Bail, Booking and Release Information

Charges, custody status, court dates, bail amounts, release dates and other inmate information can be obtained 24 hours a day, seven days a week by calling 510-268-7777. You must have the inmate's name, PFN (Person File Number), or correct date of birth before obtaining information.

Bail can be posted in the Glenn E. Dyer Detention Facility lobby 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Inmates who are determined to be eligible for release, will be released as quickly as possible. However, this procedure can take up to several hours. It is recommended that you wait until receiving a telephone call from the released inmate before coming to the jail. Inmates granted release while at court must return to the jail to complete all necessary paperwork. The inmate will receive all personal property and be released from the jail facility. Inmates being released who are indigent, have inadequate clothing for climatic conditions, do not have clothing available at the time of release, or who can no longer fit into their clothing, will be provided appropriate welfare clothing. Inmates who have no money upon release are given a free bus passe or a free B.A.R.T. ticket. The inmates are also provided with transportation schedules and directions to the B.A.R.T. station if they choose to walk. Pending Release: Once jail staff have determined an inmate may be eligible for release from custody, the inmate is identified as a “pending release” and the release process is initiated. The release process is a multistep administrative process that may take several hours to complete. During this process, a search of law enforcement databases is conducted to determine if the inmate has any outstanding warrants and/or holds that may prevent their release from custody. Should any other legal holding authority be located during this process, the inmate will not be released from custody and the inmate will no longer appear as a “Pending Release.”

Expected (EXP)Release Date: Is the date a sentenced inmate will have completed serving time on that specific case, provided no penalties for misbehavior are incurred, no other cases are sentenced to additional jail time and/or no other pending un-sentenced cases are located. Prior to an inmate’s release from custody, the inmate will begin the initial release process as described above and the inmate will appear as a “Pending Release.” Inmates with pending local cases, warrants or holds from other jurisdictions will not necessarily be released on the Exp. Release Date.
