Release/Bail

Releases typically begin between 8–10 am on the last day of a commitment. If the commitment is two days or less, the inmate is released approximately the same hour that they were checked in or booked.

Bail is determined by the courts. If the court allows bail, inmates may be bailed out 24 hours a day. Some times of day are busier than others, so it may take a few hours. Bail information is detailed on the inmate roster. You may be able to pay bondable bail directly to the court in which they were charged.

If needed, weather-appropriate clothing will be given to the individual upon release. 

Public transportation stops/stations are nearby and free tokens for the bus are available (tokens do not currently work on TRAX).
