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.

  • Personal identification verification.
  • Taking photographs (mugshots).
  • Medical and mental health assessment, as well as inquiries about substance use.
  • Possibly collecting DNA samples.
  • Performing a full-body search.
  • Seizing personal belongings for safekeeping.
  • Allowing one phone call.

Booking can take from a short hour to longer periods, especially on busy nights or with uncooperative individuals. For inquiries about posting bond for an arrestee, call the facility at 310-618-5631.
