Why Choose Midnight In Whittier
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.
Seventy-Two Hours Is The Whole Window
The Whittier Jail is a Type I facility with a 72-hour hold limit. It's staffed around the clock every day of the year, so a bond can be posted at any hour — but past that window the defendant is transferred to Twin Towers or Men's Central for men, or Century Regional in Lynwood for women. That clock is the single most useful thing to know on the first call, and it's why we confirm the booking time before anything else.
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. Whittier 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 Whittier — a real office with real agents, not a national call center routing your case to a stranger.
How Bail Bonds Work In Whittier
Whittier follows the standard Los Angeles County sequence with one hard limit: the city jail is Type I and holds for no more than 72 hours before custody moves into the county system.
Arrest & Booking At The Whittier Jail
Whittier Police book at 13200 Penn St. The jail is staffed 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, so fingerprints, photo, and record checks clear at any hour — and so does a bond. It also receives arrestees from neighboring Santa Fe Springs, not only Whittier.
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 Whittier 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 Whittier 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 Whittier 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 Whittier
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 Whittier 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 Whittier 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.
Whittier Jails We Serve
Whittier arrests — and Santa Fe Springs arrests — start at the Type I jail on Penn Street. Because the hold limit is 72 hours, families should be ready for a move into the downtown county facilities and should track both.
Whittier Jail (Whittier Police Department)
13200 Penn St, Whittier, CA 90602
(562) 567-9200
A Type I facility staffed 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, with a 72-hour hold limit. Beyond that, custody transfers to Twin Towers or Men's Central for men, or Century Regional in Lynwood for women. The jail also books arrestees from the Santa Fe Springs Police Department.
Where Whittier 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

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 Whittier
Bail is set by the Los Angeles County Superior Court schedule, not by the city — so a Whittier 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 Whittier
Whittier sits where southeast Los Angeles County meets the San Gabriel Valley, in the Puente Hills foothills, bordered by Santa Fe Springs, La Mirada, Pico Rivera, and unincorporated county areas. It runs its own police department and its own jail on Penn Street rather than contracting with the Sheriff's Department.
One fact about that jail matters more than most families expect: it doesn't only serve Whittier. Arrestees taken in by the Santa Fe Springs Police Department are booked at the Whittier facility as well. If your family member was arrested in Santa Fe Springs, Penn Street is a real place to check — and we'll confirm it on the call rather than guess.
Whittier cases are filed in the Los Angeles County Superior Court system with bail set from the county-wide schedule. Courthouse assignment depends on the filing and on which department the case is sent to, so rather than name one here we'll confirm what we can for your case and point you to the court's own information.
Whittier cases are commonly heard at the Whittier Courthouse at 7339 S Painter Ave, which serves Whittier and the surrounding Southeast District communities.
