Custody Process: Step-by-Step Guide

After an arrest, the individual is processed at a police department or county jail. This stage involves fingerprints, background checks, and confirming the charges. Booking usually wraps up in one to three hours depending on how busy the facility is.

California uses a bail schedule to determine the figure. Minor charges may be a few thousand dollars, while serious felonies can exceed $50,000 or more.

Once the amount is set, we confirm the booking number and charges, explain available options, and prepare the paperwork.

State law requires a 10% payment. For example, a $25,000 case requires $2,500 to secure release. We offer flexible payment options, co-signers, and collateral support if needed.

Once the bond is posted, most clients are cleared in a few additional hours. We keep families informed at every step until the person is home.

Release is just the first stage. Court hearings follow, and missing even one can trigger a warrant and bond forfeiture. We provide reminders and guidance to keep everything on track.

Posting Bail at Santa Barbara County Main Jail

A licensed bail bonds agency can post a surety bond when the defendant qualifies for release on bail.
Important: Release is not instantaneous after a bond is posted. The jail must complete its release procedures, and processing times can vary based on staffing, booking volume, medical clearance, holds, warrants and other circumstances.
Santa Barbara County Inmate Search
Family members can use the Santa Barbara County Sheriff’s Office Who Is In Custody system to search for someone currently in custody.
Searches can be performed using:
- First and last name
- Inmate/CID number
- Available booking information
If someone was recently arrested and does not immediately appear in the system, they may still be going through the booking process.
Santa Barbara Courthouse
Santa Barbara County Superior Court
Address: 1100 Anacapa Street, Santa Barbara, CA 93101
Criminal cases arising from arrests in the Santa Barbara area are handled through the Santa Barbara County Superior Court system. The exact courtroom, appearance location and hearing information depend on the defendant’s case.
What Happens After Someone Is Released on Bail?
Posting bail gets the defendant out of custody while the criminal case continues. It does not resolve or dismiss the underlying charges.
Before leaving custody, defendants should make sure they understand:
- Their next court date
- Which courthouse they must appear at
- Any release conditions imposed by the court
- Whether they have additional warrants or holds
- Any requirements established by their bail agreement
What Happens If Someone Misses Court?
Missing a required court appearance can have serious consequences. Depending on the circumstances, the court may issue a bench warrant and, when a surety bond has been posted, may order the bail bond forfeited.
If you believe you have missed court, do not ignore the situation. Contact the court, your attorney and your bail bond agency as soon as possible to determine what steps may be available.
