The 77th Street Regional Jail is a temporary detention facility for up to 200 male and female inmates pending arraignment. After their first court appearance, inmates are relocated to larger county facilities depending on their gender and whether they remain in custody. Inmates can make free local calls upon booking, and visitors are subject to specific visiting hours and policies. Inmates do not receive incoming calls or mail due to the short duration of their stay at this facility[3].
For those searching for other “77th” policing entities, there is also a 77th Precinct in Brooklyn, NY, serving northern Crown Heights and part of Prospect Heights, and a 77th District in Philadelphia, located at the airport. However, in the context of Los Angeles, “77th police station” refers specifically to the LAPD’s 77th Street Community Police Station and Regional Jail[4][6].
