Serving Paramount · Open 24 Hours
Paramount
Bail Bonds
Paramount has no jail of its own. Arrests are handled by the Lakewood Sheriff's Station on N Clark Avenue — the same station that books Lakewood and Bellflower — then move into LA County custody downtown. We post at both, 24 hours a day. 10% premium, 1% down on approved credit.

Why Choose Midnight In Paramount
Licensed agents on every shift, honest answers about where your family member actually is, and financing built for families who didn't plan on an arrest this week.
The Same Station As Lakewood And Bellflower
Paramount, Lakewood, and Bellflower all book through the Lakewood Sheriff's Station at 5130 N Clark Ave. It's the same building, the same phone number, and the same custody clock for all three cities — so if you've been given a Lakewood address for a Paramount arrest, nothing has gone wrong.
24/7 Availability
A licensed agent answers the phone at 3 a.m. on a Sunday the same way we answer at 3 p.m. on a Wednesday. Paramount bookings do not wait for business hours, and neither do we.
Bilingual Agents
English and Spanish-speaking agents on every shift. Premium, cosigner obligations, and payment terms get explained in the language your family actually speaks.
No Collateral In Most Cases
Most bonds under $100,000 are written on a qualified signature alone — no property, no pink slip. Above that, collateral may be requested depending on the charge and how the cosigner qualifies.
Affordable Payment Plans
California fixes the premium at 10% of the bail. The down payment is what flexes — as low as 1% on approved credit, with the balance on a written plan.
Licensed & Accountable
California License #1846101, with a staffed office at 965 N Vignes St #5, Los Angeles, CA 90012 covering Paramount — a real office with real agents, not a national call center routing your case to a stranger.
How Bail Bonds Work In Paramount
Paramount is a contract city: the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department polices it, so custody runs through a Sheriff's station rather than a city jail.
Arrest & Booking In Lakewood
Paramount arrests are processed at the Lakewood Sheriff's Station, 5130 N Clark Ave in Lakewood, which is staffed 24 hours. Fingerprints, photo, and record checks have to clear before a bond can post — usually a few hours, longer on weekend nights.
Bail Set From The County Schedule
Bail comes from the Los Angeles County Superior Court felony and misdemeanor bail schedule, the same figures used county-wide. We confirm the charge and read back the exact premium before anything is signed.
Call Midnight — We Confirm Where They Are
Call (213) 295-7796 with a full legal name and date of birth. We check the Paramount city booking and the LA County system, tell you where they are right now, and read back the exact bail amount and premium before you pay anything.
Qualification & Approval
A short cosigner conversation — employment, residence, and how the balance gets paid. Most approvals take minutes, and most Paramount bonds require no collateral.
Bond Posted Where They Actually Are
We post at the facility holding the defendant, whether that's the city jail or a downtown county facility after transfer. Release from a municipal jail is usually faster; Twin Towers and the Inmate Reception Center run a processing queue that can take several hours, longer on weekends.
Payment Plan Begins
The remaining premium is paid on the written schedule agreed up front. No surprise fees, and we remind you of every court date so the bond stays in good standing.
Bail amounts for Paramount arrests come from the Los Angeles Superior Court felony and misdemeanor bail schedule, the same county-wide schedule used for every other city in Los Angeles County.

What Bail Bonds Cost In Paramount
The premium is fixed by California law. The down payment is where we can help.
The Premium Is 10% — By Law
Bail premium rates in California are filed with and approved by the Department of Insurance under Cal. Ins. Code §1800. A bondsman quoting a Paramount family less than the filed 10% premium as the total cost is quoting something they can't legally deliver.
The Premium Is Earned, Not Refundable
Once the bond is posted the premium is earned in full — whether the case is dismissed at arraignment or runs two years. That's the price of the surety, not a deposit held against the bail.
The Down Payment Is What's Negotiable
Down payments start as low as 1% of the bail on approved credit. The remainder of the 10% premium is financed on a written plan with fixed installments you agree to before signing.
