Inside West Valley

What to expect during the booking process at WVDC

West Valley Detention Center is the busiest jail in San Bernardino County. Understanding what happens inside helps families know what to expect - and why calling us early matters.

After arrival at WVDC, every person goes through a structured intake process before they can be housed or released on bail:

1

Intake screening

Medical and mental health staff conduct an intake evaluation. This screens for injuries, medications, and mental health needs. It cannot be skipped.

2

Fingerprinting and ID

Electronic fingerprints are taken and run through state and federal databases. Warrants in other jurisdictions are identified at this stage.

3

Classification

A classification officer reviews criminal history, current charges, and any safety concerns to determine which housing unit is appropriate.

4

Property inventory

Personal property is catalogued and secured. Property can be retrieved upon release or picked up at a later date with proper documentation.

This entire intake process takes 2 to 8 hours. At WVDC's volume - over 50,000 bookings per year - evening and weekend shifts can push that to the longer end. Starting the bail paperwork while intake is still underway means the bond can post the moment the process is complete.

Phone calls and commissary

Inmates at WVDC can make collect calls or calls through a prepaid phone account. Setting up an account in advance means your family member can reach you sooner after housing. Commissary orders can typically be placed after the second or third day of custody.

Note: The fastest way to help is to post bail. Phone accounts and commissary are helpful for longer stays - our goal is to make the stay as short as possible.

The bail process at WVDC

How bail works specifically at West Valley Detention Center

Not every jail processes bail the same way. Here is what is specific to West Valley Detention Center:

Bail can be posted as soon as it is set in the system - which happens during or shortly after intake. A licensed bail agent submits the bond paperwork directly to the jail's release unit. Release staff then process the paperwork and prepare the defendant for release.

WVDC has a release processing area separate from the main jail entrance. Released inmates exit on a different side of the building than where visitors enter. Families picking someone up should confirm the release exit location with the jail when possible.

Court cases for West Valley detainees are heard primarily at the Rancho Cucamonga District Court at 8303 Haven Avenue and the Fontana District Court at 17780 Arrow Boulevard, depending on where the arrest occurred.

Release from WVDC - what to expect

  • Bond post to release processing: typically 2 to 4 hours
  • Busy nights (Friday, Saturday) can extend this to 4 to 6 hours
  • Defendant receives their property upon release
  • A release document lists all conditions and next court date
  • Failure to appear on any court date triggers immediate forfeiture
