Facility Overview
The Gardena Jail operates inside the Gardena Police Department at 1718 West 162nd Street, in the civic center at the northern end of the South Bay.
It books and briefly holds arrests made by Gardena officers — identification, prints, warrant checks, and a bed for the hours before either a bail release or a transfer into Los Angeles County custody.
Gardena sits where the 91, the 110, and the 405 draw traffic from across the basin, and the city's card rooms and commercial corridors keep the department busy at odd hours. Plenty of people booked here do not live in the city, which is exactly when a fast local posting matters most.
Nothing is heard at this address and no bail is accepted at a court counter. The bond goes to the facility physically holding the defendant.

Hours & Visiting
Visiting runs on a scheduled, restricted calendar. Bail posting at Gardena 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 separate systems. The courthouse keeps weekday business hours; a bond is accepted here overnight and on holidays.
Booking must clear first. On heavy weekend nights in the South Bay that adds hours.
Transfers run on the Sheriff's schedule, not on request. Once one leaves, the release point moves downtown.
Confirm the current facility before driving. A defendant listed here an hour ago may already be en route.

Booking & Custody Process
From a Gardena arrest to a release on 162nd Street.
Arrest By Gardena PD
The arrestee is transported to the police department at 1718 W 162nd St, 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 Gardena 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 assigned courthouse and returned afterward.
How To Post Bail At Gardena 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 Gardena arrest is set at booking under the county schedule. No hearing is required and no courtroom has to be open.
Where the bond lands decides the wait. Posted here it is a quick local release; posted after the transfer it runs through a downtown discharge process measured in hours.
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 Gardena 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 northwest. Gardena has no courthouse of its own, and the Inglewood building carries the calendar for this cluster of South Bay cities.
Inglewood Courthouse
One Regent St, Inglewood, CA 90301
The courthouse whose jurisdiction covers Gardena, along with Inglewood, Hawthorne, and Lawndale. Once booking clears on 162nd Street, the first appearance is calendared there, and a defendant still in custody is transported in rather than released to it.

825 Maple Ave, Torrance, CA 90503
The Southwest District courthouse south of Gardena. Not the Gardena assignment, but the other major South Bay criminal location and worth knowing if a matter is refiled.
