Yes. If the ex con was arrested in Los Angeles, and you know whether there were any enhancements or what the prior was for, you could probably determine what the initial bail is by consulting the Los Angeles County Bail Schedule here: http://www.lasuperiorcourt.org/bail/pdf/felony.pdf

Bail is always 'available' except in capital crimes. How much it is set at is initially in accordance with the published schedule, and then upon appearing in court it is up to the judge to modify up or down or deny.
