If you need a bail bond, you need The Bail House

Bail House Bail Bonds (formerly Frank Calabretta's Bail House) has been serving Nevada County families for over 50 years. If someone you love has been arrested anywhere in the county, we can help. We have two offices — one in Nevada City and one in Truckee — that together cover every corner of Nevada County, plus Sierra County to the north.

The person who answers your call is local. Not a call center. Not a national franchise. Just a real person who lives in this area, knows the local jails and courts, and has helped hundreds of Nevada County families through exactly this kind of moment.

Nevada County Detention Facilities

Two facilities handle most bookings in Nevada County. We work with both regularly.

Nevada County Jail — Wayne Brown Correctional Facility. Located in Nevada City, one mile from our Nevada City office. Handles arrests from the western half of Nevada County. More information about Wayne Brown Correctional Facility.

Truckee Detention Center. Located inside the Nevada County Sheriff's Office building on Donner Pass Road, a half-mile from our Truckee office. Handles arrests from the Truckee and Lake Tahoe area. More information about the Truckee Detention Center.

For either facility, we can post bail 24 hours a day. Depending on jail processing volume, release typically takes 20 minutes to a few hours after the bond is submitted.
