Marin County Juvenile Hall

Providing care around the clock for all youth that are detained for welfare reasons, due to criminal charges, or if they are determined to be a threat to themselves or others, the Marin County Juvenile Hall serves the entire county. Within the facility are both classes provided by the Marin County Office of Education as well as medical services provided by the Public Health Department. Food is cooked on site and follows nutritional guidelines for the appropriate ages and needs of the youth, as well as considering all allergies or other concerns that are present. Upon arrival a screening is completed for all medical needs and concerns, to determine mental health status, intervene in any emergent situations or concerns, and to determine the housing assignment based upon age, gender, seriousness of charges, and prior behavior. Parents are permitted to have a visit with their child after their admission, and this visit may be at any time during their first 24 hours in the facility. Before they are released, another assessment may be completed and referrals will be provided for any ongoing services required and programs that will be beneficial in their reintegration. Phones: Youth will have access to phones to make phone calls only to their parents or guardians, and they will be permitted to make calls regularly. Visitation: Visiting hours are provided on Saturdays from 2:30pm to 3:30 pm and again on Wednesdays from 7pm until 8pm. Parents or legal guardians may visit during these hours only; other visitors require special approval. All visits must be scheduled at least 24 hours before the visit is to occur, and only visitors over the age of 21 will be permitted.

Whether you’re checking for a warrant in Marin County or anywhere in California, or looking for details on a court case involving you, a friend, or a relative, the California Superior Court is a good first stop.

In California, including Marin County, most criminal defendants have a constitutional right to bail before trial, except in certain capital and violent felony cases. Under a California Supreme Court ruling, judges setting bail must consider the defendant’s ability to pay and look at less restrictive conditions before detaining someone who can’t afford bail. Rule 4.101 prohibits judges from considering whether a defendant has requested a jury trial.

To learn an inmate’s bail amount, call the Marin County Juvenile Hall at 415-499-6705. If you know what the inmate has been charged with, you can also check the bail schedule for Marin County on your own. Bail can be posted in cash, with a surety bond, or with a property bond.

Licensed to hold 30 inmates at any given time, the Marin County Juvenile Hall often has to make room for more offenders, especially on weekends. At 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. Roughly 8-9% stay incarcerated six to twelve months. Those who stay longer than twelve months are usually facing serious charges like rape or murder, and because those cases take longer to prepare for trial, offenders arrested in this county remain in custody at one of the Marin County facilities much longer.

Marin County law enforcement agencies arrest and detain approximately 7,100 offenders every year.
