If you need to check on a warrant in Los Angeles County or anywhere in California, or find specific information about a court case involving you, a friend, or a relative, start with the California Superior Court.

California’s constitution guarantees most criminal defendants in Los Angeles County and elsewhere in the state the right to pretrial release on bail, with exceptions for certain capital and violent felony cases. The California Supreme Court has ruled that ability to pay must be part of every bail decision, and that less restrictive conditions should be used when they would protect the public and ensure the defendant appears in court. Judges may not consider a request for a jury trial when setting bail (Rule 4.101).

You can learn an inmate’s bail amount by calling the San Fernando Jail at 818-898-1267. As long as you know the charge, the bail schedule for Los Angeles County is another option. The county accepts cash, a surety bond, or a property bond.

With a licensed capacity of 25 inmates, the San Fernando Jail is often forced to make room for many more offenders, especially on weekends. Most city and county jails in California turn over at least 35-40% of their population every month. Another 25-30% turns over every 90 days and another 15-20% every six months, while about 8-9% stay between six and twelve months. Inmates held longer than twelve months are generally facing serious charges like rape or murder. Because those cases take longer to prepare for trial, offenders arrested in this county stay in custody at one of the Los Angeles County facilities much longer.

Every year, Los Angeles County law enforcement agencies arrest and detain approximately 461,920 offenders.

How do you post bail in Los Angeles County?

If someone is taken to San Fernando Jail in San Fernando 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 818-898-1267.

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 818-898-1267.
• 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.
