Do you suspect there’s a warrant for your arrest in Los Angeles County or elsewhere in California? Or do you need details about a court case involving a friend or relative? A good place to start is the California Superior Court.

Most criminal defendants in Los Angeles County and throughout California have a constitutional right to be released on bail before trial, with exceptions for certain capital and violent felony charges. The California Supreme Court has held that a person cannot be kept in jail solely because they can’t afford bail unless no less restrictive condition would protect public safety or ensure their return to court, so judges must consider ability to pay. Under Rule 4.101, judges also cannot consider whether a defendant has asked for a jury trial.

Want to know how much an inmate’s bail is? Call the Torrance Jail at 310-618-5631, or if you know the charge, check the bail schedule for Los Angeles County. The county accepts cash, a surety bond, or a property bond.

Although the Torrance Jail has a license for 25 inmates, it frequently has to accommodate many more, especially on weekends. Most city and county jails in California have a monthly turnover of at least 35-40%, another 25-30% every 90 days, another 15-20% every six months, and about 8-9% of inmates who stay between six and twelve months. Inmates held longer than a year usually face serious charges like rape or murder. Those cases take time to prepare for trial, so offenders arrested in this county remain in custody at one of the Los Angeles County facilities much longer.

Approximately 461,920 offenders are arrested and detained by Los Angeles County law enforcement agencies every year.

Paying bail for someone in custody in Los Angeles County

Once someone is booked at Torrance Jail in Torrance 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 310-618-5631 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 310-618-5631 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.
