Step-by-Step: How to Get a Bail Bond in Bakersfield

  1. Find out where the person is being held
    Most Bakersfield arrests go to Lerdo Jail (Kern County Sheriff’s Detention Facility). You can search the Kern County inmate locator online or call the jail directly.
  2. Get the bail amount
    Once you have the booking number or full name + date of birth, ask the jail what bail has been set. We can also help you confirm the amount.
  3. Contact Cowboy Bail Bonds

    We’ll need the arrested person’s full name, date of birth, booking number (if known), and the bail amount. You’ll also share your contact and basic employment info as the co-signer.

    We prepare the bail bond documents. You can sign them in person at our office, by email, or over the phone in most cases. We explain everything clearly — no surprises.
  6. We post the bail bond
