Las Colinas Detention and Reentry Facility — The County's Facility For Women
Las Colinas is the county's primary intake facility for women — a “Direct Supervision” model facility with a focus on trauma-informed care, gender-responsive services, mental health programs, and job training. Capacity of 1,270, and one of the more modern facilities in the system.
The practical consequence families miss: a woman arrested anywhere in San Diego County is not held in the Otay Mesa complex. She is booked and housed in Santee, off Riverview Parkway. Searching the wrong facility, or driving to Alta Road, is a common and costly mistake.
Direct supervision means deputies are stationed inside the housing units rather than observing from a control booth. Combined with the campus layout, it makes Las Colinas operationally different from the older facilities in the county — and it is why programming, not just custody, is a real part of what happens there.

“Called after midnight and someone picked up who knew the booking process. Straight numbers, no pressure, everything signed from my phone.”
Devon T. · San Diego County, CA
“They wrote down the next court date and explained what happens if it's missed. Nobody else took the time to do that.”

Booking & Custody Process
For women, Las Colinas is both the intake point and the housing facility, which removes one transfer step but adds a geographic one for families searching downtown.
Arrest Anywhere In The County
The arresting agency transports to Las Colinas for county booking rather than to a downtown intake facility.
Booking And Identification
Fingerprints, photograph, property inventory, and charge entry, before any record is searchable.
Bail Set From The Schedule
Penal Code §1269b fixes the amount from the county bail schedule at booking.
Medical And Program Screening
The trauma-informed model includes health and needs screening that shapes housing placement on the campus.
Bond Filed At Las Colinas
The bond is filed in Santee, not in Otay Mesa or downtown. This is the single most common location error we correct.
Release Processing
Release begins once the bond is accepted; timing depends on facility volume and shift.

Nearby Courthouses
Las Colinas houses women arrested anywhere in San Diego County, so the courthouse follows the arrest location, not this building. Where the arrest happened in Santee — the city Las Colinas sits in — San Diego Superior Court names Santee as an East Division city, so the case is heard at the East County Regional Center in El Cajon. For an arrest elsewhere in the county, our courthouse directory lists every location and the cities the court confirms for each.
East County Regional Center
250 E Main St, El Cajon, CA 92020
Confirmed for arrests in Santee, the city this facility is located in. Women booked here after an arrest in another part of the county are heard at that area's courthouse instead.
