Here are the basic steps: visit the county jail's website, use a third-party inmate search tool, contact the jail directly, or check online court records. Each method provides a path to find the bail amount and plan for a loved one's quick release.
Visit the Jail's Website: Most county jails have a website. Look for a section labeled “Inmate Search” or “Jail Roster.” Enter the Details: You'll need some information like the defendant's name, booking number, or date of birth. Once entered, this should bring up details about the inmate, including the bond amount.
For example, in California, bail bond records are generally public and accessible via the Public Access to Court Electronic Records (PACER) system.
By law, courts in Ohio are required to impose the costs of prosecution on criminal defendants as part of their sentences. Court costs can also include community control fees, program entry fees, surcharges, and other fees. However, the court may waive those court costs if the defendant is indigent.
A bond is an undertaking entered into by an accused person to comply with conditions set by the court as a condition for his/her release while awaiting or continuing with trial.
If there are no other reasons, then my recommendation would be for you to ask his attorney to submit a Writ of Habeas Corpus to the court. This writ is a petition to the court that basically demands that they bring your boyfriend to court and allow him to have a bond assigned to him, as it's his legal right.
Yes! In California, bonds can be posted twenty-four hours a day, seven days per week. But whether you can bail someone out of jail at any time depends on their situation. When someone is arrested, they have a first appearance soon after.
