Walnut Jail Inmate Search

To look into a possible warrant in Los Angeles County or anywhere in California, or to get information about a court case involving you, a friend, or a relative, start with the California Superior Court.

Most criminal defendants in Los Angeles County and across California are constitutionally entitled to bail before trial, with exceptions for certain capital and violent felony cases. The California Supreme Court has held that judges must consider a defendant’s ability to pay, and can detain someone who can’t afford bail only if no less restrictive alternative would protect public safety or ensure their appearance in court. Judges also cannot take into account whether the defendant wants a jury trial (Rule 4.101).

Calling the jail at 626-913-1715 is the easiest way to learn an inmate’s bail at the Walnut Jail. If you know the crime the inmate is accused of, you can also check the Los Angeles County bail schedule yourself. The county accepts cash, a surety bond, or a property bond.

The Walnut Jail is licensed to house 25 inmates, but it is often forced to hold many more, particularly on weekends. Across most city and county jails in California, at least 35-40% of inmates turn over within a month, another 25-30% within 90 days, and another 15-20% within six months, and about 8-9% stay six to twelve months. When an inmate is held longer than twelve months, it’s usually because they face a serious charge like rape or murder. Those cases take time to prepare for trial, so offenders arrested in this county remain in one of the Los Angeles County facilities much longer.

Each year, approximately 462,420 offenders are arrested and detained by Los Angeles County law enforcement agencies.

How to handle bail after an arrest in Los Angeles County

If someone has been booked at Walnut Jail in Walnut, their next steps may include:

1. Release without posting bail, provided they agree to attend court.
2. Detainment until their trial.
3. Posting bail or bond to secure release. For the exact amount, call 626-913-1715.

There are a variety of payment methods available for bail.

• The usual way to post a cash bond is to pay the full amount at the jail bonding window or the clerk of court by cash, cashier's check or money order; many jails also offer card payment through a lobby kiosk or online bond vendor for a fee, and you should bring the inmate's full name and booking number (call 626-913-1715 for the jail).
• Assistance is available from licensed bail bond companies in Los Angeles County.
• Real property bonds are accepted in many courts: an owner may offer land or a home after showing clear title and equity of at least the bond, often double, with a deed and a recent tax or appraisal value, and the court that set bail approves it.
