California Jail & Court Finder

After a California arrest: find which jail is holding them, which courthouse hears the case, and when arraignment happens.

Find out which California jail is holding someone after an arrest, which courthouse will hear the case, and when arraignment has to happen. In the first hour after an arrest, the hardest question is not what bail costs. It is where is he, and who do I call? Enter the city where the arrest happened and this extension shows you: • The agency that books them first — city police department or sheriff's station, with the direct phone number • The county facility they are transferred to, and roughly how long that transfer takes • The courthouse and district that hears the case • Address and phone for each, with one-tap directions WHAT HAPPENS, AND WHEN It also lays out the timeline families get wrong most often — why someone can sit in custody for hours before appearing in any online search, and why California's 48-hour arraignment rule means a Friday night arrest often means a Tuesday hearing. WHAT THIS DOES NOT DO It does not search custody records. Los Angeles County requires a reCAPTCHA on every search, and Orange County now requires an account login — both deliberately. This extension links you to the official county system and gives you the direct phone line instead, which is usually the faster route anyway. PRIVACY Works offline. Collects no data. No account, no sign-up. Nothing you type ever leaves your computer. This is general public information about California jails and courts. It is not legal advice, and it does not report custody status. Facility assignments and court districts change — always confirm with the facility directly. Provided by JR's Bail Bonds.
