About the IRC
The Inmate Reception Center is the front door of the Los Angeles County jail system. People entering Sheriff’s custody are processed here, including medical and mental health screening, before they are assigned to a jail.
The IRC is a processing center, not long-term housing, so it has no rated bed capacity. It shares its Bauchet Street address with Twin Towers, near Men’s Central Jail.
