Santa Clarita Bail Bonds Process

The most common form of initial contact with a Santa Clarita Bail Bonds Company is through a phone call from either a family member or the inmate themselves. Inmates at the Santa Clarita Jail are allowed to make collect calls from their cells.  Initially the Santa Clarita Bail Bonds Company will gather basic information such as name and contact numbers for possible cosigners for the Bail Bond agreement.  One of our Licensed Bail Bonds Agents will ask a number of questions to evaluate the risk of having the inmate released on a Bail Bond.  Every Bond is evaluated on a case by case basis. Questions can include the defendants past criminal record, employment and residence history for both the inmate and the cosigner/s.  This is a Bail industry standard, so expect this regardless of what Bail Bonds Company you use.  Once the Bail Bond is approved, the client will be asked to sign Bail Bond documentation that can also be completed via fax or email.  Once the paperwork is completed, our Licensed Bail Bonds Agent will take the necessary paperwork to the Santa Clarita Jail to "post the Bail Bond". The entire Bail Bond Process in Santa Clarita Station Jail can take approximately 1-2 hours.

What Will be the Bail Bond Cost?

California Bail Law mandates that the Bail Bond fee charged is 10% of the total Bail Amount. (for example, the total Bail Amount is $10,000, your cost should be 10% which is $1,000.) There are a few exceptions where Bail Bond Companies are allowed to charge a discounted rate of 8% of the total Bail Bond Amount.  These exceptions include:

• Clients that are represented by a Private Attorney
• Active Union Members
• Active Military personnel & Veterans
• AARP Members

Be careful of anyone offering a lower amount, for paying anything less for a Bail Bond is illegal, and can get your loved one back in custody and  leave you out of your money!

There are many legal alternatives.  We provide 0% interest financing, with affordable plans that fit all budgets.

The Santa Clarita Sheriff's Jail Booking Process

When a person is arrested at the Santa Clarita Sheriff's Jail, there is a process that must be completed before a Bail Bondsman can post a Bail Bond on behave of the inmate.  This process is commonly known as "Booking Process".  Once a person is arrested and placed in custody of the Santa Clarita Jail, the Jailer will take inventory of the arrestee's belongings as he/she searches for weapons, drugs, paraphernalia or any other threats. Then the Jailer will fingerprint and run a background check on the individual to ensure that there isn't any outstanding warrants or possible probation / parole holds.  The fingerprints are tracked through the "Live Scan" system, which will check / update local, state and federal databases.  This process can take several hours depending on the workload the Jailers are experiencing at the time.  At this point some Jails will allow the inmate to make a phone call prior to being assigned to a cell; other Jails have phones within the cells.  Some inmates will try to contact a Bail Bonds Company directly (we take collect calls); others will contact a family member or loved one first.  Whichever way it may be, the faster Bail Bonds Santa Clarita. Com is contacted the faster we can start the Bail Bond Process.  Also the results for the criminal background/ warrant check can take several hours and must be completed in order for a Bail Bonds Agent to be allowed to post Bail.

Santa Clarita Sheriff's Jail Visitation Hours

The Santa Clarita sheriff's Jail allows inmates to receive a 15 minute visit limited to 1 adult and 2 children. The visiting schedule at the Santa Clarita Sheriff's Jail is (10am – 2:00pm) every day.  Children are required to be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian.  The Santa Clarita Station Jail requires all visitors to show a valid government issued photo identification.  It is recommended to show up as early as possible, accommodations are on a first come, first serve basis; and can be delayed if the Jail deputy’s workload is elevated.  All visitors at the Santa Clarita Sheriff's Jail are subject to search and will be arrested if any warrants, illegal Drugs or weapons are found by the Jail Deputy.

Options for Release

A Bail Bond is not the only option for release from the Santa Clarita Station Jail. There are several options for the release of an inmate. These options include:

• Bail Bond - A written promise signed by a defendant or a surety (one who promises to act in      place of another) to pay an amount fixed by a court should the defendant named in the document fail to appear in court for the designated criminal proceeding at the date and time specified.

• Cash Bail - Requires payment of the full Bail Amount. The inmate will be released if he/she is    clear for Bail, and will be reimbursed once he/she has appeared to all required court dates. This is a good alternative for those who have a very minimal Bail amount. Cash Bail can be posted for large amounts as long as the payee is able to source the money and willing to have the money tied up for the long periods of time.  Money is sourced to ensure that it wasn't obtained through illegal means.

• Property Bonds- As the name indicates, this option involves real estate. The process can take   several weeks and is similar to a real estate transaction. The property must have at least 150% of the Bail Amount in equity.  There are fees involved, check with your local authorities for    specific fees.  With this option, the court can foreclose the property if the defendant fails to appear to all mandated court dates.

• "CITE OUT"- This is when a person is arrested, then released after being issued a citation that   states the date he/she must return to court.  Very common for traffic violations and minor infractions.  If the defendant fails to appear in court, the defendant will most likely be issued a warrant. 

• Own Recognizance (O.R.) - Only a judge can grant a defendant to be released on "O.R.". The defendant is released with a written promise that he / she will attend all required court dates. There are several factors that a judge usually takes into consideration when releasing a inmate on O.R. These factors include the severity of the crime, the individuals criminal history, current employment, ties with family/local community, and the overall likeliness that the individual will flee. O.R. is not guaranteed even if the defendant satisfies all of these factors.

Santa Clarita Station Jail Release Process

There is also a process that must occur prior to a person is being released.  Like the Booking Process, this process can vary depending on the workload each Jail or Sheriff / Police Station has.  Smaller Sheriff / Police Stations can take only a few minutes, while larger Jails (like LA County) can take several hours before releasing an individual.  The Santa Clarita Station Jail usually takes anywhere from 30 minutes - 1 hour to release an inmate after posting the Bail Bond.  Once an individual is released he/she can claim personal property, and go home.

Our current Sheriff's Station is manned by over 140 Deputy Sheriff's.

About Santa Clarita, CA

Santa Clarita is the fourth largest city in Los Angeles County, California, United States and the twenty-sixth largest city in the State of California. The California Department of Finance estimated the city population as of January 1, 2010 at 177,641. Including unincorporated areas of the Santa Clarita Valley, the population is estimated at over 275,000. It is located about 35 miles (56 km) northwest of downtown Los Angeles, and occupies most of the Santa Clarita Valley. It is a notable example of a U.S. edge city or boomburb. The FBI rates it as the sixth safest city in the United States with at least 100,000 inhabitants. (Nearby Simi Valley and Thousand Oaks, in Ventura County, traditionally alternate between the first and second spots on the list.) Santa Clarita was ranked as number 18 of the top 100 places to live by Money magazine in 2006.

Santa Clarita was incorporated in 1987 as the union of several previously existing communities, including Canyon Country, Newhall, Saugus, and Valencia, all of which are the land of the former Rancho San Francisco. Its principal boundaries are the Golden State (I-5) and Antelope Valley (SR-14) freeways; their merger in Newhall Pass at the city's southernmost point gives Santa Clarita its distinctive triangular appearance on the map.
