Think you might have a warrant in Los Angeles County or anywhere else in California? Need specifics on a court case involving you, a friend, or a relative? Start with the California Superior Court.

In California, including Los Angeles County, the constitution gives most criminal defendants the right to be released on bail before trial, except in certain capital and violent felony cases. According to the California Supreme Court, judges must consider what a defendant can afford and use less restrictive release conditions when those would protect the public and ensure a return to court. Under Rule 4.101, judges also cannot consider whether the defendant has requested a jury trial.

For the fastest answer on an inmate’s bail, call the Whittier Jail at 562-567-9220. If you know the crime they were arrested for, you can look up the Los Angeles County bail schedule yourself. This county accepts cash, surety, and property bonds.

The Whittier Jail is licensed for 25 inmates, but it often has to make room for more, especially on weekends. Most city and county jails in California turn over their inmate population on roughly this schedule:

• At least 35-40% each month
• Another 25-30% every 90 days
• Another 15-20% every six months
• About 8-9% remain six to twelve months

Anyone held longer than twelve months is usually facing a serious charge like rape or murder. Because those cases take longer to prepare for trial, offenders arrested in this county remain in custody at one of the Los Angeles County facilities much longer.

Los Angeles County law enforcement agencies arrest and detain approximately 462,420 offenders every year.

What is the process to pay bail for someone detained in Los Angeles County?

After an individual is apprehended and taken to Whittier Jail in Whittier for booking, their release options vary based on the situation:

1. They might be released without bail, on the condition they appear in court on a scheduled date.
2. They may be detained until their court appearance.
3. They may be eligible for release after posting a bail or bond.  Call 562-567-9220 for the exact bail amount.

There are different ways to settle an individual's bail or bond.

• To post a cash bond, pay the full amount at the jail bonding window or the clerk's office by cash, cashier's check or money order; many facilities also accept cards at a lobby kiosk or through an online bond vendor for a fee, and you will need the inmate's full name and booking number (jail phone: 562-567-9220).
• A licensed bail bondsman in Los Angeles County can assist with payment.
• Real property such as land or a house is accepted as collateral by many courts, provided the owner proves clear title and equity worth at least the bond, frequently twice the bond, with a deed and a current tax or appraisal value; the court that set bail signs off on it.
