South Pasadena, CA
South Pasadena is a small San Gabriel Valley city wedged between Pasadena, Alhambra, and San Marino, all three of which already have pages in this network.
The city runs its own independent police force. The South Pasadena Police Department at 1422 Mission Street has been in service since 1888 and operates around the clock; the service and intake line is (626) 403-7270 and the direct dispatch emergency number is (626) 403-7297.
Because the arresting agency is a city department rather than the Sheriff, initial booking can be handled locally before any transfer into county custody — which is the usual reason a county inmate search comes back empty in the first hours. Once the transfer happens, men are processed at the Inmate Reception Center at 450 Bauchet Street and women are generally housed at Century Regional Detention Facility in Lynwood.
We have not independently confirmed which branch courthouse hears South Pasadena cases, so this page does not name one. The Bail Network posts bonds for South Pasadena arrests 24/7 at the state-regulated 10% premium, with as low as 1% down for qualified cosigners.

Arrest & Booking — What Happens First
Every South Pasadena arrest follows the same path. Here is each step, with the real contact at each one.
Find An InmateThe Arrest
South Pasadena Police Department officers make the arrest. Department: 1422 Mission St, South Pasadena, CA 91030, service/intake (626) 403-7270.
Local Booking
Initial booking can be completed at the city department before any transfer into county custody, so a county search right after the arrest can legitimately come back empty.
Transfer And Bail
Once in county custody, men go to the Inmate Reception Center at 450 Bauchet Street and women to Century Regional Detention Facility in Lynwood. Bail comes off the countywide schedule under Penal Code §1269b, or from a judge at the first appearance.
Call The Bail Network Immediately
We confirm the holding agency and the assigned courthouse, then post the bond as soon as bail is set. IRC 24/7 bail cashier: (213) 893-5875.

BookingCountywide intake for Sheriff's Department bookings. Most men are classified here and housed at Men's Central Jail or Twin Towers on the same downtown complex. Booking from South Pasadena typically routes here — the Sheriff's Department can move someone between facilities during classification, so always confirm the current location before travelling.

Where Bail Is Set
Bail is set once booking is complete, regardless of whether the arrest came from South Pasadena Police Department. Most bail amounts follow the countywide schedule set under Penal Code §1269b — not a city-specific schedule — and a judge can raise or lower it at arraignment. If you cannot locate your loved one right after a South Pasadena-area arrest, call us and we will tell you exactly where they are.

Inmate Reception Center (IRC) — 450 Bauchet Street, Los Angeles, CA 90012
The Inmate Reception Center is the central intake point for the entire Los Angeles County jail system. It is not a South Pasadena facility — but once the South Pasadena Police Department hands a booking to county custody, this is where the record is created and where the person actually is.
What happens here: booking, fingerprinting, photographing, and classification. Once someone is classified, they are assigned to a housing facility elsewhere in the county system — Men's Central Jail or Twin Towers downtown, or Century Regional Detention Facility in Lynwood for women. The IRC itself is a processing facility, not long-term housing, and it does not offer public visiting.
Processing at the IRC can take anywhere from a few hours to, in some documented cases, considerably longer before someone is fully classified and appears under an assigned facility. That is the single most common reason a search right after an arrest comes back empty — it does not mean the arrest did not happen.
Once bail is set — off the county schedule at booking, or by a judge at a later hearing — The Bail Network posts the bond directly at the IRC cashier, 24/7. This is also where bail is paid for anyone later transferred to the Pitchess complex in Castaic, since those facilities do not have their own cashier.

Los Angeles Superior Court Foltz Criminal Justice Center guideWhich Branch Court Hears It
Los Angeles County Superior Court runs 36 courthouses, and a case from South Pasadena is usually heard at the branch court serving this part of the county rather than downtown. We are not going to guess which one on this page — the courthouse named on the notice to appear is the authoritative answer, and we confirm it with you when we post the bond.

