Where CRDF Releases Go
Century Regional Detention Facility is a county jail operated by the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department. Research identifies CRDF at 11705 S. Alameda Street, Lynwood, CA 90262, and describes it as the principal LASD women's jail. A person released from CRDF is normally a county-jail release, meaning the records path starts with LASD and the court case. The person may be released to the community, released on court terms, transferred to another LASD facility, moved to court, sent to CDCR, or routed to another agency or hold.
CRDF also has a distinctive safe-release policy context. LASD policy search results identify "Inmate Safe Release Procedures" for female inmates at CRDF and describe the purpose as establishing safe hours for release. That is logistics context, not a public promise of a specific release time. Release still depends on court orders, warrants, holds, paperwork, identity verification, property, transportation, medical or supervision processing, and agency coordination.
Confirm a CRDF Release
The safest CRDF release check separates current custody, pending release, projected release, court authority, and formal records.
- Search the LASD Inmate Information Center or call 213-473-6100 for current custody and inmate location.
- Use the LASD Custody Reports page to find the Inmate Releases and LASD Pending Releases PDFs. A projected or pending entry is a lead, not final proof that release occurred.
- Check California VINE or call 1-877-VINE-4LA / 1-877-846-3452 for custody status and release or transfer notification.
- Review the Los Angeles Superior Court criminal case for bail, release order, sentence, dismissal, warrant, or probation context.
- Use an LASD custody records request if you need the formal date, time, manner, releasing facility, and public booking information.
Safe-Release Logistics at CRDF
The CRDF safe-release angle is one of the most important facility-specific facts in this batch. It means release planning can include safety-related timing and procedure, especially for female inmates at CRDF. The page should not invent family waiting rules, rideshare rules, or a guaranteed pickup window. The practical instruction is to verify current status before traveling, know that pending release may still take time, and use official LASD or VINE status rather than assuming a projected date has become a completed release.
CRDF is in Lynwood, not downtown Los Angeles or Castaic. Los Angeles County releases can occur from multiple locations, and transportation realities differ by facility. If a person was housed at CRDF but then moved to court, another LASD facility, CDCR, or another agency, the release confirmation source may shift with the custody path. Confirm the last holding agency and the releasing facility before making plans around pickup or follow-up records.
CRDF Records and Contact
Use the LASD custody line, 213-473-6100, for current custody and inmate-location questions. For records, LASD's custody-related CPRA process is the formal route for inmate records, booking information, incarceration records, and custody data. The Records and Identification Bureau Public Services Section is at 12440 East Imperial Hwy., Suite 120 West, Norwalk, CA 90650, phone 562-345-4441, Monday through Thursday, 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. by appointment only.

About CRDF
CRDF is part of the Los Angeles County Jail System and should be described as a county jail. It is not a CDCR prison, so CDCR CIRIS is not the first lookup for a person released from CRDF unless the CRDF event was followed by transfer to state custody. The correct county-level sources are LASD current custody, LASD release and pending-release reports, VINE, Los Angeles Superior Court records, and LASD custody records.
The difference between "released" and "no longer listed" is especially important. A person can leave a current LASD display because of release, court movement, hospital movement, transfer, data lag, a sealed or limited record, or a name/date-of-birth mismatch. Use formal records when the exact date and manner matter. California Government Code section 7923.610 supports public access to time and manner of release or current holding location, subject to legal limits.
Use Records Carefully
Neither the LASD Inmate Release Report nor the LASD Pending Releases report is a booking-photo feed. No official LASD mobile app recent-release or mugshot feed was confirmed in the research. Avoid commercial mugshot and data-broker links, and verify CRDF release details with LASD, VINE, the court, or a records response.
Source Check for CRDF
CRDF release confirmation should combine status, court, and records sources. The LASD Inmate Information Center and 213-473-6100 custody line tell whether the person is currently shown in LASD custody. The Inmate Release Report can show a projected release date, and the Pending Releases report can show release processing at a snapshot. VINE can notify a registered user when the person's custody status changes. Los Angeles Superior Court records can show the legal event that caused the release, such as bail, own-recognizance release, sentence, dismissal, warrant action, or probation terms.
For a formal CRDF release record, use LASD records. A request should include the legal name, booking number if known, approximate arrest or booking date, last known facility, and the specific information sought: release date, release time, manner of release, release reason or type, releasing facility, and public booking information. If LASD withholds any part, request the specific exemption and segregable nonexempt portions.
After CRDF Custody Ends
Release from CRDF can mean several different next statuses. The person may be released to the community, released on court conditions, returned for future court dates, placed under probation or PRCS, transferred to another LASD facility, moved to CDCR, or routed to another agency. The safe-release policy context does not answer which of those happened. It only gives local logistics context for how CRDF handles release timing for female inmates.
If the person was transferred to state prison, the follow-up search belongs with CDCR, not CRDF. If PRCS applies after a CDCR release, Los Angeles County Probation may supervise. If parole applies, CDCR's Division of Adult Parole Operations is the state parole source. If an immigration or federal question arises, verify it through official records rather than assuming it from a missing current custody listing.
