What Is the Los Angeles County Inmate Reception Center?
LASD identifies the Inmate Reception Center as a temporary holding location. LASD provides separate IRC contacts for booking, release, cashier functions and inmate property. LASD also states that people arriving at IRC are screened for mental illness and other health concerns as part of general intake screening. A person’s presence at IRC does not establish a diagnosis, medical condition, security classification or offense type.
How to Find Someone Who May Be at IRC
Use the LASD Inmate Information Center for current custody information. Have the person’s full legal name and date of birth ready; a booking number can also help when available. Custody information may change while processing occurs, so confirm current information through LASD.
Recently Arrested — Why Isn't Someone Showing in the Inmate Search?
Following an arrest, booking and custody processing may occur before information becomes available or stabilizes in an inmate-information system. A person may not appear immediately. Check the legal name and use current LASD information; this page does not assume every recent arrest is transported to IRC.
Is IRC the Same as Twin Towers Correctional Facility?
No. The Inmate Reception Center and Twin Towers Correctional Facility are both listed at 450 Bauchet Street, but LASD maintains separate facility information for each. LASD identifies IRC as temporary holding with no visiting. Twin Towers has separate facility contact and visiting information. Sharing an address does not make them the same LASD operation.

450 Bauchet Street
Inmate Reception Center and Twin Towers Correctional Facility
IRC and Twin Towers share the 450 Bauchet Street address but are separately identified by LASD. Check the LASD inmate information system for a person’s current custody information rather than relying on an address alone.
Money-Account Withdrawals and IRC Cashier Information
LASD states that an incarcerated person must obtain a Money Release Form ("pink slip") from on-duty custody staff and submit it for processing. LASD states that withdrawals are processed through IRC/CRDF. LASD currently states that withdrawals are typically available within 24–48 hours after submission. This is guidance, not a guaranteed completion time; confirm current status with LASD.
Questions About Inmate Property at IRC
For current questions about inmate property, contact the IRC Inmate Property line. The LASD information reviewed for this page did not establish enough current detail to publish general third-party property-pickup instructions, including hours, authorization, identification, eligibility or physical pickup procedures.
(213) 893-5352Can You Visit Someone at the Inmate Reception Center?
LASD identifies IRC as “NO VISITING — TEMPORARY HOLDING.” Do not apply Twin Towers visiting procedures to IRC. The general visiting guide may help when a person’s current facility permits visiting.

No IRC-specific inmate mailing address was verified for this page. First verify the person’s current custody location through LASD, then follow current mail requirements for the appropriate facility or custody system. General county-custody mail guidance is not an IRC-specific mailing address.
