They offer academic enrichment, special education, arts, college counseling, tutoring, and there is a garden provided as part of the outdoor classroom. Any who are over 18 or who have already graduated from high school there are online college courses or vocational training provided. Additional services and programs include all medical care, dental care, behavioral health services to address mental health and any substance abuse that may be present, as well as health education.

Do you have an outstanding warrant in San Francisco 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 Francisco 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 San Francisco County Juvenile Hall at 415-753-7800. You can also look up the San Francisco County bail schedule yourself if you know the charge. The county accepts cash, surety bonds, and property bonds.
