Facility Overview
The Western Region Detention Facility downtown holds federal pretrial detainees for the U.S. Marshals Service. The address is 220 W C St, San Diego, CA 92101.
People here are in the federal system, usually after an appearance at the federal courthouse a few blocks away.
A county bail bond does nothing here. Federal release runs on bond conditions set by a magistrate judge, not on the San Diego County bail schedule.
We tell callers this before anything else: if the hold is federal or military, a San Diego County bail bond will not open the door. If there is also a county charge, that piece is ours and we will handle it.

Booking & Custody Process
Western Region Detention Facility does not run on the county bail schedule. The steps below are what determines release here.
Identify the system
We confirm from the booking whether the hold is county, federal, or immigration. This single question decides everything that follows.
Federal appearance
Federal detainees appear before a magistrate judge, who sets release conditions — not a dollar figure from a county schedule.
No county bond applies
A bail bond written against the San Diego County schedule cannot release someone held here, and we will not take a premium pretending otherwise.
Parallel county charges
If a county case is also filed, we post that bond and tell you plainly that it resolves only the county side.
How To Post Bail At Western Region Detention Facility
Premium on a California bail bond is set by the rate filed with the Department of Insurance under Cal. Ins. Code §1800, the starting figure comes from the San Diego County Superior Court felony and misdemeanor bail schedule, and review or reduction runs under Penal Code §1270.1.
We do not post county bail bonds at Western Region Detention Facility, because county bail bonds do not work there. That is worth saying in plain language rather than burying it.
What we can do is read the booking, tell you which system has custody, and point you to the right one. If a county charge exists alongside it, we write that bond at 10% premium with 1% down on approved credit.
Armstrong has been doing this in California since 1968. Part of the job is telling people when they do not need us.
If A Court Date Is Missed After Release
A bond written at Western Region Detention Facility stays live through every appearance until the case resolves. A missed date can mean a forfeited bond and a bench warrant the same day, with a limited statutory window to bring the defendant back before the forfeiture becomes a judgment against the cosigner.

Who is writing this bond
A family that has posted bail in California since 1926
Cecil C. Armstrong opened our Glendale office in 1926. Four generations later, Bill Armstrong (CEO) and Nikki Armstrong (Co-CEO & Licensed Bail Agent) — the fourth generation of the family — still run the company, and our agents still answer the phone themselves. When you call about an arrest in Los Angeles or San Diego County, you reach a licensed Armstrong agent, not a national call center that hands your file to a stranger in another state.
