Sheriff Lee Baca may decide to close off the older portion of the Men’s Central Jail in Los Angeles County. This part of the jail has been troubled by inmate killings, poor supervision and guards using excessive force.
The older section of the jail was built in 1963 and contains the older-style of long rows of jail cells that makes it more difficult to supervise inmates and jailers. The proposed plan is to move approximately 1,800 inmates to the Lynwood jail facility. Among them are some of the most violent offenders in the county. At this time, the Lynwood jail houses only female inmates.
In March 2006, CRDF officially re-opened Lynwood jail to be utilized as an all female jail facility. CRDF will continue to provide a booking center at Lynwood jail for Century Station, Compton Sheriff’s Station and for all female prisoners.
Instead of the antiquated rows of cells, Lynwood jail allows to have inmates in the more modern circular cell configuration with a security booth in the center. This will enable deputies to better-supervise the inmates without having to walk down long rows of cells to see what they are doing.
Right now, the Men’s Central Jail houses nearly 4,500 inmates, making it one of the largest detention facilities in the world. The third floor, also called the 3000 floor, keeps the county’s most dangerous inmates, including gang leaders and killers.

While television crime shows make it look like a criminal will immediately go to jail, the process of trying a criminal case is much more complicated. From arrest and posting bail to going to trial and sentencing, there are many legal procedures that the accused will have to go through.
Below is a guide to the stages of a criminal case:
Arrest and booking:
Whether they are taken by force or voluntarily, anyone who is under police custody is arrested and brought into jail. While the accused is booked or cited, a pretrial or probation officer will gather information about the alleged crime. This information will be used by a judge to decide if the accused can be allowed out of custody before the trial by posting bail and agreeing to appear at a set date.
Arraignment:
A judge will read the official charges against the accused as well as their rights to an attorney. During arraignment, bail may be changed or the accused may be released on their “own recognizance.” Arraignment is also the time when the accused enters their plea of guilty or not guilty. If he or she agrees to a plea bargain, then the charges may be lessened or dropped for an admission of guilt. If the accused maintains their innocence, then they may be taken to trial.
Motions, Hearings, and Trial:
Both the prosecution and the defense will hold a series of motions and hearings that will determine which evidence and witnesses will be allowed in court. At trial, the prosecution will have to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the accused has committed the crime they are being held for. A judge or a jury will make the final decision.
Sentencing:
If the jury or the judge finds the accused to be guilty, then sentencing will occur. Depending on the crime, prior criminal record, and a person’s living condition, the court will determine a suitable sentence. Sentences can include jail time, the payment of fines, or even counseling and community service.
If a judge allows the accused to post bail, then they will be granted freedom as long as they agree to appear in court when told.

If you or a loved one has been arrested, then a judge will determine how much your bail will be. But once that is done, how do you post bail? This video from Howcast.com explains.
The cheapest and quickest way to post bail is to pay the court in cash. This money will be returned to you when the case is over. But if you don’t have the cash, then you need to contact a company that supplies bail bonds. Many will charge you 10% of the bail amount, but they will then pay the full bail amount to the court. However, the 10% fee is a payment, so you won’t always get it back.
Some bondsmen may require some collateral or require a friend to co-sign a bail contract. But as long as you show up in court when you are required to, the property will be returned to you.
Here at Bail Hotline, we’ll work closely with you to come up with the payment plan that suits you. Collateral is not always required, and you may be eligible for a lower premium. Contact us today for more information. (888) GET-BAIL

Posting bail after an arrest is setting up an agreement between the accused and the courts. They pay a determined amount of money in exchange for freedom and the guarantee that they will return to court when they are ordered to. And while not everyone can afford to post bail right away, there are still options.
Here’s what to do if you can’t afford to post bail:
