Want to find out whether there’s a warrant for your arrest in Ventura County or anywhere in California? Need details on a court case involving a friend or relative? The California Superior Court is a good starting point.

The California Constitution gives most criminal defendants in Ventura County and across the state a right to bail before trial, except in certain capital and violent felony cases. In a 2021 ruling, the California Supreme Court held that judges must take a defendant’s ability to pay into account and may not hold someone solely because they can’t afford bail unless no less restrictive alternative will protect the public or ensure they appear in court. Rule 4.101 also bars judges from considering whether the defendant has requested a jury trial.

Calling the Ventura County Todd Road Jail at 805-933-8501 is the quickest way to find out an inmate’s bail. As long as you know the crime they’re accused of, you can also look up the Ventura County bail schedule yourself. This county accepts cash, surety bonds, and property bonds.

By the numbers, the Ventura County Todd Road Jail:

• Is licensed for 796 inmates at any given time
• Often has to make room for many more, especially on weekends

At most city and county jails in California, at least 35-40% of inmates turn over monthly, another 25-30% every 90 days, and another 15-20% every six months, while about 8-9% stay six to twelve months. Inmates held longer than twelve months are usually facing serious charges like rape or murder. Because those cases take longer to prepare for trial, offenders arrested in this county remain in custody at one of the Ventura County facilities much longer.

Each year, Ventura County law enforcement agencies arrest and detain approximately 42,800 offenders.

What is the process to pay bail for someone detained in Ventura County?

After an individual is apprehended and taken to Ventura County Todd Road Jail in Santa Paula for booking, their release options vary based on the situation:

1. They might be released without bail, on the condition they appear in court on a scheduled date.
2. They may be detained until their court appearance.
3. They may be eligible for release after posting a bail or bond.  Call 805-933-8501 for the exact bail amount.

There are different ways to settle an individual's bail or bond.

• To post a cash bond, pay the full amount at the jail bonding window or the clerk's office by cash, cashier's check or money order; many facilities also accept cards at a lobby kiosk or through an online bond vendor for a fee, and you will need the inmate's full name and booking number (jail phone: 805-933-8501).
• A licensed bail bondsman in Ventura County can assist with payment.
• Real property such as land or a house is accepted as collateral by many courts, provided the owner proves clear title and equity worth at least the bond, frequently twice the bond, with a deed and a current tax or appraisal value; the court that set bail signs off on it.
