FAQs
How do I visit an inmate at Malibu / Lost Hills Jail?
Visiting at the facility may be limited because station jails usually hold people for short periods. Call ahead or check the official facility information for current visiting hours, rules, and whether the inmate is still housed here.
What do I need to bring when visiting Malibu / Lost Hills Jail?
Visitors generally need a valid government-issued photo ID. You may be required to follow dress rules, pass security screening, and leave personal items such as bags, phones, and keys outside the visiting area.
How do I make phone or video calls with an inmate?
Inmates are usually allowed to make outgoing calls after booking, but they normally cannot receive incoming calls. Video calling may not be available at every station jail, so check the facility’s current phone service rules and any approved provider information.

How is bail set and how do I post bond at Malibu / Lost Hills Jail?
Bail is usually based on the charges, the county bail schedule, and any court orders. You can ask the facility or court for current bail information, and bail may be posted by cash, cashier’s check, or through a licensed bail bond agent depending on the rules in effect.
