Torrance Jail Inmate Search

Want to find out whether there’s a warrant for your arrest in Los Angeles County or anywhere in California? Need details on a court case involving a friend or relative? The California Superior Court is a good starting point.

The California Constitution gives most criminal defendants in Los Angeles County and across the state a right to bail before trial, except in certain capital and violent felony cases. In a 2021 ruling, the California Supreme Court held that judges must take a defendant’s ability to pay into account and may not hold someone solely because they can’t afford bail unless no less restrictive alternative will protect the public or ensure they appear in court. Rule 4.101 also bars judges from considering whether the defendant has requested a jury trial.

Calling the Torrance Jail at 310-618-5631 is the quickest way to find out an inmate’s bail. As long as you know the crime they’re accused of, you can also look up the Los Angeles County bail schedule yourself. This county accepts cash, surety bonds, and property bonds.

The Torrance Jail is licensed for 25 inmates, but on weekends especially, it is often forced to hold many more. Most city and county jails in California turn over at least 35-40% of their inmate population monthly, another 25-30% every 90 days, and another 15-20% every six months, while approximately 8-9% remain six to twelve months. Stays of more than twelve months usually involve serious charges such as rape or murder. Because those cases take longer to prepare for trial, offenders arrested in this county stay at one of the Los Angeles County facilities much longer.

Each 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 Torrance Jail in Torrance 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 310-618-5631.

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 310-618-5631.
• 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.
