Los Angeles County Jail Bonds

Transfer to the downtown Los Angeles County Jail facility can result in a considerably longer release process because of the time to physically move the defendant as well as the processing, paperwork and computer updates required to put them in the jail system. The county jail can often take up to 24 hours to get an inmate released on a Los Angeles County bail bond. At Ernie Lopez Bail Bonds, our experience has led us to recommend that you do everything you can to secure release prior to being transferred downtown.
