BOOKING & BAIL PROCESS

When someone has been arrested in El Centro,  they will be transported to the Imperial County Sheriff’s Station located in El Centro on Applestill Road. At this El Centro detention center they will be booked into the system, which includes photographs, fingerprints, and background checks; the process can take up several hours to complete. We realize it's tough to be patient at this time, however, a bail bond cannot be posted with the jail until the booking process is complete. Once the defendant is cleared, bail may be posted 24 hours a day. When bail has been posted it can take anywhere from 2 to 6 hours for their release.

A bail bond is a written contract which releases a defendant from jail and guarantees that he or she will appear in court on a specified date. If you choose to be the defendant’s indemnitor, (bail bond signer) we can help you understand all of the details of your responsibilities prior to your decision to bail someone out of El Centro's county jail. When moving forward with the process, you will be required to sign minimal, state-required paperwork and make payment for the bond, which is a non-refundable fee.  You can read more information about how bail bonds work.

With our company, it’s fast and easy to handle the bail bond paperwork via Fax or e-mail. Further, you can handle everything from the comfort of your own home. At no additional charge, we can also arrange to have a 24-hour licensed agent come to your home, office or location.

Our fees for a bail bond are always discussed with you in advance. You’ll never have to worry about additional fees or taxes. We always accept Visa, MasterCard, American Express and Discover to pay for the bond. And if qualified, we offer flexible bail bonds payment options.

The cost of a bail bond is established by the State of California at 10% of the total bail amount. For example, if the bail amount is set at $20,000, the bail bond will cost $2,000.
