Facility Overview
The Alhambra City Jail is the municipal holding facility inside the Alhambra Police Department at 211 South First Avenue, in the middle of the city's civic center. Nearly every arrest made by Alhambra officers starts here.
It is a short-term facility, not a jail where anyone serves time. Its job is booking and holding — identification, fingerprints, records checks, and a bed for the hours between an arrest and either a bail posting or a transfer into the Los Angeles County jail system.
That short window is the reason speed matters. While a defendant is still in Alhambra custody, a bond produces a local release from a small building with a short queue. Once the Sheriff's Department takes custody, the same bond produces a release downtown after a far longer intake.
No case is heard at this address. The courthouse is a separate building a few blocks west, and no bail is taken at a court counter — the bond goes to whichever facility is physically holding the defendant.

Hours & Visiting
Visiting runs on a scheduled, restricted calendar. Bail posting at Alhambra Jail does not — a bond can be accepted at any hour of any day.
| Bail bonds accepted | 24 hours a day, 7 days a week |
|---|---|
| Police department front counter | Staffed around the clock for custody inquiries |
| Booking to bailable | Commonly a few hours once records checks clear |
| Typical local release | Often within a couple of hours of the bond being accepted |
| Midnight Bail Bonds | Open 24 hours, every day |
Visiting at a municipal jail this size is limited and generally arranged through the police department. Bail posting is not limited — a bond is accepted overnight and on holidays.
A booking cannot be bailed until processing clears. On a busy weekend night that adds time before anything can be posted, which is normal rather than a sign of a problem.
Transfers to county custody run on the Sheriff's schedule, not on request. Once a transfer leaves, the release moves downtown and gets slower.
Call before driving. Confirming the defendant is still at 211 South First Avenue takes a minute and saves a wasted trip across the San Gabriel Valley.

Booking & Custody Process
What happens between an Alhambra arrest and a release from South First Avenue.
Arrest By Alhambra PD
Officers transport the arrestee to the police department at 211 S First Ave. Custody begins here regardless of where in the city the arrest occurred.
Booking & Records Checks
Identification, photograph, fingerprints, warrant and record checks. Nothing can be posted until this clears — commonly a few hours.
Bail Set From The County Schedule
The amount comes from the Los Angeles County bail schedule for the charge booked, not from a judge. It is postable immediately once set.
Local Posting Window
While the defendant is still in Alhambra custody, a bond releases them from this building. This is the fastest outcome available.
County Transfer
Without a bond, custody is released to the Sheriff's Department — men downtown to the Inmate Reception Center, women to Century Regional in Lynwood.
Release Or Court Transport
A released defendant leaves with a court date. A defendant still in custody is transported to the assigned courtroom and returned afterward.
How To Post Bail At Alhambra Jail
Premium on a California bail bond is set by the rate filed with the Department of Insurance under Cal. Ins. Code §1800, the starting figure comes from the Los Angeles Superior Court bail schedule, and review or reduction runs under Penal Code §1270.1.
Bail on an Alhambra arrest is set at booking under the Los Angeles County schedule. No hearing is required to post it, and no courtroom needs to be open.
The decision that actually changes the outcome is where the bond lands. Posted at the city jail, the release is local and quick. Posted after the county transfer, the same bond releases the defendant downtown hours later.
Arraignment is the first judicial review of the amount. The judge can keep it, raise it, reduce it, or grant own-recognizance release, and either side can revisit bail later in the case.
Give us a full legal name and date of birth. We confirm the booking and the current facility, verify the amount, and post at any hour — 10% premium, 1% down on approved credit.
If A Court Date Is Missed After Release
A bond written at Alhambra City Jail 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.

Nearby Courthouse
Once booking clears here, the case moves a few blocks west — this is one of the rare pairings where the jail and the courthouse are within walking distance of each other.
Alhambra Courthouse
150 W Commonwealth Ave, Alhambra, CA 91801
The Northeast District courthouse for this city, roughly half a mile from the jail — close enough to walk. Arraignment on an Alhambra booking is calendared here, and a defendant still in county custody is bused back in for it.
View PagePasadena Courthouse
300 E Walnut St, Pasadena, CA 91101
The other general-jurisdiction courthouse in the same district. Depending on the charge and the filing, a Northeast District matter can be calendared here instead — read the courthouse name on the notice rather than assuming.
