How do bail bonds work in Jefferson County, MS?

Upon arrest anywhere in the state of Mississippi, a person is usually processed at the local county jail. In order to be released from jail, several steps must occur, including being booked into jail and posting bail. When the bail bond amount is decided, you can call for a bail bonds agent to post the bond at the local jail. Now the release process starts and typically can take anywhere from 1 to 2 hours to complete. While cash bonds are permitted, it is normally not commonly done due to it's high expense. With a cash bond, you are required to pay the full amount upfront but you can get it all back after your court hearings. If you use a Mississippi bail bondsman, you will pay a fee which you cannot get back, but you only pay a small portion of the entire bail amount versus paying 100% of the bond via your own cash payment. Using the service of a bail bondsman typically requires collateral and someone to co-sign on the bail bond.

Prior to paying in cash or using a bail bondsman, you will want to explore the possibility of being released with no charges being filed. If you feel you have been wrongfully arrested, you can contact an attorney to fight the case with immediate release. It's rare that the charges will be dropped, but in some cases it can happen depending on the situation. The other option is for the judge to release you through Own Recognizance (OR) which is typically used for low-level offenses with individuals who are low flight risk and not a danger to others. The judge essentially has high confidence that you will return to court for your trial. If neither of these options are possible, a bail bondsman is typically the best route to take in Mississippi.

We highly recommend reading of our complete guide on how bail bonds work to learn more about the bail process. If you are attempting to bail someone out from another state, you can talk with your local bondsman - that's the bondman in your county, and not the state where the person is detained.
