About the Twin Towers Correctional Facility
The Los Angeles Twin Towers Correctional Facility is a maximum security facility, located at 450 Bauchet Street, Los Angeles, CA 90012.

There are two main buildings on site: the Medical Services building, where facilities are provided to adequately provide care for inmates suffering from acute medical and mental health problems, and the Medical Center, which houses inmates that require severe health care services. The facility is operated by the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s department, and houses both maximum security inmates and mental health inmates.

How do I Post Bail for an Inmate at the Twin Towers Jail?
Bail (the amount of money a defendant must post in order to be released from Twin Towers Correctional Facility) can be posted in the form of cash, cashier’s check, money order or bail bond. Anyone can pay bail money on behalf of an inmate following their incarceration in the Twin Towers facility, and bail can be paid at any time, day or night, by visiting the L.A Inmate Reception Center (IRC), located in between the medical services building, and Medical Center Jail Ward.

Los Angeles, CA 90012
Cashier's Office (213) 893-5875
What happens once I have paid the bail money? - Once bail has been paid, the defendant will be released from Twin Towers Correctional Facility as soon as reasonably possible. If the defendant attends all their scheduled court appearances, the bail money will be returned at the end of the case. Should the defendant fail to appear in their court appearances, the money will be forfeited to the court.
What methods of paying bail are there? - If you elect to pay your bail in cash, you must pay the full amount. Once the payment is received, the inmate will be released from the Twin Towers Jail. Paying bail by Cashier’s check or Money order requires you to pay the entire amount. Only California bank-drawn cashier’s checks will be accepted, and must be made payable to the Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department. It is also essential that you include the inmate’s full name and booking number.
What if I can’t afford the bail? - If you don’t have the funds to pay for bail, you do have the option of posting a “Bail Bond”. A bail bond can be obtained from a bail bondsman/agent. The agent will charge a non-refundable 10% fee, regardless of whether the inmate attends all of their court hearings or not. If the inmate does not attend, you are liable for repaying the entire bail amount to the agent.
Bail bond agents can be found on the internet, in the phonebook, or in the local area surrounding the facility. Make sure you verify the bondsman's license and retain copies of any documents for your records.
What are Bail Bonds? - Consider using a bail bond if the full bail amount is too much for you to pay. Since it's only required to pay 10% of bail when using a bond, it's more affordable. If your loved one does not show up to court, you will loose the 10% bail and you will also have to pay back the other 90%. The 10% you pay to the bail bondsman is non refundable.
Once bail is posted, you should really schedule a free consultation with our attorney here. We will attempt to to reduce or eliminate the bail completely by requesting a bail hearing.
What are Property Bonds? - By using a property bond, you can use the value of your house to make bail. If the defendant doesn't show up to court, then you may loose your property. Property bonds are rarely used.
How long is the release process after bail is received? - Funds must be verified before the Twin Towers Correctional Facility will release an inmate. This means that the inmate's release may take a while. Arrests taking place at the weekend may take longer.
How do I find out how much the bail is? - Please visit our help center to view the Los Angeles County Felony and Misdemeanor bail schedules.
