Bullitt County Bond Information
Bullitt County offers several bond options for securing an inmate's release. Understanding these options can help you navigate the process more effectively and choose the best method for your situation.
Available Bond Types
- Personal Recognizance (ROR): Release based on the inmate's promise to appear in court without posting money
- Unsecured Bond or Surety Bond: A bond guaranteed by a licensed bail bondsman who charges a non-refundable fee (typically 10% of the total bond amount)
- Partially Secured Bond: Requires a cash deposit of 10% of the bond amount, with a minimum of $5
Important: All bond payments must be made in cash with exact change. The detention center cannot make change for bond payments, so be sure to bring the precise amount needed. Credit cards, checks, and money orders are not accepted for bond payments.
Bond amounts are set by judges during initial hearings and vary based on the severity of charges, criminal history, and flight risk. Some inmates may qualify for release on their own recognizance depending on the nature of their charges and their ties to the community.
