The California Superior Court is a good starting point if you need to know whether you have a warrant in San Mateo County or anywhere in California, or if you need information about a court case involving you, a friend, or a relative.
Most criminal defendants in San Mateo County, like those across California, have a constitutional right to pretrial release on bail, with exceptions for certain capital and violent felony cases. The California Supreme Court requires judges to consider a defendant’s ability to pay and prohibits detaining someone solely because they can’t afford bail unless no less restrictive option would protect public safety or ensure their appearance. Under Rule 4.101, judges also cannot consider whether the defendant has asked for a jury trial.
The best way to find out an inmate’s bail at the San Mateo County Youth Services Center is to call 650-312-5327. If you know the crime the inmate was arrested for, you can also look it up on the San Mateo County bail schedule. The county accepts bail in the form of cash, a surety bond, or a property bond.
The San Mateo County Youth Services Center’s license allows for 180 inmates, but the jail often has to make room for many more, especially on weekends. Most city and county jails in California turn over at least 35-40% of their inmate population each month, another 25-30% every 90 days, and another 15-20% every six months. Approximately 8-9% stay incarcerated between six and twelve months. Those held longer than twelve months usually face serious charges like murder or rape, and since those cases take longer to prepare for trial, offenders arrested in this county remain in custody at one of the San Mateo County facilities much longer.
Every year, approximately 48,760 offenders are arrested and detained by San Mateo County law enforcement agencies.
