John J. Benoit Detention Center Bail Bonds

The John J. Benoit Detention Center in Indio is the largest jail the county has ever built and the main facility for the Coachella Valley. Arrests in Palm Springs, Palm Desert, Cathedral City, Coachella, La Quinta, and the surrounding desert cities are housed here.

About this facility

• A four story, roughly 1,626 bed housing structure, it is the single largest detention project in Riverside County history.
• Named after John J. Benoit, a former county supervisor, state legislator, and California Highway Patrol veteran.
• Includes its own intake, transfer, and release areas plus medical clinics, which keeps desert arrests inside one campus.
• Pairs with the Larson Justice Center in Indio for Coachella Valley criminal arraignments.

Posting bail and release timing

The Benoit center handles the entire desert region, so release timing depends on how many bookings the Coachella Valley is running that night. Confirming the facility and booking number first prevents a wasted trip across the valley.

We post bonds at the John J. Benoit Detention Center around the clock. The fastest way to help is to call with the full legal name and, if you have it, the booking number.
