LASD Inmate Locator
Temple City contracts with the LASD to service their law enforcement needs. Those who are arrested in the area will be taken to the Temple City Station where they will undergo the booking and processing procedure.
The station is pretty small, and so is the jail. As such, once an inmate has finished being booked and processed, he or she can expect to spend no more than 72 hours at the station before they are transferred to one of the larger holding facilities in downtown Los Angeles. Men are taken to Twin Towers, while women are usually transferred to the Lynwood Jail.
Being transferred to one of these larger facilities will likely result in increased time in custody, as they must wait to be “processed in” at the new, much busier location. In order to avoid the transfer, it’s usually best to try and get the bail bond application process started while the inmate is still located at the Temple City Station.
Booking and Processing
Booking and processing is the procedure in which an arrestee has their fingerprints recorded, photograph taken and a national background check conducted. Once it’s complete, bail will be set for those who are eligible if they are not granted one of the alternate options for release. At the Temple City Station, booking and processing can take anywhere from 45 minutes to a few hours, depending on how busy the place is. However, when an inmate is transferred to one of the larger downtown Los Angeles jails, they can expect the processing procedure there to take anywhere from 12-24 hours.
Options for Release
One someone is arrested, it is possible to be granted one of several options for release.
- O.R. – otherwise known as “Own Recognizance,” O.R. means that the judge will grant a defendant their release from custody if they are willing to provide a written promise to return to court at the appointed date and time.
- Cited Out – Reserved usually for minor traffic violations and infractions. When someone is cited out, it is similar to being released on O.R., but they do not need to provide a written promise to return for their court date. A verbal promise is enough.
- Cash Bonds – It is not required to work with a bail bondsman in order to bail someone out of jail. It’s possible to pay the full amount of bail to the court and secure the release of an inmate. This is known as a cash bond.
- Property Bonds – If an individual does not have cash in the amount of bail, property can be used as collateral instead. The person putting up the piece of property must own equity in it worth at least 150% of the bail amount.
The Bail Bond Process
While there is more than one way to get someone released from jail, bail bonds are by far the most common. The process begins by giving us a call and providing the name, birth date and date and time of arrest of the inmate.
We will use the information to find him or her within the jail system and verify their eligibility for bail. After that, we have you fill out the short, simple bail bond application forms and indemnitor’s agreement and that’s it! We will dispatch one of our agents to the jail and your friend or loved one will be released a little while later.
If you aren’t in the area, or it’s more convenient for you to remain at your home or office, we can complete the entire process via fax or email.
The Cost of a Bail Bond
One of the reasons that bail bonds are one of the most popular methods to get someone out of jail is undoubtedly the cost. Paying a cash bond requires that you pay 100% of the bail cost to the court clerk, and a property bond requires that you put up a piece of property as collateral.
In California, the cost of a bail bond is set at 10% of the total bail amount. So, if the total amount of bail is $15,000, then the cost of a bail bond will be $1,500.
When you work with us, rest assured that we include no additional charges or fees, and if you choose to finance your bail bond, you will not pay any interest.
