Those arrested in the Carson locality are typically transported to the Carson jail. Upon arrival, the arrestees are searched, fingerprinted, photographed and further processed until booking is complete (this takes approximately 5 hours).

Those with medical or psychological issues may be transported to the main county jail in downtown Los Angeles for further evaluation.

CARSON BAIL BONDS

Eligible detainees will have bail set by jail staff that reviews a "bail schedule" to determine the appropriate bail amount. Be prepared that the average bail for Carson is $20,000.

Once bail has been determined, the detainee can have bail "posted".

Bail can be accomplished in 2 different ways:

1) Those acting on behalf of the defendant can post the entire bail amount with the jail. By doing so, they will have the entire amount refunded upon completion of the defendant's case;

2) Utilizing bail bondsmen, a 10% non-refundable fee is paid to the bail bond company.

If you have access to funds you may choose to post the bail without a bondsman. Be aware, however, that you will not receive your money back until the case has come to conclusion. While this may be a short time, many cases last a year or more. If the defendant is sentence to community service or fines, your money will be held until all aspects of the sentence have been completed.

All bail companies are legally compelled to charge the same premium. However, the level of customer service can vary.
