Facility Overview
The Lancaster Jail sits at 501 West Lancaster Boulevard, in the civic center of the Antelope Valley's largest city, north of the mountains and far from the rest of Los Angeles County.
It books and holds local arrests — identification, prints, warrant checks, and a bed for the hours before either a bail release or a transfer into the county system.
Distance is the defining fact up here. If a bond posts while custody is still in Lancaster, the release happens in Lancaster. If it posts after a transfer, the family is driving over the Angeles Forest to downtown Los Angeles, or to Lynwood, and back.
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 Lancaster 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 |
|---|---|
| Custody inquiries | (661) 948-8466, around the clock |
| 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 Antelope Valley courthouse keeps weekday business hours; a bond is accepted here overnight and on holidays.
Booking must clear before anything posts. That is the usual reason a family is asked to wait after an arrest.
Transfers run on the Sheriff's schedule, not on request. Once one leaves the valley, the release point is downtown.
Confirm the current facility before driving anywhere. From Lancaster, guessing wrong costs a full day.

Booking & Custody Process
From an Antelope Valley arrest to a release on Lancaster Boulevard.
Arrest In The Antelope Valley
The arrestee is transported to 501 W Lancaster Blvd, where local 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 custody remains in Lancaster produces a release here, without the seventy-mile trip south.
County Transfer
Without a bond, custody passes into the county system: 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 at the Antelope Valley courthouse. A defendant still in custody is transported to it and returned afterward.
How To Post Bail At Lancaster 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 Lancaster arrest is set at booking under the county schedule. No hearing is required and no courtroom has to be open.
Geography raises the stakes on timing more here than almost anywhere in the county. The same bond buys a release down the street or a release seventy miles away, depending on when it lands.
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 Lancaster 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 valley. Lancaster is one of the few places in the county where the jail and the assigned adult courthouse are in the same city.
Michael D. Antonovich Antelope Valley Courthouse
42011 4th St W, Lancaster, CA 93534
The adult criminal courthouse for the Antelope Valley, minutes from the jail. Once booking clears, the arraignment is calendared here, and a defendant still in custody is produced from custody rather than released to it.

The valley's juvenile and dependency court — a different building with a different function. No adult bail is posted there; do not confuse the two Lancaster courthouses.
