Facility Overview
Century Regional Detention Facility, at 11705 S. Alameda Street in Lynwood, is the only women's facility in the entire Los Angeles County jail system. Women arrested anywhere in the county — regardless of which city or station made the arrest — are generally housed here rather than at any of the downtown facilities.
That single fact changes where a family should be looking. A woman arrested in Lancaster, Long Beach, or Pomona does not stay near the arrest; once county custody takes over and classification runs, she is generally routed to Lynwood. Searching under the arresting city's own jail is the most common reason a family cannot find her.
CRDF operates 24 hours a day, every day, and — unlike the Pitchess complex — has its own dedicated 24/7 bail cashier, so bail for a woman held here doesn't need to route through the downtown IRC cashier the way Pitchess bookings do.
No case is heard inside the facility. In-custody defendants are transported to their assigned courthouse for each appearance and returned afterward.

Hours & Visiting
The facility itself runs around the clock, and so does bail posting. Public visiting is scheduled through LASD — and the current day-of-week rotation is the one thing we will not state as fact without a single official source behind it.

Bail posting and visiting are separate systems here as everywhere else — a bond can be posted at 3 AM on a day with no visiting at all.
We deliberately do not publish a guessed visiting rotation for CRDF. Multiple third-party jail-directory sites list conflicting days, and none of them are the Sheriff's Department.
Because CRDF has its own cashier, a bond for a woman held here posts in Lynwood — families often drive downtown unnecessarily on the assumption that all county bail goes through the IRC.
Confirm the current public visiting schedule directly with the Sheriff's Department before traveling to Lynwood — or call us and we will check the booking, the housing status, and the current visiting window in the same phone call.

View pageBooking & Custody Process
Six real steps from the arresting agency to release. For women, Step 4 is where CRDF enters the picture — regardless of which station or city made the arrest.
Arrest & Agency Booking
The arresting agency books the defendant first. Bail can often be posted at that jail before any county transfer, which keeps the release local and faster.
Transfer Into County Custody
If bail isn't posted locally, custody transfers to the county and the defendant is transported for countywide processing.
Reception & Processing
Booking, fingerprinting, and medical screening run through the county intake process. Until intake clears, a release cannot be executed even if a bond has already been paid.
Classification & Housing (CRDF)
Women are classified to CRDF specifically during this step, regardless of which station or city made the arrest — there is no other women's facility in the county system to be assigned to.
Court Transport
In-custody defendants are transported to their assigned courthouse for each appearance and returned to Lynwood afterward.
Release
Once a bond is accepted and processing clears, release runs through the facility's discharge process — commonly several hours, and longer overnight or after a weekend booking surge.
How To Post Bail At CRDF
Premium on a California bail bond is set by the rate filed with the Department of Insurance under Cal. Ins. Code §1800. The starting bail figure comes from the Los Angeles Superior Court’s felony and misdemeanor bail schedule, adopted under Penal Code §1269b, and review or reduction of that figure runs under Penal Code §1270.1.
Bail on a Los Angeles County arrest is set at booking under the county bail schedule, before any judge has seen the case, which is why a bond can be posted here in the middle of the night.
Bail for a woman held at CRDF can be posted directly here, 24/7, at (323) 357-5100 — no need to route through the downtown IRC cashier.
Arraignment is the first judicial review of the number. A judge can keep it, raise it, reduce it, or grant own-recognizance release, and either side can move to change bail later under §1270.1.
Qualifying cosigners can start as low as 1% down on approved credit.
If A Court Date Is Missed After Release
A bond written for CRDF stays live through every appearance until the case resolves. A missed date can mean a forfeited bond and a bench warrant the same day, with a limited statutory window to bring the defendant back before the forfeiture becomes a judgment against the cosigner.
Failure To Appear Bail BondsNearby Courthouses
No case is heard inside the jail. Women held at CRDF are transported to the courthouse assigned to their case, which is generally driven by where the arrest happened rather than by the facility itself.
Not yet confirmed. Lynwood's own nearest courthouse is likely the Compton Courthouse given geographic proximity, but we have not independently verified it as a routing destination for CRDF specifically — so we are not publishing it as fact. Call us and we will confirm the actual assigned courthouse for a specific case, or check the case directly on the Los Angeles Superior Court site below.
Which Cities Route Here
Every city and station in this directory that books a woman routes her to this facility, regardless of the city's own listed "nearest jail facility" for general population. Rather than repeat a misleading subset here, use the full Los Angeles County city directory — every one of those cities can end up at CRDF.
Full Los Angeles County City DirectoryBail FAQs
Is CRDF the only place women are held in LA County?
Within the county jail system, yes — Century Regional Detention Facility in Lynwood is the county's only women's facility. Women may be held briefly at an arresting city's own police jail before county transfer, but once county custody and classification run, CRDF is where they are generally housed.
Can I pay bail directly here, or do I have to go through the IRC?
Directly here. CRDF has its own dedicated 24/7 bail cashier at (323) 357-5100. That is different from the Pitchess complex in Castaic, which has no cashier at all and requires bail to be paid at the downtown IRC.
What are the current visiting days?
Attorney and professional visits run Monday through Friday, 9:15 AM to 4:00 PM. The general public visiting day rotation could not be confirmed against a single current official source — several third-party sites conflict — so rather than guess, call the facility or call us and we will confirm the current schedule before you travel.
How do I know if my family member is here?
If a woman was arrested anywhere in Los Angeles County and has cleared county intake, CRDF is the most likely place she is housed. If she is not appearing yet, she is probably still in processing at the Inmate Reception Center. Call us with a full legal name and date of birth and we will trace it.
What do I need to post bail here?
A full legal name and date of birth is enough to start. We confirm the booking, the bail amount, and the housing status, then post the bond at CRDF's own cashier at any hour, including nights, weekends, and holidays.
