Shafter sits on the west side near Minter Field and has become a magnet for warehousing and distribution work, posting the highest growth rate of any city in the county. More people and more traffic on the 99 and 43 mean more arrests, and we are set up to handle Shafter calls fast, day or night.
Where Shafter arrests are held
Local arrests are booked and, when held, transferred to the Lerdo complex outside Bakersfield. Because Shafter is close to the metro jails, posting quickly here often means a same-night release. We will find your person and start the bond.
The Shafter courthouse
Shafter and Wasco cases are heard right in town at the Shafter/Wasco Branch Court, 325 Central Valley Highway. We keep you informed on the date and the courtroom and send reminders so the bond stays in good standing.
Bail that fits a Shafter budget
We offer the standard 10% premium with flexible payment plans, low down payments, and no-collateral options for qualified co-signers. Call us with the name and the jail and we will quote you honestly before anything is signed.
