There are three ways to post a bond for someone in jail. You can choose from the following options:
PROPERTY BOND: To post a property bond, you must visit the Tax Assessor Office to obtain a description of the property you intend to use for the bond. You need to provide the bond amount and check if the property covers the bond. Once you have the necessary paperwork, bring it to the Clerk of Courts Office to check for any judgments on the property. After completing these steps, submit the paperwork to the Jail.
CASH BOND: To post a cash bond, you need to pay the entire bond amount in cash.
SURETY BOND: A surety bond involves a bondsman posting the bond to secure the release of the inmate. You will need to pay the bondsman 12% of the bond amount, along with any additional fees they charge.
Visitation for inmates takes place on Tuesdays and Fridays from 10 am to 3 pm. Each inmate is allowed up to 2 visits on each visitation day. Please note that no cell phones, purses, or handbags are permitted in the visitation area. Ensure that you secure your personal belongings in your vehicle. Visitors are also required to pass through a metal detector before entering the visitation area and must present a form of identification.
