first thing every newly arrested person must do is close their mouth. Everything an offender says may be used against them, so the best thing to do is remain silent when questioned about the arrest and what led to it.
These are the steps of booking someone into the Monterey Park Jail:
If you have any questions about when you can pay an offender's bond and what the cost will be, call the facility at 626-307-1245.
