When a person is initially arrested and taken into custody the procedure is pretty much the same every time. They’re taken to the local police or sheriff’s station, put through booking and processing, and then held until bailed out or transferred. Most police and sheriff’s station jails are small and not designed for the long-term holding of large numbers of inmates. As a result, if the local jail becomes overcrowded, or an inmate has remained on-site for about 72-hours, they’ll be transferred to one of the larger jails in downtown Los Angeles: Twin Towers, Men’s Central and the Lynwood Jail (for females).

Bailing someone out of Men’s Central Jail in Los Angeles is going to take longer than it would at a local police station jail. Men’s Central is the largest jail in the world and holds up to 5,000 inmates at any one time. Some of those inmates have been sentenced already, and others are considered high-security; the rest are pre-trial inmates.

When you want to bail someone out of Men’s Central Jail, the earlier you call a bail bondsman – the better. Upon being transferred, inmates will need to be processed in at the new location. With the jail being so large and so busy, this period can be anywhere from 12 to 24 hours long, and the inmate will not be eligible for bail until it’s complete.

Just because an inmate is temporarily ineligible for bail during this period doesn’t mean that you can’t still get the bail bond process started. Once a bail bond is posted, the inmate will need to be processed out of the jail, and like being processed in, it can take several hours to do so. The sooner the bail bond is posted, the sooner the process can begin.

Bailing someone out of Men’s Central Jail in Los Angeles is a lot easier with a licensed, professional bail bondsman helping you out. If you have further questions regarding bail bonds or bailing someone out of jail, give us a call anytime 24/7 at 877-422-4951.
