Inmate Reception Center
Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department
What this facility means for your search
IRC is listed as temporary holding with no public visiting. Treat it as a place to ask about booking and current placement, rather than a destination for a family visit.
If someone said “reception” or “Bauchet,” first establish whether they meant IRC processing or a named housing facility. An arrest in Los Angeles does not by itself establish that the person is at IRC.
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?
Start with the agency that made the arrest if county booking has not been confirmed. Ask whether the person remains in its local jail, was released, or was transferred; if transferred, request the destination and booking number if available.
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
- “Has county booking been completed, or is the person still being processed?”
- “Is IRC the current holding location, or has a housing facility been assigned?”
- “Which office can confirm a transfer or release, and what booking number should I use?”
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.

Call ahead to confirm the correct entrance and whether you can visit.
Check public transit options ↗Before making the trip
- Do not make a visiting trip to IRC: LASD lists no public visiting here. If your purpose is property or another counter service, ask which office and entrance handle that task.
- Use the facility name as well as 450 Bauchet Street when confirming directions; Twin Towers is also listed at that address.
Parking availability, step-free access and a current visitor entrance have not been independently verified. Confirm them before leaving.
Visiting
LASD lists this as temporary holding with no public visiting.
Check the official instructions before arranging a visit. Confirm availability directly with the facility.
Sending money
The LASD custody page linked above also has deposit instructions. JailAlert does not process deposits or payments.
Transfers and release
A reference to IRC is not a release schedule. Before arranging a pickup, ask staff to confirm the release location, whether release has actually been authorized, and which office can give the next update.
