How do Bail Bonds work at Yuma County Adult Detention Center

Bail or Bond is the temporary release of an accused person awaiting trial on condition that a sum of cash money be lodged to guarantee their appearance in Yuma County Court in Yuma, Arizona.

Once the defendant is booked and filed for arrest, a custody and bail hearing will be scheduled, usually within 48 hours.

At the hearing the judge may issue a bail or bond amount.

This bail or bond is a refundable sum of cash money paid to the court to provide incentive for the defendant to attend all scheduled court hearings.

Most misdemeanors that are not domestic related have set bonds.

If an inmate is charged with a felony, they will have to appear in court within 24 hours and a Judge may set a bond.

You may contact the Detention Center at 928-782-9871.

Select the option for Admitting and the Admitting Clerk will be able to tell you if an inmate is eligible for a bond.

If an inmate is not eligible for a bond, a court appearance (initial appearance) will be set.

The Admitting Clerk can provide you with the location and time.

When will the Cash Bail or Collateral be returned to me?

Money or collateral will not be returned until the defendant's court case is finished, so realistically it could take several months to years, depending on the severity of the charges. If a defendant posts his or her own bail, Yuma County Court may retain whatever amount of fines or fees have accumulated throughout the trial.

What happens to my Bail or Collateral if the Defendant misses Court?

The Yuma County Judge may order a failure to appear warrant for the person's arrest or the Judge may order a Bail Commissioner's Letter be issued that will be sent to the person with a new court date.

If cash bail was paid, the entire amount may be forfeited.
