Sheriff's Inmate Information
The official Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department site, home of the county inmate information system — search by full legal name or booking number.
Inmate Reception Center
The countywide intake center's line — the Sheriff's number, not Cheap Bail Bonds's bail line.
Jail Information Line
The Sheriff's line for information about a person in custody — this is the county's number, not Cheap Bail Bonds's bail line.
Pitchess Detention Center
The north-county jail complex in Castaic — again, the Sheriff's number, not Cheap Bail Bonds's bail line.
How To Search For An Inmate In Los Angeles County
Not every Los Angeles County arrest shows up in the county system right away — LAPD and dozens of city departments book locally first, and county jail and state prison are two completely separate systems.
Use The Sheriff's Inmate Locator
The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department runs the official inmate information system at lasd.org, covering every county jail. Search by full legal name or booking number — nicknames and misspellings are the most common reason a search comes back empty.
Check Who Made The Arrest
LAPD and dozens of city police departments book locally first, and the Sheriff's Department contracts policing to many Los Angeles County cities. A very recent arrest may only exist in a municipal system for now.
Allow For The Transfer Window
Los Angeles County is enormous. How long an arrest takes to appear in the county system depends on which agency made it and how busy intake is — if the name is not there yet, wait and search again.
Know The Real County Intake System
Nearly everyone arrested by the Sheriff's Department passes through the Inmate Reception Center at 450 Bauchet Street before being classified and moved to Men's Central Jail, Twin Towers, or the Castaic complex. Women are housed separately at the Century Regional Detention Facility in Lynwood.
Or Hand It To Us
Give us a name, a rough date of birth, and the arresting agency. We check the county system and call back with the actual answer, including the bail amount. Call (213) 510-1281.
Los Angeles County Jails
The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department runs the largest jail system in the country. County arrests run through the Inmate Reception Center on Bauchet Street; housing is split between the downtown complex, the women's facility in Lynwood, and the Pitchess complex in Castaic. These hold pre-trial detainees, the people bail actually applies to. State prisons are CDCR, a separate system, and are not listed here.

Call (213) 510-1281Bail Options After Inmate Location
Once you know where your loved one is being held, the next question is the bond. California law shapes both how bail is set and what a bail bond costs.
How Bail Is Set In California
Under Penal Code §1269b, each county adopts a bail schedule — a preset bail amount by charge — that applies at booking. A judge can raise or lower that amount, or release the defendant on their own recognizance, at a court hearing.
Read PC §1269bBail Hearings
Penal Code §1270.1 requires a formal hearing before bail can be increased or reduced on certain serious or violent felony charges. That hearing window is when having a bondsman ready matters most — the bond can be posted the moment bail is set.
Read PC §1270.1What A Bond Costs
Bail bond premiums in California are regulated under Insurance Code §1800 and typically run 10% of the face amount of the bond. Qualified cosigners can start with as low as 1% down on a written payment plan.
Read Ins. Code §1800Typical Los Angeles County Bail Bond Cost
| Bail Amount | Typical 10% Premium | Payment Plan Available |
|---|---|---|
| $1,500 | $150 | Yes, with an approved cosigner |
| $5,000 | $500 | Yes, with an approved cosigner |
| $10,000 | $1,000 | Yes, with an approved cosigner |
| $25,000 | $2,500 | Yes, with an approved cosigner |
| $50,000 | $5,000 | Yes, with an approved cosigner |
| $100,000 | $10,000 | Yes, with an approved cosigner |
Examples only. The exact premium and down payment depend on the charge, the court, and cosigner qualification. Call (213) 510-1281 for an exact quote before anything is signed.
Visitation Rules and Hours for Los Angeles County
Visitation policy differs by facility and changes over time, and published third-party hours for the Century Regional Detention Facility in Lynwood do not agree with one another — always confirm the current schedule directly with the Sheriff's Department before traveling.
Scheduling A Visit
Confirm current policy at lasd.org before traveling
- Visitation hours and the walk-in vs. appointment policy change; confirm the current schedule on the official Sheriff's site first.
- Every facility runs its own visitation schedule, and third-party listings for the Lynwood women's facility conflict — confirm directly with the Sheriff's Department.
- A valid government-issued photo ID is required for any visit.
Video Visitation
Available through the county's video visitation vendor
- Remote video visits let you visit from home instead of traveling to the facility.
- Fees and time windows are set by the county's visitation vendor and vary by facility.
- Have the incarcerated person's full name and booking number ready when scheduling.
Before You Go
A few rules apply at every facility
- All visitors are subject to search before entering the visitation area.
- Dress code and conduct rules are enforced; violations can end the visit.
- Visitation rights can be suspended for rule violations.
Where The Next Court Date Happens
After bail is posted, the case moves to court. Most Los Angeles County criminal cases are heard downtown in the Civic Center, walking distance from the Bauchet Street jail complex.
Clara Shortridge Foltz Criminal Justice Center
210 West Temple Street, Los Angeles, CA 90012
The primary Los Angeles County criminal courthouse: arraignments, pretrial hearings, and trials. It sits in the Civic Center, a short walk from Men's Central Jail, Twin Towers, and the Inmate Reception Center, so releases and hearings often happen the same day.
Los Angeles County also runs branch courthouses across the region — Compton, Long Beach, Van Nuys, Norwalk, Inglewood and more — and a case is usually heard near where the arrest happened. Confirm the courthouse named on the notice to appear; we confirm it with you when the licensed agent we connect you with posts the bond.
What Happens At The First Court Date
- The judge confirms the charge, reviews the bond, and sets future court dates.
- Missing any court date can forfeit the bond and trigger a new warrant — every defendant the agents we connect you with bond out gets the date in writing.
- The courthouse is a short walk from the downtown jail complex, so releases and hearings often happen the same day.
