Newport Beach Jail

What information should I prepare before calling a bail bondsman?

If you’ve been asked to seek our assistance by a loved one who has been arrested, it’s critical that you obtain as much information as possible about the individual who has been detained.

Before moving on to the next step, our bail bondsman will need certain information, so make sure you have it before calling us. Here are some of the information that our bail bondsman need:

• Where the person is being held
• Full name of the person who has been arrested
• The arrested person’s booking number
• What the person is being charged with

What is a bail bond?

It’s a monetary deposit submitted to the court to guarantee the defendant’s temporary release from the Newport Beach Jail. The defendant must attend all court appearances once he/she is released from jail as a condition of his/her release.

There are two types of bail bonds: Civil bail bonds and criminal bail bonds.

Civil bail bonds are required during civil lawsuits. The bail bondsman will post bail for the defendant who is under civil arrest. This type of bond will be used to ensure that the defendant’s debt is paid.

Criminal bail bonds, on the other hand, are required during criminal cases. A criminal bail bond can be used to pay other court fees if the defendant fails to appear in court, in addition to securing the defendant’s appearance when summoned by the court.

How much is a bond premium?

This is determined on a case-by-case basis. The exact amount will be determined by a number of factors. Bond premiums will usually be 10% of the bail amount. Contact us to get a free tailored quote.

Newport Beach Jail

Newport Beach Jail is located in the seaside city of Newport Beach in Orange County, California. As a Type 1 detention facility, inmates can only stay here up to a maximum of 96 hours. After such time, they will be moved to a larger detention facility. On busy days, arrestees are immediately brought to county facilities after they have been booked.

Newport Beach Jail has a program that allows inmates from Orange County Jail to stay here for free. The inmates will perform chores inside the jail and will not be permitted to leave the premises. The inmates will work as janitors, feed the custodies, and other menial labor. Violators of the program will be sent back to OCJ.
