The Century Regional Detention Center is a detention center located at 11705 S Alameda St Lynwood, CA which is operated locally by the Los Angeles 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. Los Angeles County accepts inmates from surrounding towns, Lynwood 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.

The Century Regional Detention Facility (CRDF) offers a range of Education Based Incarceration (EBI) programs designed to support the rehabilitation and personal development of its inmates, particularly focusing on female inmates. These programs are structured to provide inmates with the skills and knowledge necessary to improve their lives, both during and after incarceration.

Books and magazines ordered for inmates must come directly from the publisher. This policy ensures that the items are new, untampered, and comply with the facility's regulations. The Jail enforces this rule to prevent the introduction of contraband or prohibited materials. By restricting orders to publishers, the facility can better maintain security and control over the content entering the institution. Any books or magazines not received directly from the publisher will be rejected and not delivered to the inmate. You may, however, send letters and selfies to inmates with this easy-to-use app, packages starting at only $8.00.

The Adults Bonding with Children (ABC) Program is a unique initiative that facilitates the maintenance and development of parental relationships while inmates are in custody. This program is particularly beneficial for female inmates, allowing them to maintain a meaningful connection with their children, which can be crucial for both the mother and the child's emotional well-being.

Adult Basic Education is a foundational program that prepares inmates for more advanced educational opportunities, such as the GED preparation course. It employs a systematic approach to enhance inmates' reading, writing, and math skills, ensuring they have the essential tools needed for academic success.

For those who have not yet earned a high school diploma, the GED Completion program offers an alternative pathway to educational achievement. This program covers essential areas, including language arts, mathematics, science, and social studies, enabling inmates to earn a state-approved equivalency diploma.

The Computer Operations course provides inmates with practical skills in using Microsoft Office 2010, covering the basics of Word, PowerPoint, Access, and Excel. These skills are crucial for inmates seeking to improve their employability upon release.

Culinary Arts offers hands-on training in food services, covering everything from baking to cooking and overall food preparation. This program equips inmates with valuable skills that can lead to employment in the food service industry after release.

The Sewing Class teaches inmates basic sewing techniques, including the operation of sewing machinery. Inmates in this program produce items such as dolls, which are donated to inner-city schools across the county, as well as various articles of clothing. This program not only provides vocational skills but also fosters a sense of giving back to the community.

Drug and Alcohol Abuse Courses are available for inmates struggling with substance abuse. These courses include several programs modeled after the Twelve-Step approach, including Celebrate Recovery, Alcoholics Anonymous, and Narcotics Anonymous. These programs aim to help inmates address their addictions and develop strategies for maintaining sobriety.

The IMPACT Drug Treatment Program is specifically tailored for inmates selected by designated Drug Courts within Los Angeles County. This program is partially based on the Narcotics Anonymous Twelve-Step curriculum and requires approval from both the court and the Sheriff’s Department. Inmates who complete the program may receive follow-up monitoring, which can include drug testing, supervision, employment assistance, and continued participation in the Twelve-Step program. This monitoring may last up to eighteen months, providing inmates with ongoing support as they transition back into society.

These programs at CRDF are integral to the facility's broader mission of rehabilitation, offering inmates the opportunity to develop essential life skills and better prepare for successful reintegration into their communities.

Visitation Information

The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department emphasizes the importance of public interest and concerns regarding inmate visitation at the county’s custody facilities. As part of their ongoing commitment to improving visitation services, the department has implemented an Inmate Visitation Scheduling System.

Visitation at all facilities is limited and must be scheduled in advance, as each facility has specific availability that must be accommodated. Walk-in visits are not permitted under any circumstances. Additionally, for those seeking to hold a marriage ceremony within the custody facilities, pre-approval is required. Such ceremonies will be limited to one adult visitor, one minister, and one adult witness.

Visitors are advised to arrive well in advance of their scheduled appointments to avoid the risk of cancellation. They should plan to arrive at least thirty (30) minutes before the start time. Upon arrival, visitors must check in with staff as part of the check-in procedure.

These measures are designed to ensure the orderly and secure operation of inmate visitation, while also addressing the logistical needs of the facilities and maintaining the safety of both inmates and visitors.

Public Visiting Hours:

Friday: 9:00 am to 12:30 pm
Saturday: 8:30 am to 5:30 pm
Sunday: 8:30 am to 5:30 pm
Monday: 9:00 am to 12:30 pm
