Read through our Frequently Asked Questions and Answers for guidance on finding an inmate in the Hale County Jail, how jail rosters work, and what happens after someone is arrested and booked. If you still need help, call 334-624-3081.

The Hale County Jail is licensed to hold 91 inmates, though it frequently has to make room for many more, especially on weekends. Most city and county jails see a monthly turnover of at least 40% of inmates, another 30% every 90 days, and another 20% every six months. About 8-9% stay incarcerated between six and twelve months. Offenders who remain longer than a year are usually facing serious charges such as rape or murder. Since those cases take longer to prepare for trial, offenders arrested in Hale County remain in custody at the Hale County facility much longer.

Hale County law enforcement agencies arrest and detain approximately 1,820 offenders per year.

Paying bail for someone in custody in Hale County

Once someone is booked at Hale County Jail in Greensboro after an arrest, there are several outcomes:

1. They may be released without paying bail, agreeing to show up on a scheduled date.
2. They may remain in custody until their court appearance.
3. They can pay a bail or bond for release. Call 334-624-3081 for bail details.

Bail payments can take several forms.

• The full cash bond is paid at the jail's bonding window or at the clerk of court using cash, a cashier's check or a money order, while many jails add a card option at a lobby kiosk or through an online bond service for a fee; bring the inmate's full name and booking number, and call the jail at 334-624-3081 with questions.
• A licensed bail bond agent in Hale County can help cover bail.
• Many courts take real estate as security for a bond; the property owner must show clear title plus equity at least equal to the bond, often twice it, backed by a deed and a recent tax or appraisal value, and the court that set the bail gives final approval.
