Central Valley Juvenile Detention and Assessment Center

The top capacity of the Central Valley Juvenile Detention and Assessment Center is 260 youths, but due to budget concerns and staff it houses only up to 220 youth at one time. When assigned to the facility a full intake is conducted to determine housing assignment and to assist in creating a program and group of resources that will best help that individual youth. Rules and expectations are all explained at that time, and they are provided with bedding, hygiene items, and clothing. The orientation is provided to set up each resident for success during their stay, and to prepare for their needs. Behavioral Health and social awareness are both a part of the programs offered to help the youth to have an easy reintegration with their community. Volunteer opportunities and community service are also used to encourage youth to feel a part of the community around them and to foster a sense of responsibility to that community. Mail, visits, and phone calls are all a key part of the family reunification process that occurs when a young offender has found themselves distant from their family and can be a good predictor of reduced recidivism in many cases. Mail: All mail will be checked to ensure it is not from someone who is on probation or in another facility, and that there is no contraband, but the amount of mail is unlimited. Time is provided frequently for youth to write letters and to read the letters that they receive. Letters should be addressed to the youth, complete with booking number, at the facility at 900 E. Gilbert Street, San Bernardino, CA 92415-0941 Phones: Phones are provided within the communal area and can be used to call family members or other people who have been approved previously by the staff. Visitation: Visits occur on the days and times assigned to each housing unit, so it is key to confirm the housing assignment before planning a visit. Visiting hours will be 2:30pm to 4:30pm, 6pm to 8pm or 9:30am to 11:30am.

Do you have a warrant for your arrest in San Bernardino County or anywhere else in California? Need details about a court case involving you, a friend, or a relative? The California Superior Court is a good place to start.

In San Bernardino County and every other court in California, most criminal defendants have a constitutional right to be released on bail before trial, with exceptions for certain capital and violent felony cases. The California Supreme Court has ruled that judges must consider a defendant’s ability to pay when setting bail, and can’t keep someone in jail simply because they can’t afford it unless no less restrictive option would protect public safety or ensure they return to court. Under Rule 4.101, judges also cannot consider whether the defendant has asked for a jury trial when setting bail.

The easiest way to find out an inmate’s bail at the Central Valley Juvenile Detention and Assessment Center is to call the jail at 909-383-1769. If you know the charge the inmate was arrested for, you can also look up the San Bernardino County bail schedule yourself. The county accepts cash, a surety bond, or a property bond.

The Central Valley Juvenile Detention and Assessment Center is licensed to hold 277 inmates at a time, but it often has to make room for more, especially on weekends. At most city and county jails in California, at least 35-40% of the inmate population turns over each month, another 25-30% every 90 days, and another 15-20% every six months, while about 8-9% stay incarcerated between six and twelve months. Inmates held longer than a year are usually facing serious charges such as rape or murder. Because those cases take so long to prepare for trial, offenders arrested in this county on such charges remain in custody at one of the San Bernardino County facilities much longer.

Each year, San Bernardino County law enforcement agencies arrest and detain approximately 171,000 offenders.
