When someone you care about gets locked up, it's tough to figure out all the ins and outs of jail life. From sending mail to visiting, there are a lot of things to sort out. And getting info about the arrest? Not always easy. That's where this webpage comes in handy. It's here to help you get a handle on how things work at Orange County-Central Men's and Women's Jail (CMWJ) so you can stay connected and support your loved one behind bars.
The CMWJ is a detention center located at 550 N Flower St Santa Ana, CA which is operated locally by the Orange County Sheriff's Office and holds inmates awaiting trial or sentencing or both. Most of the sentenced inmates are here for less than two years. Orange County accepts inmates from surrounding towns, Santa Ana Police Department, and the US Marshal's Service.
New detainees arrive at the jail regularly, with some being released on bail, placed under pretrial services caseloads, supervised by probation agencies, or released on recognizance with a court appearance agreement. Those who are not released await their court appearances at the jail, receiving accommodations including bedding and meals. You can see all the arrest records for California here.
The Central Men’s and Central Women’s Jail, established in November 1968, are traditional linear-style facilities housing both sentenced and pre-trial maximum-security inmates. The Central Men’s Jail accommodates up to 1,428 inmates, while the Central Women’s Jail can house up to 386 inmates.
Inmates at these facilities have access to various amenities and services, including television, outdoor recreation, local newspapers, mail, and commissary purchases. They also receive medical, mental health, and dental care, in addition to participating in religious services, vocational, and educational programs. Public visiting is available on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays each week.
Sentenced inmates may have the opportunity to work in the facility kitchen or labor crews, earning "work-time" credits to reduce their sentences. Eligible inmates may also qualify for the Community Work Program or Electronic Monitoring Program, providing alternatives to traditional incarceration.
The Central Men’s Jail is home to “CJ1,” a dedicated courtroom for arraignments located inside the facility for enhanced efficiency. This initiative represents a productive partnership between the Sheriff’s Department, the District Attorney’s Office, and the Office of the Public Defender, streamlining the arraignment process and ensuring timely judicial proceedings.
