A judge sets the bail; the Pickens Street jail only carries out the order. Amounts track Alabama's bond schedule. A "no bond" note means a judge must act first, perhaps on an Aniah's Law request for a violent charge.

Cash, a bail company, property or signature bonds are possible, and the state collects 3.5% and $35. See the Perry bail guide.

• Right after arrest, fingerprints go to federal databases. If ICE thinks the person could be removable, it may send an I-247A detainer.
• The hold request asks the Marion jail to detain the inmate a maximum of 48 hours past their release time. Saturday won't stop the count.
• A paid bail won't clear the detainer; it just starts the 48 hours.
• During that window, ICE may arrive to take custody. If ICE doesn't show up, that means they are released.
• Check the ICE locator using an A-number plus home country. If you don't know the number, fill in the full legal name, home country and date of birth.
• The agency sets the detention center, and it can change.
