Bail may be posted seven ( 7 ) days a week, twenty-four ( 24 ) hours a day, at the Will County Adult Detention Facility. Persons wishing to post bail for an inmate should present themselves at the Facility's Bond Lobby which is located on Ottawa Street. Only exact amount for bail is accepted.
Those conditions normally involve refraining from using or possessing alcohol, firearms, and drugs (unless prescribed by a physician) while out on bond, not violating any other laws while out on bond, and in cases of violence, having no contact with the victim in the case.
In some cases, the defendant may be considered a threat to public safety and denied bail. This is usually seen in cases where the defendant is accused of a hate crime, terrorism, or stalking, or if the defendant has a history of making threats or violence against others.
In Georgia, after an arrest, you are entitled to a bond hearing within 72 hours (not including weekends and holidays). During this hearing, a judge will decide if you should be detained or released pending trial. If you are not charged with a crime within this period, you must be released.
Defendants out on bond are often required to remain within a certain geographic area, usually within the state or county where the case is being prosecuted. Travel outside of this area is typically prohibited unless explicitly permitted by the court.
A bond cannot be reduced if the prosecutor is not willing and the judge rules in their favor. However, without an attorney now, she can submit a request to the judge. It is called A Motion to Request Reduced Bond. If she is on her own, she can just write it in letter form.
