We cover Men's Central Jail (441 Bauchet St), Twin Towers Correctional Facility (450 Bauchet St), Century Regional Detention Facility in Lynwood (women's intake), North County Correctional Facility, Pitchess Detention Center East, North and South in Castaic, and the Inmate Reception Center (IRC) downtown, where bookings and releases are processed. We also post at every LAPD station jail — 77th Street, Hollywood, Van Nuys, Pacific, Foothill, Northeast, Rampart, Wilshire, Southwest, Southeast, Central, Newton, West LA, Devonshire, Mission, Olympic, Harbor, Topanga, and West Valley — plus every LASD station jail from Malibu/Lost Hills to Palmdale and Lancaster. If your loved one was booked anywhere in Los Angeles County, we know the intake team, the release window, and the fastest path to the door.
Most in-custody felonies are arraigned within 48 court hours at the Clara Shortridge Foltz Criminal Justice Center (CCB) at 210 W Temple St in downtown Los Angeles. Regional arraignment courts include Airport Branch (LAX), Van Nuys Courthouse East, Long Beach Governor George Deukmejian Courthouse, Pomona Courthouse South, Pasadena Courthouse, San Fernando Courthouse, Antelope Valley Courthouse (Lancaster), Compton Courthouse, and Torrance Courthouse. When we post your bond we automatically calendar every court appearance, send reminders 72 hours before each date, and coordinate with your private attorney or public defender so nothing slips.
Los Angeles County publishes one of the highest felony bail schedules in California, updated annually by the Superior Court. Typical amounts: DUI misdemeanor $5,000–$20,000; domestic violence PC 273.5 $50,000; assault with a deadly weapon PC 245 $50,000–$100,000; possession for sale HS 11351 $30,000; robbery PC 211 $100,000; residential burglary $50,000. California caps the bail bond premium at 10% by statute (CA Ins. Code §1800), so a $50,000 bond costs $5,000 and a $100,000 bond costs $10,000. Anyone advertising less than 10% is breaking state law. Flexible payment plans are available — ask for details. Ask about discounts you may qualify for.
Release time depends on the jail's processing and is often a few hours after the bond is posted; busy times such as weekend nights can take longer. Friday and Saturday nights run the longest — the IRC processes 300+ releases per shift. If your loved one has a PC 1275 hold (source-of-funds hearing required), an ICE detainer, a probation/parole hold, or an out-of-county warrant, the bond alone won't release them; we'll tell you upfront and walk you through what has to clear first. No surprises, no wasted premium.

Most people arrested by the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department (LASD), and many people transferred from city police stations, end up at the downtown jail complex on Bauchet Street. Men's Central Jail (MCJ) sits at 441 Bauchet St, Los Angeles, CA 90012. Directly across the street is Twin Towers Correctional Facility (TTCF) at 450 Bauchet St.
Inside Twin Towers is the Inmate Reception Center (IRC). The IRC handles intake, booking, processing and release for people in LASD custody, so it is usually the place a family is waiting on once a bond has been posted. If you need to confirm where someone is housed, LASD's inmate information line is (213) 473-6100, and the online LA County inmate locator can be searched by name or booking number.
Women in LASD custody are generally housed at Century Regional Detention Facility (CRDF), 11705 S Alameda St, Lynwood, CA 90262. Bonds for someone at CRDF follow the same overall process; the facility just differs from the downtown complex.
Criminal cases from central Los Angeles are heard at the Clara Shortridge Foltz Criminal Justice Center, 210 W Temple St, Los Angeles, CA 90012, which is a Los Angeles Superior Court criminal courthouse. Many in-custody first appearances happen at the Central Arraignment Courts, 429 Bauchet St, Los Angeles, CA 90012 — on the same street as the jails.
Our Los Angeles office is at 965 N Vignes St Ste 5h, close to the Bauchet Street jails and the downtown courts, so paperwork, co-signer meetings and court-date questions can be handled nearby.
Every case is different, but the sequence is usually the same. After an arrest, the person is booked: fingerprints, photographs, a records check and property intake. Bail is then set — either from the county bail schedule for the listed charge or by a judge, who can raise, lower or deny bail or add conditions. Once a bail amount is set, a bond can be posted. After the jail accepts the bond, it completes its own release processing through the IRC or the housing facility.
How long that last step takes is up to the jail and varies with volume, holds from other agencies, warrants and court orders. We can't promise a release time or a result, but we can tell you where things stand and keep you updated.
Calling (909) 406-6909 starts the process. Having this information ready makes it faster:
Bail bond premiums in California are regulated by the Department of Insurance and are typically 10% of the bail amount. The premium is the fee for the bond and is not refunded when the case ends. Depending on the bail amount and the people signing, we may ask for a co-signer and, in some cases, collateral. Payment plans and 0% down are available on approved credit (OAC). Approval is not guaranteed and depends on each situation.
Signing for a bond means accepting responsibility for the defendant attending every court date. If you have questions about the case itself, talk to a criminal defense attorney — we handle the bond, not legal advice.
We help families from Downtown LA, Boyle Heights, East LA, Hollywood, South LA, Koreatown, Long Beach, Pasadena, Glendale, Lynwood, Compton, the San Fernando Valley.
