Century Regional Detention Facility
Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department
What this facility means for your search
Century Regional Detention Facility (CRDF) is the LASD women’s custody facility in Lynwood. “Lynwood jail” is a useful clue, but confirm CRDF by name before making plans.
For a recent arrest, ask the arresting agency whether the person is still in local custody or has reached county custody. Do not assume CRDF is the destination based only on the person’s gender or the city of arrest.
Check where someone is being held
Check LASD's custody page for the current lookup service and contact options. Confirm the current location before making a trip.
Open official custody information ↗Can’t find the person?
If someone said “Century” or “Lynwood,” ask whether they mean CRDF housing or a station booking inquiry. Ask staff to spell out the facility name and identify the office responsible for the next update.
At our October 19, 2026 review, LASD’s custody page reported its locator unavailable and listed the IRC public windows as alternatives. Check the original page for changes.

Check LASD’s current options ↗An empty result does not confirm release. For an official call, have the full legal name, date of birth and booking number if known. You do not need to enter those details on JailAlert.
What to ask when you call
- “Is the person currently housed at CRDF, or is the inquiry still with a local or station jail?”
- “Which visiting appointment is available for this booking?”
- “Which office should handle a transfer, release or property question?”
Write down the call date, the office reached and whom staff directed you to contact next. These are JailAlert’s suggested questions; the agency must confirm the answers.
