About This Facility
About Torrance City Jail
The Torrance City Jail is a short-term holding facility operated by the Torrance Police Department. Individuals arrested in Torrance are booked here before being transferred to the county jail system or released on bail. DUI arrests on the 405 freeway near Torrance frequently result in processing at this facility.
Arraignments for Torrance Arrests
Individuals arrested and processed at Torrance City Jail typically have their arraignment at Torrance Courthouse. That first appearance is where a plea is entered and bail is set — the difference between going home the same week and remaining in custody often turns on how prepared the defense is that morning.
Bail Information
Bail Information — Torrance City Jail
Bail can be posted at the Torrance City Jail. Arraignments for Torrance arrests take place at the Torrance Courthouse. For DUI arrests the 10-day DMV hearing deadline begins immediately — call Rubin Law at (213) 723-2337 right away.
What Is Bail?
Bail is a cash amount or bond posted with the court to guarantee the defendant's return to court. Bail is refunded (minus fees) once the case concludes.
How to Post Bail
Post cash directly at the facility, use a licensed bail bondsman (typically 10% premium, non-refundable), or move for O.R. release or a PC 1275 bail reduction at arraignment.
How Rubin Law Helps
We coordinate with reputable bondsmen, prepare an evidence-backed bail-reduction motion, and start building the defense from hour one — not after arraignment.
Immediate Action
What to Do If Someone Is Held at Torrance City Jail
The first 24 hours after arrest matter more than any other period in the case. Follow these steps in order.
Call Rubin Law Immediately
Call (213) 723-2337. Daniel Rubin personally answers consultations 24/7. Early intervention lets us contact the jail, coordinate bail, and start the defense before the DA files the complaint.
Find the Inmate
Use the LASD Inmate Information Center to confirm booking status and housing. It can take several hours after booking for records to appear.
Do Not Discuss the Case
Jail calls, mail, and visits are recorded and monitored. Anything the person in custody says can be used at trial. Tell them: don't talk to anyone about the case except their attorney.
Attend the Arraignment
The first court date at Torrance Courthouse is when bail is set and the plea is entered. We appear and fight for release — being present makes a real difference.
Constitutional Rights
Your Rights If Held at Torrance City Jail
Custody is disorienting. These are the rights that protect you — invoke them clearly and immediately.
Right to Remain Silent
Anything said on a jail phone, to a cellmate, or to law enforcement can be used at trial. All jail calls are recorded and monitored. Do not discuss the facts of the case with anyone but a lawyer.
Right to an Attorney
You have the right to counsel before any custodial questioning. Ask for a lawyer clearly and stop answering questions until one is present.
Right to a Bail Hearing
The court must set bail (or address O.R. release) at arraignment. A prepared PC 1275 argument can reduce bail dramatically or secure release.
Right to Know the Charges
The prosecution must file a complaint and formally advise you of the charges at arraignment. You are entitled to a copy of the complaint and the police reports through discovery.
Right to Humane Treatment
Detainees have the right to medical care, safe housing, and freedom from abuse. Document any mistreatment and tell your attorney immediately.
