Is there a warrant out for your arrest in Solano County or somewhere else in California? Do you need information about a court case involving you or a loved one? The California Superior Court is a good place to start.
Under the California Constitution, most criminal defendants in Solano County are entitled to bail before trial, apart from certain capital and violent felony cases. The California Supreme Court has ruled that bail must be set with the defendant’s ability to pay in mind, and that judges should turn to less restrictive conditions when those would protect the public and ensure a return to court. Per Rule 4.101, a defendant’s choice about a jury trial can’t be considered in setting bail.
To get an inmate’s bail, call the Solano County Justice Center at 707-421-7100. As long as you know the charge they were arrested on, you can look up the Solano County bail schedule yourself. The county accepts cash, a surety bond, or a property bond.
