What will happen if bail is not posted immediately?

The defendant will stay inside Palos Verdes Estates Jail until his or her arraignment or the defendant’s first court appearance.

However, if the jail becomes busy or has become overcrowded, the arrestee will immediately be transferred to a larger county jail such as Lynwood Jail or Men’s Central Jail.

Since these county jails are busier, it will take longer for the defendant to be released. For smaller jails such as Palos Verdes Estates Jail, an arrested person can be released after an hour or two.

In bigger county jails, an arrestee can be released after 13 hours; often times, longer.
