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 surety bonds which requires the person to place property up as collateral. *Note: Each case or charge is different, therefore, the amount or type of bond depends upon the type of charge.

  • When is visitation?
  • What can I bring an inmate?
    The center will accept prescription medication, prescription eye glasses, and money. This can be brought to the center Monday through Friday anytime between 8 am and 4:30 pm. (Medication can be brought anytime)

Common Terms

  • Bond: Amount of money which must be posted to a magistrate and or Clerk of Court to gain a persons release from the center.

  • Work Credit: In most cases inmates who are sentenced and serving time at our minimum security building can receive a 2 for 1 credit against their original sentence. This means an inmate can get two days off his/her sentence for every day he/she works on detail.
