Why Pomona Families Call Us for Pitchess Detention Center Bail Bonds
Pitchess Detention Center bail bonds start with one call from Pomona, at any hour. Our agency brings 20+ years in business and 867+ clients helped, and agents speak English and Spanish.
We keep what you tell us about a Pitchess case private. We do not contact an employer or neighbor, and we discuss the bond only with the people who signed.
A call about a relative in Castaic can shake anyone. Our agents talk with you without judgment about the charge or the past and keep the conversation on the bond and the court date.
First time posting bail? We define each term before you sign. The indemnitor is the cosigner who guarantees the bond if your relative misses court, and exoneration is the moment the bond ends.
Castaic sits a long drive from Pomona, and the bond paperwork does not require that trip. You apply by phone and e-sign the agreement while a licensed agent handles the posting.
LASD does not alert families after a jail transfer, so we track the booking record. We call you once we post the bond, and our after-bail guide explains the court dates ahead.
How the Pitchess Complex Works for Visitors and Families
LASD runs Pitchess and sets its visiting and deposit rules. A bond helps a relative awaiting trial; after conviction, Penal Code 1272 allows bail only for someone who sought probation or appealed.
Where Pitchess Sits and the Wayside Name
Pitchess lies in unincorporated Castaic, east of Interstate 5 exit 173. Wikipedia records its older names, Wayside Honor Rancho and the Wayside Jail, a name it still sometimes goes by. LASD lists the North facility at 29320 The Old Road and South at 29330, both Castaic, California 91384. Inmate questions for the whole complex go to (213) 473-6100.
The Road From a Pomona Arrest to Castaic
A Pomona Police arrest most often starts at Pomona City Jail, 490 W. Mission Blvd., Pomona, CA 91766, jail line (909) 620-2131. LASD says city agencies may hold arrestees through arraignment, which for Pomona cases takes place at Pomona Courthouse South. Once a judge remands someone into Los Angeles County custody, LASD picks the housing, sometimes Pitchess.
Weekend Visits and Classification
Public visiting at Pitchess runs 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. on Saturdays and Sundays, by appointment through LASD’s online registration, with photo ID. Until LASD classifies a new arrival for permanent housing, they can’t take visits or calls, and LASD’s custody FAQ says that step can last two weeks to a month.
Deposits and the Pink Slip
The PDC Visiting Center at 29340 The Old Rd. has cash kiosks that take deposits during visiting hours with government photo ID; Access Corrections handles online deposits at (866) 345-1884. For withdrawals, ask for the Money Release Form, or pink slip, at the visiting check-in window. Inmate Reception Center and CRDF cashiers process withdrawals.
Three Simple Steps to a Bail Bond
Call (888) 998-9511 at any hour. Once bail has a dollar amount, you sign the agreement and make a low down payment on the standard premium, 10% of bail.
We spread the premium balance over a written plan that fits your budget. Penal Code 1276.1 bars a second premium on the same bond, however long the case runs.
A licensed agent posts the bond with the facility holding your loved one. Each jail controls its own processing time, and we keep your family updated from posting until release.

Pitchess Detention Center Bail Bond FAQ
Most questions from Pitchess families concern money and time. The answers below rely on LASD’s own pages and the California Penal Code, and the last one covers transfers out of Pomona.
At our standard 10% rate, filed with the California Department of Insurance, a $1,000 bail costs a $100 premium. Small bonds carry no flat minimum fee. Our bail bond cost guide covers larger amounts. Once we post the bond, we keep the premium in most cases, including after prosecutors drop the charges.
LASD describes Pitchess Detention Center as part of its Pitchess Correctional Facilities in Castaic, with North and South facilities on The Old Road and an East Facility whose professional visits take place at South. The group also takes in North County Correctional Facility at 29340 and PDC Inmate Firefighters at 29310.
Plan on $500 for a $5,000 bond at the standard 10%, or $400 at our filed 8% rate if you qualify as a veteran, active service member, union member or private-attorney client. You pay the premium once per bond, and qualifying clients can spread it over written installments.
Without bail or a release order, your relative stays in custody. Under Penal Code 825, a judge must arraign them within 48 hours after arrest, excluding Sundays and holidays, and can review bail at that hearing. Some charges carry $0 pre-arraignment release; an attorney can advise on yours.
Start with Pomona City Jail at (909) 620-2131, since the City can hold an arrestee through arraignment. If the desk has no record, ask LASD at (213) 473-6100 with your relative’s full name plus a birth date or arrest date. LASD will not phone you after a move to Pitchess.
