The North County Correctional Facility (NCCF) is a correctional facility operated by the sheriff’s department. NCCF is located at 29340 The Old Road, Castaic, CA 91384. The county facility holds approximately 4,295 inmates serving their sentences or awaiting a court decision on misdemeanor or felony charges. If you or someone you know is detained in the facility pending case resolution and bail is set, you can contact a bail bonds company to assist you with the process. At Mr. Nice Guy Bail Bonds, we provide experienced bail bondsmen and 24/7 support to help you navigate the pretrial release process, which can become complex when a defendant is transferred to a county jail.
Finding an Arrestee in NCCF
If an inmate has been transferred to NCCF after an arrest, you can find them using the county sheriff's inmate search database. The search helps determine if an arrestee has been booked or received permanent housing in the county jail. To find the inmate, you will require their full name, age, and gender. Start by entering the legal name of the defendant to access the list of inmates of all races and birthdates. If you come across an inmate’s name that matches the defendant’s race and age, click on it to access detailed info, including their physical description, criminal charge categorization, booking number, arrest date, the date they are scheduled to appear before a judge, and the bail.
Additionally, you can obtain inmate information by contacting 213-473-6100 and providing the inmate's full name, age, and arrest date.
Visiting an Inmate in NCCF
You cannot visit an inmate at NCCF until the facility clarifies the inmate's housing status or assigns the inmate a permanent housing status, which can take at most a month.
If your inmate in the facility is allowed to receive visitors, you can visit on weekends alone from 8 am to 2 pm, unless on public holidays. An inmate can only receive two visits a week, with each visit lasting no more than 30 minutes. No more than six individuals can see you in a single visit. Children under 17 must have supervised visits, and supervision must continue throughout the visit. You cannot bring personal items or be allowed into the facility if you are intoxicated.
Also, there is a strict dress code in the facility. You will not be allowed to access the facility if:
- You are barefoot
- Wearing a swimsuit
- You are in revealing clothing
- You are wearing a sleeveless shirt
- Your clothing has images depicting nudity, drug themes, violence, or gang themes
Additionally, you must arrive at the facility an hour before the scheduled time. Carry a confirmation receipt and valid government-issued identification. Late arrivals result in visit cancellation.
Obtaining Pretrial Release from NCCF
For many inmates arrested for criminal violations, it can be difficult to raise bail. Raising money is not the only problem. You could end up emptying your savings account only for the cash to be held by the court for months or years without generating interest, as criminal court cases can drag on for years. Even after the case concludes, it can still take a few months before you receive a refund. The worst part is that the court does not refund the full amount. The refund is usually less than the court fees.
When you lack cash to post bail, the other option is to use your property to secure the pretrial release. However, the property you want to use must be at least 150% of your bail amount. People rarely use this option because it is lengthy and often delays their pretrial freedom.
This leaves you with bail bonds as the best option. Here, you contact NCCF for bail bonding details. You will find the names of North County Correctional Facility bail bonds that you can use to secure temporary freedom. The company will charge a nonrefundable 10% fee for its services. In certain cases, they can demand collateral to secure the surety bond they deposit on your behalf.
Some North County Correctional Facility bail bonds offer no-money-down bail bond services to eligible parties. Here, the bail bondsmen work with you to develop a flexible payment plan that takes effect after your release. However, you will require a good credit rating or a secure job to qualify for this type of bail bond. In other cases, companies will demand an initial deposit of 1% of the bail premium, with the balance paid in agreed-upon flexible installments after release. Other bail agreements will include GPS monitoring to further reduce the premium cost.
The advantage of relying on your North County Correctional Facility bail bonds firm for pretrial freedom is that it saves you time and money. Securing pretrial release in a local detention facility is easier than in a county jail. So, if you want to simplify the process of release from NCCF, you must consult a bail bondsman for guidance and financial support.
Phone Communication in NCCF
Every inmate is entitled to at least three phone calls after booking, including a personal call and a legal counsel call. So, if your loved one is detained at NCCF, you cannot call them or pass a message to a staff member there. If you, the inmate, are allowed to make a call, the first should be to your criminal defense attorney, your North County Correctional Facility bail bonds company, or a family member if you do not have a bail bondsman’s contact.
When the inmate is transferred to permanent housing, they do not need to request a phone call. Phones are available in the facility for personal calls, including prepaid ones. If you need to set up the account, you can call 877-650-4249 for guidance.
When making a phone call to your North County Correctional Facility bail bonds service, friend, or family, avoid discussing the details of the ongoing criminal case because the phones are monitored. Any self-incriminating information discussed over the phone can be used as evidence against you in court.
