Bail & Bail Bondsmen – How To Get Out of Jail

Of course, if you are locked up, your main thought is about how to get out. After you’ve gone through the intake process, your bail amount will be decided by the magistrate. If there is no bail set this may mean that you will either be released, or you are kept in jail until your court date.

If you are released from jail you are required to agree to go to your court date, and you are required not to leave the county.

Typically, an inmate will earn an early release in exchange for good behavior when they follow the rules and conduct themselves properly while they’re in jail.

If you follow the rules, you might be allowed to do work release. You will have to go back to jail each day after work, or you may be allowed to move to a halfway house instead of jail, so it is kind of like an early release.

Bail

Your bail is money that you are required to pay in order to be released from jail until your court date. The amount you will have to pay is determined by how serious your charges are. Someone you know will need to pay 10 percent of the total set before you can get out of jail. If you fail to show up for court, the person that bailed you out of jail will lose that money.

Find Out How Much Someone’s Bail Is

To find out someone’s bail amount you need to call the Douglas County Department Of Corrections. If you’ve got the pertinent information, such as name, address and date of birth, they’ll tell you the bail amount. You can also find out how much their bail is on the jail website.

How To Bail Someone Out of Jail

Having to bail someone out of jail is never fun, but fortunately, it is really easy if you have the money. First of all, find out if their bail is a “Cash Bond Only” situation. If it is, you can’t get a bail bondsman. Take cash only to the jail – the jail can’t accept a check. When you’ve paid bail, the person will be released into your care. If this person doesn’t violate any of the terms of their release, you’ll get your money back.

Bail Bondsman

If bail is set too high, or you can’t afford it yourself, you might need to use a bail bondsman. They will usually charge a fee of 10-15% of the total amount of bail set by the magistrate, and in most cases have a minimum charge of $100. This money will not be returned to you and is typically cash only. If their bail has been set particularly high, the bail bondsman might require that they use assets as collateral in addition to the fee they charge.

  • Also, you will also be asked about your psychological and medical history.
  • You’ll be given an inmate ID.
  • You will get fingerprinted.
  • You will have a front and profile photo taken for your mugshot.
  • Any property you have will be taken from you and stored until you get discharged from jail.
  • You will then be allowed to make a telephone call so you can talk to a member of your family, friend, or bondsman to arrange bail.
  • If you are expected to be released quickly, you might be allowed to wear your street clothes, if not you will have to change into a jail uniform.

Discharge Procedures

When you post bail, you will be allowed to leave jail. Getting discharged from jail may take between 30 minutes to all day long. In simple terms, the faster you can pay your bail, the sooner you will get released. Also, it might depend on whether or not you’ve been given a cash bond or if the judge must decide on the bail amount. For a minor offense, you will simply be booked and then released on your recognizance without having to pay bail. When you have served your sentence and know the date of your release, expect to get discharged in the morning.

How To Turn Yourself In

If the police have a, or if you need to report to start a sentence, it is recommended that you follow the rules and go down to the jail and turn yourself in. In the case of an outstanding warrant, go to the jail reception area, and tell an officer that think that there is a warrant for your arrest. They will do a record check, and if so, they will ask that you surrender yourself and you will be taken into custody. When reporting to serve a sentence, report at the time and date that the sentence order states. Ensure that you are not late to report. Just bring required items when you go to jail, like a driver’s license or even photo ID, prescription medication, as well as a sentencing order from court.

Visitation Procedures

In order to have visitors, inmates need to give each visitor’s name and date of birth to the jail in advance. Your visitor’s names will go in the visitation log for the requesting inmate. Each and every visitor must provide identification. Visitors arriving late or that does not have a visitation order will not be allowed to visit the inmate.
Jail visitation policies frequently change, so we suggest that you visit the jail site before you try to visit an inmate.

Visiting Hours

Phone Calls & Phone Usage Policy

The only phone calls that inmates are allowed to make are collect calls or through a pre-paid phone account. Jail phone calls are a lot more expensive than phone calls made at home. There are certain restrictions about when you can make phone calls, how long you can talk, and how often you can make calls, but you should keep in mind that you are just one of many people who want to talk to their loved ones. If you are disciplined for an infraction, your ability to use the phone might get reduced or totally denied.
