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.

Emily Ajar
Dan truly cares
I called in panic long distance from Florida about my son, not knowing what had happened between my son and his partner. 😞 Dan was so amazing at calming me down and reassuring me that he would look into our situation. Dan texted me shortly after our conversation to let me know that the police department lines were busy and to reassure me that he was handling it. I found out during this time that the 'partner' had set bail with another bondsman earlier this morning. I would highly recommend this man who is obviously more than a 'business'; he truly cares and I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart. I would never go to Cali, much less find myself arrested... But if I did, DAN would be the man I would call! Thank you, sir. 🥰 Angelique Thompson
Angel Thompson

A genuinely nice guy
Dan is a professional and the most knowledgeable person in this scope of work. I am so thankful to have come across his website on Google because he turned a bad situation into a great experience with his insight and advice. I highly recommend him as a bail bondsman. His help throughout this process has become invaluable to my family and me. From the beginning, he was very clear and helpful in providing a time frame of when to expect our family member to be released. We were able to keep communication with Dan from the release date to the court date. Honestly, you’re guaranteed communication from the beginning to end with Dan. He makes himself reachable at all hours of the day. Overall, he is a genuinely nice guy.
Maria Martinez
Highly will recommend this guy
Dan, My call went from asking for your bail bond services then you relating back to us my uncle had NO bail as we didn't know so much of his whereabouts. Therefore you could've just ended the call since my uncle didn't have BAIL but you didn't. You kept your promise and said you would help us get more details on my uncle's case/jail status and you sure did. You went above and beyond to get our family more information on my uncle's arrest and sentencing without hiring your services. We want to thank you for your dedication, hard work, and attention to detail as people like you will not go unnoticed. Highly will recommend this guy and his bail bond services. Thank you once again, Dan. Best, Sandy

Dan definitely deserves it
I normally don’t make reviews, but Dan definitely deserves it. No one ever wants to need a bail bondsman or thinks they will ever need one. Life happens, though, and sometimes you need a bail bondsman. I am so grateful that we found Dan to help us navigate through an already difficult time. He was very knowledgeable and helpful. He answered all our many questions with so much patience. He was honest and really put us at ease. If you ever need a bail bondsman, Dan is the man for the job.
