Taft is the heart of west Kern oil country, a town built on the Midway-Sunset field, one of the largest oil fields in the country, and proud enough of it to keep a museum. Oilfield work runs on shifts at all hours, and so do arrests, which is why we keep a line open day and night for Taft and the smaller towns scattered across the west side.
Booking and transfer from Taft
Taft sits about 32 miles southwest of Bakersfield. People arrested here are booked and then commonly moved to the Lerdo complex outside Bakersfield. We verify which facility holds your loved one and handle the posting, so the family is not driving the long road in from the west side without answers.
The Taft/Maricopa courthouse
Taft cases are heard right in town at the Taft/Maricopa Branch Court on Lincoln Street, which also serves nearby Maricopa. We confirm your date and courtroom and explain what the first appearance covers.
Oilfield-tough, family-friendly
We know the west side runs on shift work and tight budgets, so we keep the down payment low and the payment plans realistic. One call gets a licensed agent working on the release, any hour of the day.
