About the Orange County Intake Release Center (IRC)
The Orange County Intake Release Center — commonly called the IRC — is the primary booking and processing facility for the Orange County Sheriff's Department. Located at 550 N Flower Street in Santa Ana, the IRC is where most people arrested by OC Sheriff's deputies are taken first for booking, fingerprinting, and classification. After processing, defendants may be released on bail, transferred to the Men's Central Jail (OCMCJ), or held at the IRC depending on the charges and classification.

How to Bail Someone Out of the IRC
Call Us Immediately
Don't wait for booking to complete. Call 855-BAD-CHAD as soon as someone is arrested. We'll monitor the booking process and be ready to post bail the moment it's set.
We Look Up the Booking
We contact the IRC directly and search the OC inmate database to confirm the booking number, charges, and bail amount. You don't need to figure this out yourself.
Sign Paperwork From Your Phone
No office visit needed. We send all documents electronically — sign from your phone at home. No printer, no fax, no driving to our office at 2am.
We Post Bail at the IRC
Once paperwork is complete, we go directly to the IRC and post the bond. Most defendants are released within 2–6 hours of the bond being posted.
