The Lerdo Justice Facility is one of the main buildings in the Lerdo detention complex on Industrial Farm Road, and it plays a central role in how Kern County receives and holds people in custody. If your loved one has been moved here, we can post a bond at the facility quickly and discreetly.
What the Justice Facility does
This is an 825-bed Type II jail, which in California terms means it is built to hold people for longer than the initial booking period, including those awaiting court and those serving shorter sentences. Within the Lerdo complex it functions as a primary receiving facility, so it sees a steady flow of people transferred from the Central Receiving Facility downtown.
Posting bail here
The process is the same one we run every day across the county. Give us the full name, date of birth, and confirmation the person is at the Lerdo Justice Facility, and we will verify the bail amount and quote the cost. We handle the payment plan and paperwork remotely, then post the bond at the facility. If you are not certain which building in the Lerdo complex is holding your person, we will locate them for you.
Why fast matters
The earlier you call, the more options we have. People move between the buildings of the Lerdo complex and the downtown receiving facility based on capacity and case status, and starting the bond early keeps the release on the shortest possible track. Cases are generally heard at the Bakersfield Metropolitan courthouses, and we send reminders for every court date.
