Frequently Asked Questions

What is the process for getting someone released from jail?
If a person is charged with a crime, such as a traffic violation, which has a cash fine, that person can be released from the Center upon payment to the Magistrates Office. Persons charged with crimes classified as felonies normally have higher bonds. Most bonds are set by the Magistrate as cash or surety bonds which requires the person to deposit cash with the court or place real property up as collateral. *Note: Each case or charge is different; therefore, the amount or type of bond depends upon the type of charge.

A bondsman may assist with this process for a fee; however, the Center will not make any recommendation or provide contact information for any specific bonding agency or agent.
When is visitation?
