Century Regional Detention Facility (CRDF)

How Do I Get Property or Money Released at Century Regional Detention Facility (CRDF)?

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

For money on her account, she asks staff for a Money Release Form, and withdrawals are handled at CRDF or the IRC. LASD says they are typically available within 24 to 48 hours. Bring government photo ID. For keys, wallet or phone, call to confirm, since LASD does not post the steps. Start with (323) 568-4535.

How do I get her account money out of CRDF?

LASD says the inmate starts it. Custody staff give her a Money Release Form, known as a pink slip, and she submits it. All withdrawals are processed at CRDF or at the Inmate Reception Center. LASD says they are typically approved and available within 24 to 48 hours after submission.

Whoever collects should bring a government photo ID. The CRDF address is 11705 S. Alameda St., Lynwood. LASD lists the CRDF cashier line as (323) 568-4535. We did not find cashier hours on the page, so call before you make the drive.

What about her keys, wallet and phone at CRDF?

We want to be honest here. LASD has a policy for releasing property to a third party, but the manual is behind a login and we could not read it. No official page we found gives the steps for CRDF. LAPD says property taken at arrest goes into a property bag, but that is about LAPD jails.

So do not guess. Call and ask these questions.

1. Where is her property now, at CRDF or at the downtown IRC?
2. Can family or a friend collect it, or only she can?
3. What ID and paperwork do I bring?
4. What days and hours can I come?

Start with the CRDF line at (323) 568-4535. You can also call LASD at (213) 473-6100, or the IRC inmate property line at (213) 893-5352. Write down the name of the person you spoke with and the date.

What ID should I bring to CRDF?

LASD says to bring a government photo ID for money pickups. A driver license, state ID or passport fits. Bring her full name and booking number in writing. If a lawyer is helping, LASD lists CRDF professional visiting Monday through Friday, 9:15 AM to 4:00 PM, with the last pass at 3:30 PM. The attorney window rules in LASD's FAQ are written for Men's Central, so ask CRDF what applies.

The drive to Lynwood is a long one for many families. A call first saves the trip. If you cannot go yourself, ask the staff member whether a relative with the right ID can go for you, and write the answer down so the person you send knows what to say at the window.

How long does the money stay at CRDF?

LASD says trust accounts are purged about 30 days after release. Do not wait. If she has been released and left money behind, go or call soon. If she is still inside, remind her on your next call to ask staff for the Money Release Form. You cannot start it for her.

Does release from CRDF change when I get her things?

Release and property are separate steps. We do not know whether she gets her things at the door or must return later, because LASD does not say. Ask when you call about the release. Our page on release after bail at CRDF covers the rest.

If she is pregnant, our program for qualifying pregnant women may help with the bond. It is subject to approval, and a co-signer is required.

Start with 1% of the bail amount down on approved credit. The premium is set by our filed rate, and the rest goes on a payment plan. See how 1% down works or apply online. We are a licensed private bail agent, not part of LASD, and approval is required.

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.
