Larry D. Smith Correctional Facility
Smith sits in Banning, between Riverside and the desert, serving Banning, Beaumont, and the Pass communities. It also receives transfers: it is common for someone booked at another county facility to be moved here, which is why families sometimes lose track of where their person is.
Finding them takes Karla minutes, and it costs you nothing to ask. Once located, everything else is the same as anywhere in the county: paperwork by phone or email, the bond posted at the facility, release on the jail's processing timeline. You never need to drive to Banning unless you want to pick them up yourself.
What happens right now
- Call. Karla confirms they are at Smith, or finds where they were moved.
- Short paperwork by phone or email, wherever you are. Payment plans get worked out here.
- The bond is posted at the facility and Karla stays on it until they walk out.
