Long Beach Jail Bail Bonds

Dan Nesser Answers Every Call, 24/7. Licensed Since 2000.

Long Beach Jail is operated by the Long Beach Police Department (LBPD), not the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department. It’s a Type 1 detention facility designed to hold individuals for up to 96 hours before release or transfer to a larger county facility such as Men’s Central Jail or Twin Towers, and it can also hold people who are serving short-term sentences. Acting quickly to secure someone's release at the city jail level can be faster and less complicated than bailing someone out after a transfer to county, which is why reaching a bondsman in Long Beach right away can make a real difference.

Dan Nesser at Dan's Bail Bonds personally answers calls 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Whether you’re calling at noon or 3 a.m., you speak directly with Dan, not a receptionist or on-call agent. He assists clients throughout Los Angeles County, including Long Beach, and can begin working on your case the moment you call.

If someone you care about has just been arrested and is at Long Beach Jail, don’t wait. Call (888) 773-8037 now and speak directly with Dan.

Posting Bail in Long Beach

Posting bail is how someone detained at Long Beach Jail gets released before their trial date. The bail process can feel overwhelming, especially when you’re already dealing with the stress of an unexpected arrest. Dan at Dan's Bail Bonds walks you through every step so you can make informed decisions without pressure. Read on for the details, or reach out directly to speak with Dan about your situation.

How to Post Bail in Long Beach

Bail is the amount set by the court to secure a release from custody and help ensure the defendant returns for their court date. If you can't post bail on your own, you can use a bail bond company. A bail bond company posts bail on your behalf in exchange for a non-refundable fee, typically 10% of the total. Missing a court date means the full bail amount may become due regardless of which method was used.

At Long Beach Jail, bail follows the Los Angeles County bail schedule, though a judge may adjust the amount at arraignment, which typically happens within two days of arrest. To locate someone who has just been arrested, families can check the LBPD inmate information page or call the jail directly for very recent bookings. 

If your loved one is detained at Long Beach Jail and you need to post bail, here’s how it works:

• Confirm Detention: Verify that the individual is being held and determine the bail amount.
• Understand the Charges: Find out the specific charges and how they affect the bail amount.
• Decide on Payment Method: Bail can be paid two ways.
  • Cash Bail: You pay the full amount directly to the court. It’s returned after the case closes.
  • Bail Bond: A bondsman posts the full amount for a non-refundable fee, typically 10% of the total.
• Work with a Bail Bondsman (if applicable): If you go the bond route, the steps are straightforward.
  • Pay the Fee: Provide the bondsman with the non-refundable premium.
  • Sign Agreement: Complete the required paperwork. Dan handles everything by phone and computer, so there’s no office visit required.
• Release from Jail: Once bail is posted, your loved one can be released from custody.
• Attend Court Hearings: Make sure all scheduled court dates are kept. If the defendant fails to appear, the full bail amount must be paid by the individual or the bondsman.

Dan walks clients through each of these steps at their own pace, without pressure, before any commitment is made. His goal is to make sure you understand exactly where you stand.

How Much Does Bail Cost?

Bail amounts in Long Beach are set according to the Los Angeles County bail schedule and vary based on the nature and severity of the charges. Factors like prior convictions, weapon involvement, or the age of the victim can all push the amount higher. Felony charges typically carry significantly higher bail than misdemeanors. A judge can raise or lower the amount at arraignment, making that hearing an important moment in the process.

In California, a bail bondsman’s premium is regulated by the California Department of Insurance at 10% of the total bail amount and is non-refundable, though lower rates may be available under certain conditions. Dan offers flexible payment options designed to work with a range of financial situations. He’ll also tell you honestly if posting bail isn’t the right call for your circumstances, because protecting your interests matters more to us than completing a transaction.
