Long Beach
Bail Bonds

Long Beach City Jail is a Type I facility, which means it can hold a non-sentenced arrestee for a maximum of 96 hours. In practice most people are moved into the Los Angeles County system well before that — often within a day or two of booking. If bail is posted while they're still at the city jail, the transfer never happens at all.

Either Long Beach City Jail at 400 W Broadway, or an LA County facility after transfer — usually Twin Towers or Men's Central Jail for men, and Century Regional Detention Facility in Lynwood for women. Give us a full legal name and date of birth and we'll check both systems and tell you exactly where they are right now.

No — we don't have a Long Beach location, and we won't pretend otherwise. We serve Long Beach from our staffed downtown Los Angeles office at 965 N Vignes St #5, Los Angeles, CA 90012, roughly twenty-five minutes up the 710. Our agents post at Long Beach City Jail and at the Bauchet Street county facilities where Long Beach arrestees transfer, so coverage is full either way.

Yes, and it's usually the faster outcome. If the bond is posted while the defendant is still held at Long Beach City Jail, they're released from there and never enter the county intake queue. Once someone is moved to Twin Towers or the Inmate Reception Center, release processing takes longer.

No. Bail is set from the Los Angeles County Superior Court felony and misdemeanor bail schedule, which applies county-wide. A DUI booked in Long Beach starts from the same schedule figure as a DUI booked downtown. What changes city to city is the facility and the timeline, not the number.

Usually not. Most bonds under $100,000 are written on a qualified cosigner's signature alone. Above that threshold, collateral may be requested depending on the charge, the bail amount, and how the cosigner qualifies.

Yes. A licensed agent answers (213) 295-7796 every hour of every day, weekends and holidays included, and we post overnight at both the city jail and the downtown county facilities.

The judge can forfeit the bond and issue a bench warrant. There's a statutory window to bring the defendant back before the forfeiture becomes a judgment against the cosigner — call us the same day it happens, because that window is the difference between a fixable problem and a financial one.

The premium is 10% of the bail. The down payment is what varies — qualified clients start as low as 1% down on approved credit, with the balance on a written payment plan. On a $50,000 bail that's a $5,000 premium and a $500 down payment at the 1% tier.
