Facility Overview
The Hawthorne PD Jail operates inside the Hawthorne Police Department at 12501 South Hawthorne Boulevard, in the civic center between the 405 and the 105 at the north end of the South Bay.
It books and briefly holds arrests made by Hawthorne officers — identification, prints, warrant checks, and a bed for the hours before either a bail release or a transfer into Los Angeles County custody.
Hawthorne is one of the municipal facilities that runs a pay-to-stay program, where a defendant who has already been sentenced can apply to serve an approved sentence here for a daily fee instead of in county jail. It is a real program and worth knowing about, but it is a post-sentencing option — it has no bearing on getting someone out of booking tonight, which is what bail does.
No case 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 Hawthorne PD 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. That is the usual reason a family is asked to wait shortly after an arrest.
Transfers run on the Sheriff's schedule, not on request. Once one leaves, the release point moves downtown.
Pay-to-stay intake is scheduled separately from all of this and does not change how or when a bond is posted.

Booking & Custody Process
From a Hawthorne arrest to a release on Hawthorne Boulevard.
Arrest By Hawthorne PD
The arrestee is transported to the police department at 12501 S Hawthorne Blvd, 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 Hawthorne 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 Hawthorne PD 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 Hawthorne 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 Hawthorne PD 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 miles northeast. Hawthorne has no courthouse of its own, and the Inglewood building carries the calendar for this group of South Bay cities.

One Regent St, Inglewood, CA 90301
The courthouse whose jurisdiction covers Hawthorne, along with Inglewood, Lawndale, and Gardena. Once booking clears on Hawthorne Boulevard, the first appearance is calendared there, and a defendant still in custody is transported in rather than released to it.
