Processing time: Once bail is posted, the jail needs to process the paperwork and verify the funds before releasing the defendant. This can take anywhere from 30 minutes to several hours, depending on the jail's workload and staffing levels.
Use the Federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP) inmate locator to find out when a prisoner is or was expected to be released. To learn more details about an inmate, find out how to submit a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request to BOP.
Local jails (and other regional facilities) can and do release inmates at all hours of the day or night.
