Do you have an outstanding warrant in Mono County or anywhere in California? Need information about a court case involving you, a friend, or a relative? Start by visiting the California Superior Court.
In Mono County, as in every California court, most criminal defendants have a constitutional right to bail before trial, except in certain capital and violent felony cases. A California Supreme Court ruling requires judges to consider whether a defendant can afford bail and prohibits holding someone solely because they can’t pay unless no less restrictive option would protect public safety or ensure a court appearance. Under Rule 4.101, whether a defendant wants a jury trial cannot factor into the bail amount.
To find out how much bail an inmate needs, call the Mono County Jail at 760-932-7549. You can also look up the Mono County bail schedule yourself if you know the charge. The county accepts cash, surety bonds, and property bonds.
The Mono County Jail is licensed for 75 inmates, but it is often forced to make room for many more, especially on weekends. Most city and county jails in California turn over their population on this schedule:
Offenders held longer than twelve months are usually facing serious charges 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 Mono County facilities much longer.
Every year, approximately 2,000 offenders are arrested and detained by Mono County law enforcement agencies.
The 75-bed Mono County Jail is responsible for the housing and care of those who are accused or convicted of committing a misdemeanor or felony in Mono County as they wait for their trial or as they serve their sentence, usually less than one year.
The county is currently in the process of building a new jail, which should be finished in the summer of 2026. The existing jail at 25 Emigrant Street in Bridgeport, located one block north of the Sheriff's Office, was first occupied in 1964, replacing the historic stone Mono County Jail, built in the 1880s.

Staff is available to transport all inmates to court dates and any medical appointments or emergency needs, as well as inspecting all mail for contraband, receiving commissary funds and other money for inmates, maintaining the safety of the community and the security of the facility, and other tasks.
The Mono County Jail also provides several other services to inmates including basic needs in meals, laundry, and hygiene items, and programs including AA, counseling, religious programs, education, recreation, and opportunities to grow social and life skills.
Along with the efforts made by the staff, reduced recidivism is seen when inmates are able to stay in contact and supported by their family or friends who are not incarcerated so mail, phones, and visits are provided.
Visits are in person, and are via video and an account is created online to book and complete visits, allowing both visitors and inmates to schedule a visit.
Phone accounts are also registered online, and allow for inmates to make outgoing calls during the daytime and evening hours when they are not participating in a task or program.
