The jail can read the figure off the booking sheet. The clerk can give you the judge's order. A new charge or a bond hearing can change the figure after booking, so ask for the amount on each case number and add them up with the clerk.

The jail's listing points to a bonding window at the jail and to the clerk's office. Because the jail is in New Brockton and the clerk is in Enterprise, call 334-894-6200 first to learn which window takes payment today and its closing time. Have ready a photo ID, the full amount and the inmate's legal name.

Expect cash, cashier's checks, and money orders. Cards may be taken at a kiosk or through an online service, usually with a fee. Ask whether a card payment is applied to the bond or only to the inmate's commissary account. That one question can save you from paying twice.

A licensed agent pays the court a promise and charges you a fee you do not get back. Get the fee, collateral terms and missed-court costs in writing. The agent must be licensed in Alabama, and the court must accept that agent's paperwork.

Some courts take real property. Expect to show a deed, clear title, and the equity left after loans. All deed holders need to sign. Ask the circuit clerk in Enterprise at 334-347-2519 whether land outside Coffee County will be accepted before you collect papers.

Enterprise and Elba each have a police department, and other towns have officers too. If the arrest was by a city officer, call that city's police; for a deputy's arrest, call the sheriff's office. A city officer can book someone for a city offense, and the county jail may take them afterward.

Most adults holding state or federal ID plus the case number may post cash. For surety bonds, co-signers are the agent's call. Land bonds require each listed owner present.

Back to questions ↑

Reductions come only from a judge. A lawyer files a request, then speaks for the person at a hearing, usually about steady work, family, and a home address. Sheriff's staff cannot change a number. Short on money for counsel? The clerk explains how to request a court-appointed lawyer.

Bail can be refused for capital cases, and Aniah's Law lets judges refuse it after a hearing for listed violent offenses. Release may also stall over probation holds or outside warrants. Ask for the court order, since the roster does not give reasons.

Back to questions ↑

After payment, the court must accept the bond and the jail must clear every charge. Busy nights, weekends, and extra warrants slow it down. Call 334-894-6200 and ask how long release is taking before you leave.

Back to questions ↑

Missing court can mean a fresh warrant plus a forfeited bond. The person should speak to a lawyer first, and then ask the clerk at 334-347-2519 about a new date. The clerk's court site lists the Enterprise and Elba offices.

Once the case closes, the court usually refunds cash minus fines and costs. A bail agent keeps the fee. Keep your receipt, the case number, and the clerk's name.

Back to questions ↑

There can be a filing fee, a card fee, and a bail agent's fee. Court costs may come later. Ask the office taking your money for the total in writing.
