Wondering whether there’s a warrant for your arrest in Los Angeles County or anywhere in California? Looking for details on a court case that involves you or someone close to you? Begin with the California Superior Court.

In Los Angeles County and all other California courts, most people charged with a crime have a constitutional right to pretrial release on bail, except in 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. Judges also cannot consider a defendant’s request for a jury trial when setting bail, under Rule 4.101.

Call the Pasadena Jail at 626-744-4616 to find out an inmate’s bail. If you know what the inmate was arrested for, you can also look up the amount on the Los Angeles County bail schedule. This county accepts cash, a surety bond, or a property bond.

The Pasadena Jail is licensed for 25 inmates, but the jail is often forced to make room for many more, especially on weekends. Monthly turnover at most city and county jails in California is at least 35-40% of the inmate population, 90-day turnover is another 25-30%, six-month turnover is another 15-20%, and about 8-9% stay six to twelve months. Inmates held longer than twelve months are usually facing serious charges like rape or murder. Since those cases take time to prepare for trial, offenders arrested in this county remain in custody at 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 do you post bail in Los Angeles County?

If someone is taken to Pasadena Jail in Pasadena for booking, the next steps depend on their case:

1. The individual may be released without bail, under a promise to appear at a court hearing.
2. They could be held in custody until their trial.
3. They may post a bail or bond for release. To find out the exact bail amount, call 626-744-4616.

Bail payments can be handled in various ways.

• Cash bonds are paid in full, normally at the jail's bonding window or with the clerk of court, by cash, cashier's check or money order, and card payments are often possible through a kiosk in the lobby or an online vendor for a convenience fee; have the inmate's full name and booking number ready, and reach the jail at 626-744-4616.
• Licensed bail bond agents in Los Angeles County can facilitate payment.
• Property bonds are available in many courts: an owner may pledge land or a home after proving clear title and equity of at least the bond amount (often double) with the deed and a recent tax or appraisal figure, and the court that set bail decides whether to accept it.
