Release times vary from City Police Departments, Jail facilities, and County Detention Facilities. For example, a small police department may release a defendant within 10 minutes to an hour. A County Jail may take up to 6 to 8 hours.

If a case has been filed at the court by the District Attorney’s office and the bail amount is high, then you may want to seek the advice of an attorney regarding possible bail reduction. However, a bail reduction hearing cannot occur until there is an official case filed by the District Attorney. When a defendant is booked into Jail and held on new charges, the district attorney has 48 court hours to file an official complaint or else the defendant must be released. For example, if a defendant is arrested on a Wednesday, then the District Attorney has until Friday to file a case. If arrested on Thursday, they could be held until Monday or Tuesday. Once a case is filed, the bail could remain the same, be lowered, or be increased.

In most cases we can clear warrants with the court and set a new court date. However, each case is different. Call Iron Bail Bonds for more information: 800.590.7321

The defendant cannot be released until the Department of Justice identifies them.
