John J. Benoit Detention Center
Benoit is the county's east facility on Highway 111 in Indio, holding people arrested across the Coachella Valley: Palm Springs, Cathedral City, Palm Desert, La Quinta, Indio, Coachella, and the desert communities beyond.
The distance between Riverside and Indio changes nothing. The application and agreement happen by phone or email, the bond is posted at the facility, and release follows the jail's own processing, usually hours. Festival weekend or a Tuesday in July, the phone gets answered the same way.
