Facility Overview
The Downey City Jail operates inside the Downey Police Department at 10911 Brookshire Avenue, in the civic center at the heart of the southeast county.
It books and briefly holds arrests made by Downey officers — identification, prints, warrant checks, and a bed for the hours before either a bail release or a transfer into Los Angeles County custody.
Downey is one of the few cities where the jail and the courthouse are in the same municipality, which makes the whole process feel closer together than it usually is. It also makes the distinction worth repeating: the jail books and holds, the courthouse hears — and a bond is posted at the first, never the second.
The 5, 605, and 105 all meet near this city, so a meaningful share of bookings here involve people who live elsewhere and are counting on a fast local release.

Hours & Visiting
Visiting runs on a scheduled, restricted calendar. Bail posting at Downey City 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 |
Court hours and jail hours are unrelated. The courthouse across town keeps weekday business hours; a bond is accepted here overnight and on holidays.
Booking must clear before anything posts. On busy weekend nights that adds time.
Transfers run on the Sheriff's schedule, not on request. Once one leaves, the release point moves downtown.
Confirm the current facility before driving — Brookshire Avenue and Bauchet Street are very different trips.

Booking & Custody Process
From a Downey arrest to a release on Brookshire Avenue.
Arrest By Downey PD
The arrestee is transported to the police department at 10911 Brookshire Ave, where city custody and booking begin.
Booking & Records Checks
Photograph, fingerprints, identification, and warrant checks must clear before a bond can be accepted.
Bail Set From The County Schedule
The amount comes from the Los Angeles County bail schedule for the booked charge and is postable right away.
Local Posting Window
Posting while Downey PD holds custody produces a release from this building, typically the same night.
County Transfer
Without a bond, custody passes to the Sheriff's Department: men to the Inmate Reception Center downtown, women to Century Regional in Lynwood.
Release Or Court Transport
A bailed defendant leaves with a court date. A defendant still in custody is bused to the courthouse on Imperial Highway and returned afterward.
How To Post Bail At Downey City 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 a Downey arrest is set at booking under the county schedule. No hearing is required and no courtroom has to be open.
Posting here produces a local release within the city. Posting after the transfer means a downtown discharge process measured in hours instead.
Arraignment is the first judicial review of the amount — it can be kept, raised, reduced, or replaced with own-recognizance release, and either side can move to revisit bail later.
Call with a full legal name and date of birth. We confirm the booking and 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 Downey 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 stays in the city. The courthouse is a few minutes east on Imperial Highway — one of the shorter jail-to-court moves in the southeast county.
Downey Courthouse
7500 E Imperial Hwy, Downey, CA 90242
The Southeast District courthouse in this city and the destination for arraignment out of a Downey booking. A defendant released on bond from Brookshire Avenue appears here on the date printed on the paperwork; a defendant still in custody is transported in and returned to county housing the same day.