Collateral Isn't Usually Required
Most Paramount bonds under $100,000 are written on a qualified cosigner's signature. Larger bonds may call for collateral depending on the charge and the cosigner's file.
| Bail Amount | 10% Premium | Down At 1% |
|---|---|---|
| $20,000 | $2,000 | $200 |
| $50,000 | $5,000 | $500 |
| $100,000 | $10,000 | $1,000 |
The 1% figure is a down payment on approved credit, not a discounted premium — the full 10% is still owed on the payment plan. For the full 1% through 10% tier comparison and who qualifies for each, see affordable bail bonds.
Paramount Jails We Serve
Paramount custody starts in Lakewood, not Paramount. Holds past the short window continue into the LA County facilities downtown, so families should expect to track a booking across two locations.
Lakewood Sheriff's Station
5130 N Clark Ave, Lakewood, CA 90712
(562) 623-3500
Staffed 24 hours and handles booking and short custody for Paramount, Lakewood, and Bellflower alike. Longer holds transfer into the LA County system — Twin Towers or Men's Central for men, Century Regional in Lynwood for women.
Where Paramount Arrestees Transfer
Twin Towers Correctional Facility
450 Bauchet St, Los Angeles, CA 90012
Downtown county intake plus medical and mental-health housing. The most common destination for anyone held beyond a short municipal stay.
Men's Central Jail
441 Bauchet St, Los Angeles, CA 90012
Adjacent to Twin Towers; houses much of the county's male population after intake processing.
Century Regional Detention Facility
11705 S Alameda St, Lynwood, CA 90262
The county's primary women's facility — where women transferred out of a city jail are housed.
What We Need When You Call
Have these ready and we can locate the booking — city jail or county — and quote the premium on the first call.
Defendant's Full Legal Name
First, middle, and last as it appears on their ID. Nicknames slow the jail search.
Date of Birth
Prevents confusion when multiple people share the same name in the booking system.
City or County of Arrest
Tells us which jail to check first — Riverside, San Bernardino, LA, Orange, or San Diego.
Booking Number (If Available)
Not required, but if you have it, it speeds up locating the record considerably.
Cosigner Contact Info
Cosigner's name, phone, employer, and general credit range — this is what determines your financing terms.
Your Relationship to the Defendant
Family, friend, or coworker — helps us know who to loop in on updates and paperwork.
Most Common Bail Charges In Paramount
Bail is set by the Los Angeles County Superior Court schedule, not by the city — so a Paramount booking starts from the same figures as one anywhere else in the county. The ranges below are county schedule ranges, not city-specific numbers.
DUI
County schedule range: $5,000 – $100,000
A first misdemeanor DUI sits at the low end of the schedule and can sometimes release on citation. Priors, injury, or a high BAC push the amount up fast.
View PageDomestic Violence
County schedule range: $50,000 – $100,000
Corporal injury filings book high and usually come with a protective order at arraignment. Release conditions matter as much as the bond — we walk cosigners through both before anything is signed.
View PageDrug Possession & Sale
County schedule range: $10,000 – $100,000+
Simple possession books low and often qualifies for diversion. Possession for sale and transportation book far higher, and weight or priors move the number quickly.
View PageAssault & Battery
PC §240 / §245(a)(1)
County schedule range: $25,000 – $50,000
Simple battery books at the low end. Assault with a deadly weapon is a strike-eligible felony and books substantially higher, often with additional enhancements filed.
View PageTheft & Burglary
PC §484/§487 and PC §459
County schedule range: $20,000 – $50,000
Petty theft books low; grand theft and first-degree residential burglary book substantially higher and carry felony jail or prison exposure. Burglary has its own dedicated page on this site.
View PageAbout Paramount
Paramount is a southeast Los Angeles County city bordered by Bellflower, Downey, Compton, Lakewood, and Long Beach, with the 710 and 105 close by. It contracts with the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department instead of running its own police force and jail.
The practical consequence is straightforward and worth stating plainly: Paramount shares the Lakewood Sheriff's Station with Lakewood and Bellflower. Three cities, one booking counter. A family calling about a Paramount arrest and a family calling about a Bellflower arrest are calling the same building at (562) 623-3500.
Paramount cases are filed in the Los Angeles County Superior Court and bail is set from the county-wide schedule. Courthouse assignment depends on the filing, so rather than name one here we'll confirm what applies to your case and point you to the court's own information.
