Facility Overview
The Pasadena City Jail operates at 207 N Garfield Ave, Pasadena, CA 91101, in downtown Pasadena, in the civic center off Garfield Avenue. It is a municipal booking and short-hold facility rather than a place where anyone serves time.
It books and briefly holds arrests made in Pasadena, the largest city in the western foothills — identification, fingerprints, warrant checks, and a cell for the hours between an arrest and either a bail release or a transfer into Los Angeles County custody.
Pasadena is one of the tidiest pairings in the county: the jail sits on Garfield Avenue and the courthouse on Walnut Street, blocks apart, with the courthouse's official jurisdiction covering Pasadena along with Altadena, Arcadia, Monrovia and Sierra Madre.
No case is heard at the jail address, and no bail is accepted at a court counter. The bond always goes to the facility physically holding the defendant.

Hours & Visiting
Visiting runs on a scheduled, restricted calendar. Bail posting at Pasadena 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 |
|---|---|
| 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 |
Jail hours and court hours are separate systems. The Pasadena Courthouse keeps weekday business hours; a bond is accepted at this facility overnight, on weekends, and on holidays.
Booking has to clear before anything posts. That is the usual reason a family is told to wait after an arrest.
Transfers run on the Sheriff's schedule, not on request. Once one leaves, the release point moves.
Visiting arrangements at a municipal facility are limited and change often — call (626) 744-4501 before driving out.

Booking & Custody Process
From a Pasadena arrest to a release on North Garfield Avenue.
Arrest And Transport
The arrestee is brought to 207 N Garfield Ave, Pasadena, CA 91101, 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 immediately.
Local Posting Window
Posting while Pasadena Police Department still holds custody produces a release from this building, usually 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 Detention Facility in Lynwood.
Release Or Court Transport
A bailed defendant leaves with a court date printed on the release paperwork. A defendant still in custody is transported to the Pasadena Courthouse for arraignment and returned afterward.
How To Post Bail At Pasadena 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 Pasadena arrest is set at booking under the county schedule. No hearing is required and no courtroom has to be open, which is why a bond can be written at three in the morning.
Where the bond lands decides the wait. Posted here, it is a quick local release; posted after a county transfer, it runs through the far slower downtown discharge process instead.
Arraignment at the Pasadena Courthouse 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.
Under Cal. Ins. Code §1800, a licensed bail agent is the party authorized to post a surety bond on a defendant's behalf. 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 Pasadena 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.
