Century Regional Detention Facility (CRDF) Bail Help, Lynwood

By Jane Un, licensed bail agent #1843448. Updated October 29, 2026.

Century Regional Detention Facility, called CRDF, is where Los Angeles County houses women in custody. We are a private licensed bail agent, not part of LASD, and we help families with bail for women held in Lynwood.

For deeper detail on this facility, inmate search, visiting and mail, see LynwoodJail.com, a guide to Century Regional Detention Facility.

Visiting

• LASD lists CRDF public visiting Friday 9 AM to 12:30 PM, Saturday and Sunday 8:30 AM to 5:30 PM, and Monday 9 AM to 12:30 PM.
• Visits are by appointment with visitor registration and photo ID.

Who is held at CRDF

CRDF is at 11705 S. Alameda St., Lynwood, CA 90262. LASD says women in county custody are detained here. A woman arrested in Los Angeles is usually booked first at a city or Sheriff jail, then moved through the Inmate Reception Center downtown, and then housed at CRDF. Because Lynwood is south of downtown, the drive can be long. Plan extra time, and check the LASD Inmate Information Center to see where she is before you leave.

Booking and release.

CRDF is mostly a housing jail, so a new arrest is booked elsewhere first. If bail is posted, release may still run through the IRC release process downtown rather than at the front door in Lynwood. Call the number that LASD lists for the release line or call us. We cannot promise a release time.

How bail is posted for a woman at CRDF

A licensed bail agent can post a surety bond. Cash bail can be paid through the cashier, but we could not confirm the hours on an official LASD page, so call first. When you call us, we need the full name, date of birth and booking number. We prepare the bond, and the Sheriff's staff handle the release.

If she is pregnant

Pregnancy in jail raises real worries for families. We offer free bail, with the premium waived, for qualifying pregnant women who are 8 months or more along, where bail is $50,000 or less, the charge is non-violent, and a working co-signer can show proof of income. It is subject to approval. If she does not qualify, ask anyway, we are often able to help. See the program page and our guide on pregnancy in jail. Tell the jail about any medical needs and tell her attorney. LASD explains how families can fax medication information after booking on its custody FAQ.

Visiting, mail and money

LASD lists public visiting on Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday. Saturday and Sunday are the longer days. Visits are by appointment, with visitor registration and photo ID. Mail can be sent to a woman at CRDF with her name and booking number, per LASD.

CRDF is also one of the two places where LASD says money left on a jail account can be picked up after release, with valid government photo ID. The other is the IRC.

If she is moved

A woman can be moved between facilities. A bond can be posted wherever she is held. Call us and we will help you confirm the location. Our guide to finding someone can help.

Getting there and what to bring.

CRDF is on Alameda Street in Lynwood, in the south part of Los Angeles County. From downtown the drive is mostly south on the 110 and east on the 105, and Metro buses also run in that area. Check current routes before you go, because service changes. Bring a valid government photo ID, and leave anything you do not need in the car. LASD suggests a few quarters for a locker at Twin Towers, so ask when you register whether the same applies here.

Many visitors are mothers, sisters and partners with children at home. Child care is a real problem on a weekday morning visit. Weekend windows are longer, so they can be easier. If you cannot visit, a letter with her name and booking number can reach her. Keep it short and kind. Do not write about the case, because jail mail can be read. If she has children at home, a line telling her they are safe and loved can mean more than any news.

If you are the co-signer, it helps to read the cosigner guide before you sign. It explains in plain words what you are agreeing to.

How 1% down works for CRDF

On 1% down, here is how it works. Bail Today, Pay Later lets you start with 1% of the bail amount down on approved credit, and the rest of the premium goes on a monthly plan. The premium itself is 10% of the bail, which is the filed rate, or 8% when a private attorney is retained or the defendant or co-signer is a veteran. 1% down is the start of a payment plan, not the price. You can use the calculator or start the online application, which takes about 4 minutes and asks for no SSN online.

See the 1% down page for more. We hold California Department of Insurance License #1843448 and answer 24 hours at (213) 725-2815. A family member, friend or attorney can call for her.

1% down is a down payment on approved credit, not the price of the bond. The premium is the rate on file with the California Department of Insurance, 10% of the bail amount, or 8% when a private attorney is retained or you or the defendant is a veteran. The balance goes on a payment plan.
