Barstow Jail Inmate Search

Do you have an outstanding warrant in San Bernardino 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 San Bernardino 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 Barstow Jail at 760-255-5111. You can also look up the San Bernardino County bail schedule yourself if you know the charge. The county accepts cash, surety bonds, and property bonds.

While the Barstow Jail has a licensed capacity of 50, it is often forced to make room for many more inmates, especially on weekends. City and county jails in California generally turn over at least 35-40% of their inmates each month, another 25-30% every 90 days, and another 15-20% every six months, and about 8-9% stay incarcerated six to twelve months. Those held longer than twelve months are usually charged with serious crimes such as murder or rape. Because those cases take longer to prepare for trial, offenders arrested in this county are held at one of the San Bernardino County facilities much longer.

Every year, approximately 171,960 offenders are arrested and detained by San Bernardino County law enforcement agencies.

Steps to pay bail in San Bernardino County

After an arrest, individuals are brought to Barstow Jail in Barstow for processing. Following this, three possible outcomes exist:

1. The individual may be released without posting bail, with a promise to appear in court.
2. The individual could be held in jail until their court date.
3. Bail or bond can be posted for release; for more information, contact 760-255-5111.

Bail payment can be handled through various means.

• Pay a cash bond in full at the bonding window inside the jail or at the clerk of court, by cash, cashier's check or money order; a lobby kiosk or online bond vendor often takes debit and credit cards for an extra fee, and you should bring the inmate's full name and booking number (the jail can be reached at 760-255-5111).
• Licensed bail bond agents in San Bernardino County are available for assistance.
• Land or a home can often serve as bond collateral: the owner provides a deed and a recent tax or appraisal value showing clear title and equity of at least the bond amount, commonly double, and the court that set bail approves the pledge.
