Los Angeles County Jail Information

Los Angeles is one of the largest cities in the United States and has many city jails and holding facilities that require a Los Angeles bail bondsman for the release of arrestees as a result.

In fact, Los Angeles is home to the world’s largest jail, Men’s Central Jail, also referred to as the Twin Towers Correctional Facility or the Twin Towers Jail. The complex is over 1.5 million square feet.

Los Angeles Bail Bonds Information

Most arrestees will be transferred to the Twin Towers if they do not post bail, or if there is a shortage of adequate space at the smaller jails where they were originally detained, but most people will not booked at the Twin Towers for common arrests.

If booked at the Twin Towers or an actual Los Angeles county jail, bail processes can take substantially longer than usual. It’s not uncommon for the booking process alone to exceed 24 hours, and there can be up to a 10-hour delay for release even after a bail bond has been posted.

Typically, arrestees are released with the help of a Los Angeles bail bondsman from smaller city jails. Freeing your loved one with the help of a Los Angeles bail bonds company will be a much quicker process if they are located at any of the Los Angeles city jails.

These smaller Los Angeles County jails exist in:

• El Monte
• Long Beach
• Lost Hills/Malibu
• Nowalk
• Santa Monica
• Torrance
• Pico Rivera
• Whittier
• And elsewhere

Additionally, many police stations have their own small jail facilities. It is not uncommon for many people to be booked and released at Los Angeles Police Department stations local to the municipality where they were arrested.
