Instructions on how to post Bail or Bond in Kenai Peninsula Borough

It’s important to contact Spring Creek Correctional Center at 907-224-8200 or the court where the defendant was charged as soon as possible since bail bond procedures may vary by jurisdiction. Confirming details with the Municipal or District Court will ensure you have the most up-to-date information.

Ask Spring Creek Correctional Center or the Kenai Peninsula Borough Court Clerk the following:

1. Is the defendant eligible for bail or bond?
2. How much is the bail, and are there extra fees?
3. Where can I pay the bail?
4. Are there any time restrictions for posting bail?
5. What types of payment are accepted (cash, credit, collateral, surety bonds)?
6. Is a bail agent required?

If the bail amount seems high, consult a lawyer or public defender to see if a reduction is possible. Starting the process quickly will help expedite the defendant’s release.

A criminal attorney or bail agent can handle the process for you, making it faster and easier.

Option 1 - How to Post Cash Bail at Spring Creek Correctional Center

The first option is to pay the full bail amount in cash, cashier’s check, or money order. Personal checks are not accepted.

Depending on the charge, the amount may range from $100 to $75,000 or more.

You can post a cash bond at Spring Creek Correctional Center or the court where the bail hearing took place. Going directly to the jail will speed up the process, as the paperwork from the court must be transferred to the jail.

Cashier’s checks and money orders should be made out to Spring Creek Correctional Center, the Kenai Peninsula Borough Sheriff’s Office, or the Kenai Peninsula Borough Court.

Money orders can be obtained at Western Union, Moneygram, or any Post Office.

Option 2 - How to Post a Surety Bond for a Defendant at Spring Creek Correctional Center

If you don’t have the full bail amount, a surety bond is an option. A bail agent posts the bail for you, and you pay a premium, which is usually 10-15% of the total bail amount.

For instance, if bail is set at $5,000, the premium will be approximately $500 to $750.

The bail agent may ask for collateral, such as property or valuables, to secure the bond if the defendant fails to appear in court.

By signing with a bail agent, you agree to pay the full amount if the defendant skips their court date.

Option 3 - How to Post a Property Bond for a Defendant at Spring Creek Correctional Center

If you own property in Kenai Peninsula Borough, you may be able to post a property bond using your real estate as collateral. All property owners must be present to sign the bond agreement.

To use property located outside Kenai Peninsula Borough, contact a local bail agent or defense lawyer for advice.
