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.
