Orange County Jails & Detention Centers

In Orange County, individuals arrested are typically processed at one of the following facilities:

  • Central Men’s Jail: Located at 550 N. Flower Street in Santa Ana, this facility houses about 1,428 inmates and includes a dedicated courtroom for arraignments (CJ1). It serves sentenced and pre-trial maximum security inmates.
  • Central Women’s Jail: This facility is built to accommodate approximately 386 female inmates and is also situated within the Central Jail Complex in Santa Ana, which opened in November of 1968.
  • Theo Lacy Facility: This maximum security complex is located on the banks of the Santa Ana River in Orange, CA, spanning 11 acres with a capacity for 3,442 inmates. It handles both misdemeanors and felonies.
  • Santa Ana Jail: Along with Theo Lacy, the Santa Ana City Jail is one of the primary intake facilities for new arrests.
  • Intake Release Center (IRC): This facility processes all bookings and releases within the Orange County jail system and offers long-term housing with more than 800 beds for both male and female inmates.

You can visit the Orange County Sheriff's Department website to get inmate information.

How Bail Works in Orange County

When someone is arrested in Orange County, bail may be set based on a predetermined schedule, or the judge will set bail at the arraignment based on the severity of the alleged crime, the potential flight risk, and any criminal history. 

There are two primary options to secure release:

  • Bail Bonds: This is the most common method due to financial accessibility. An Orange County bail bond company will post the full bail amount for a fee, typically about 10% of the total bail, to ensure release without the full upfront cost.
  • Cash Bail: This requires the full bail amount to be paid directly to the court. It's set no lower than $500, and while it's refundable if the defendant attends all court appearances, it will be forfeited if they fail to appear.

In some cases, a defendant may be released on their own recognizance, which means they do not need to post bail.

If you are posting bail for someone in Orange County, you will need to go to the Orange County Sheriff’s Office. They will have a list of bail prices for each person who is in custody. You will need to pay the full amount of the bail to get the person released. You can pay with cash, credit, or debit. If paying in cash, it must be the exact amount.

To pay bail, you will need to provide the following information: 

  • Full name of the person in custody
  • Date of birth
  • Jail location or department number
  • Bail amount
  • Payment 

Once you have provided all of the necessary information, you will be able to pay the bail and get the person released.

Dan took total control
Being woken up at 3:00 AM by a call from "Inmate Services" is a feeling I never want to experience again. My brother-in-law was in custody, panicked, and completely lost. After a quick search, I found Dan’s Bail Bonds. Even though it was the middle of the night, I didn't get an answering service—I got Dan himself. From that first 3:15 AM call, Dan took total control of a chaotic situation. He is incredibly knowledgeable and walked us through every step so we were never in the dark. What truly blew me away was his communication; he was texting me and my mother-in-law every 20–30 minutes with updates from the jail for hours. He treats this profession with a rare level of compassion and genuine care for families in crisis. While I hope to never need a bondsman again, Dan is the only person I would ever call. Our family is beyond grateful.

You Should Call Dan
When my back was up against a wall at 10 p.m. on a Tuesday I couldn't have gotten anybody better on the phone. Dan wasn't trying to trick me into retaining him. He was straight up and factual at a time when that is exactly what I needed. Trust me when I say that you should call Dan!
Tom Gaither
Dan is truly honorable and someone you can trust.
My dad had an issue with the law, and while looking for bail bonds I found Dan. I called him, and he was incredibly kind, answered all my questions, and walked me through the process. Before I did anything, he told me he wanted to verify something and would call me back. He kept his word and called me shortly after to let me know I should wait because the judge might post no bail. Another company I spoke with was pressuring me to bail my dad out that same night and even offered me a discount to try to get me to move forward. Dan did the opposite and gave me honest advice. The judge ended up posting no bail, and thanks to Dan’s guidance I saved a lot of money. He even checked in with me afterward to make sure everything worked out, even though I never used his services. Dan is truly honorable and someone you can trust. I’m very grateful for his help and would absolutely recommend him. Thanks Dan!
