FAQs
How do I visit an inmate at San Dimas Jail?
Call the facility or check the official custody information before planning a visit, because people held here may be transferred quickly to another Los Angeles County jail. Visiting hours, approval rules, and appointment requirements can vary by custody location.
What do I need to bring when visiting San Dimas Jail?

How does the commissary work?
Commissary lets inmates buy approved items such as snacks, hygiene products, and writing supplies if the housing facility offers the service. Family or friends may be able to add funds through the county’s approved deposit system, depending on where the inmate is housed.
How is bail set and how do I post bond at San Dimas Jail?
Bail is usually based on the charge, the county bail schedule, or a judge’s order. To post bail or bond, confirm the inmate’s booking status and custody location, then follow the instructions from the jail or court for cash bail, bond, or other approved release options.
What happens during the intake process at San Dimas Jail and when will the inmate appear in the system?
Intake usually includes confirming identity, recording arrest information, checking warrants, medical screening, and entering the person into the custody system. This process can take several hours, so the inmate may not appear in the online search immediately after arrest.