Case information for Los Angeles County cases is published by the Superior Court. Missing a court date means a bench warrant and bond forfeiture — call us before a date is missed, not after.
Los Angeles Superior CourtBail Amounts In South Pasadena — And What It Costs You
Bail set at booking follows Los Angeles County's uniform bail schedule adopted under Penal Code §1269b, so amounts in South Pasadena match the countywide figures — there is no separate South Pasadena schedule. Premiums are regulated under Insurance Code §1800 and typically run 10% of the bail amount.
Bail Payment Breakdown
| Total Bail Amount | 10% Premium (Total Cost) | 1% Down (To Start) |
|---|---|---|
| $5,000 | $500 | $50 |
| $10,000 | $1,000 | $100 |
| $25,000 | $2,500 | $250 |
| $50,000 | $5,000 | $500 |
| $100,000 | $10,000 | $1,000 |
Examples only. The 1% tier requires approved credit and a qualifying cosigner.
How The Math Works
Bail is set at $25,000. California's regulated premium is 10%, so your cost is $2,500. The Bail Network posts the full $25,000 with the court. The premium is earned and non-refundable once the bond is posted — that is California Insurance Code §1800, not our policy. Qualifying families can arrange payment plans starting as low as 1% down.
What Bail Costs By Charge Level
Legal Authority
Bail schedules are set by the Los Angeles County Superior Court judges in accordance with California Penal Code §1269b. Specific amounts may vary based on prior convictions and special circumstances.
Payment Plans — How Families Actually Pay
The premium is regulated, but how you pay it is not one-size-fits-all. Qualifying families can start as low as 1% down and pay the balance on a written schedule.
Payment Plans
Flexible schedules on the premium itself — ask about monthly arrangements built around what you actually earn.
Collateral Options
Many bonds, especially lower-tier misdemeanors and first-offense DUIs, do not require collateral at all.
Multiple Payment Methods
Visa, Mastercard, American Express, ACH bank transfer, Zelle, and cash.
The 10% premium is non-refundable once the bond is posted, regardless of the case outcome — that is California law (Insurance Code §1800), not Bail Network policy.
Qualifications
Who Qualifies — Bail Denial And Down-Payment Tiers
Misdemeanor Arrests — Almost Always Bailable
The county bail schedule adopted under Penal Code §1269b applies, so no judge is required for most cases. Release is often same-day once bail is set and the bond is posted.
Felony Arrests — Usually Bailable
Bail is commonly set at arraignment, and Penal Code §1270.1 requires a formal hearing before release on certain serious or violent felonies.
Bail-Denial Cases — Bail May Be Denied
Under Article I, §12 of the California Constitution, bail can be denied for capital offenses and for violent or sexual-assault felonies where the evidence is strong. In re Humphrey (2021) requires courts to weigh ability to pay before setting an unaffordable amount.
Domestic Violence — Protective Orders Apply
An Emergency Protective Order is often issued at arrest, with a longer Criminal Protective Order possible at arraignment. No-contact conditions typically apply on release — read them carefully before going home.
When Bail Can Be Denied
Under Article I, §12 of the California Constitution, bail can be denied for capital offenses, and for felonies involving acts of violence or sexual assault on another person, when the facts are evident and the presumption of guilt is great.
In In re Humphrey (2021), the California Supreme Court held that a court cannot set bail an arrestee is unable to afford without first considering their ability to pay and less restrictive alternatives. That argument is made at the bail hearing itself.
Payment Options
Down-Payment Tiers
1% is the lowest down payment we offer, but 5% is generally the sweet spot for bail bond payments.
- 1%1% downLowest Down
Strongest cosigner profile — good credit, long employment, homeowner or verifiable equity.
- 3%3% down

- 5%5% downSweet Spot
Mixed credit or shorter work history, still with a qualifying cosigner.
- 10%10% down
No cosigner, thin credit, prior failure-to-appear history, or a high-exposure charge.
We tell you the tier you actually qualify for before anything is signed — never a low number quoted to get you off the phone.

South Pasadena FAQs
Does South Pasadena have its own police department?
Yes. The South Pasadena Police Department is an independent city force at 1422 Mission Street, service and intake (626) 403-7270, operating 24 hours a day. The department has served the city since 1888.
Which courthouse hears a South Pasadena case?
We have not independently confirmed South Pasadena's branch courthouse assignment. The nearby Alhambra Courthouse has confirmed jurisdiction over Alhambra, Monterey Park, San Gabriel, and Temple City — South Pasadena is not named on that list, so we do not publish it as fact. Call us and we will confirm the correct courtroom from the booking record.
Will my loved one show up in the county inmate search right away?
Not necessarily. An independent city department can complete initial booking locally first. Once the case enters county custody, men are processed at the Inmate Reception Center at 450 Bauchet Street and women at Century Regional Detention Facility in Lynwood.
How much does a bail bond cost in South Pasadena?
Bail follows the countywide Los Angeles bail schedule adopted under Penal Code §1269b. Premiums are regulated under Insurance Code §1800 and typically run 10% of the bail amount, with as low as 1% down for qualified cosigners. The amount that applies to a South Pasadena arrest comes from that schedule, and a judge can raise it, lower it, or grant release on own recognizance at arraignment.
Can everything be handled without visiting an office?
Yes. Paperwork is signed electronically, payment is handled remotely, and a licensed agent posts the bond at the facility holding your loved one. For South Pasadena, that means nobody has to drive to a jail lobby to get the process started.
