Emergency Bail Bonds in Avalon, California
An arrest on Catalina Island is different from an arrest anywhere else in Los Angeles County. There is no county jail on the island, so most people who are booked in Avalon are taken across the channel to a mainland sheriff’s station, and many felony and in-custody cases are heard in Long Beach rather than on the island. Families often do not know where their loved one is for hours. Iron Bail Bonds writes 24/7 emergency bail bonds for Avalon arrests and can track the person through each transfer, so the bond is ready the moment bail is set.
LA County Sheriff — Avalon Station
- Address: 215 Sumner Ave, Avalon, CA 90704
- Phone: (310) 510-0174
- Hours: Open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week
- Coverage: The City of Avalon, all of Santa Catalina Island (including Two Harbors), the surrounding ocean waters, and San Clemente Island
Where Avalon arrestees are taken
Under Sheriff’s Department procedure, prisoners from Catalina are moved to the mainland by commercial ferry or by a Sheriff’s patrol boat, with the hand-off made at the Port of Long Beach or the San Pedro ferry terminal. From there they are normally booked at the Marina del Rey Sheriff’s Station jail, or at another station such as Carson or Lomita if Marina del Rey is full. Because the transfer depends on boat schedules and weather, it can add several hours before bail information is available.
If the person is held past the station level, they move into Los Angeles County custody:
- Men: Inmate Reception Center (IRC) at Twin Towers, 450 Bauchet St, Los Angeles, CA 90012
- Women: Century Regional Detention Facility, 11705 S Alameda St, Lynwood, CA 90262
Not sure which facility has them? Use our California inmate locator, or call us and an agent will find them for you.
Courthouse for Avalon cases
- Long Beach Courthouse: 275 Magnolia Ave, Long Beach, CA 90802. Since June 2013, felonies and all in-custody misdemeanors from Catalina are filed and heard here. If your loved one is in custody, this is where the arraignment will be.
- Catalina Courthouse: 215 Sumner Ave, Avalon, CA 90704, (310) 510-0026. Still open, and holds court on alternating Fridays for out-of-custody misdemeanors and certain infractions involving island residents.
How Bail Works After an Avalon Arrest
Booking at the mainland station usually takes 2–4 hours once the person arrives. Bail is set from the Los Angeles County bail schedule according to the most serious charge. Under the county’s pre-arraignment release protocol, many lower-level offenses are released without money bail. When dollar bail does apply, as with serious felonies, enhancements, warrants, or probation and parole holds, a bail bond lets you pay a fraction of the amount instead of the full bail. For the full picture, read how bail works in California and how long it takes to get out on bail.
Release time expectations
- Island-to-mainland transfer: add several hours, depending on boat availability and sea conditions
- Released from a Sheriff’s station: typically 4–12 hours after the bond is posted
- Released from IRC or Century Regional: often 12–24+ hours
Once released on the mainland, the person will need a way back to the island. Ferries do not run around the clock, so plan the return trip early.
Typical Bail Amounts for Avalon Arrests
Avalon arrests use the Los Angeles County schedule. The amounts below apply when a dollar figure is attached, either from the schedule or at arraignment. Many lower-level offenses are released pre-arraignment without money bail.
