Presiding Superior Court judge says the current cash bail system for low-level, nonserious offenses is inequitable and ineffective.
However, the remaining 45 independent law enforcement agencies within the county have been allowed to continue to hold inmates from the time of arrest through arraignment.
The protocols included in Los Angeles County’s new bail schedules will correspond with prearraignment release terms based on the arrestee’s risk of endangering the public and skipping arraignment. Individuals arrested for certain crimes that pose a greater risk to the public will be referred to a magistrate, available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, who will determine the appropriate nonfinancial prearraignment release.
