The circuit clerk takes bond paperwork Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., at either 334-566-5113 or 334-566-4622. After hours or on a weekend, the Troy jail at 334-566-4347 says who accepts payment.

Ask the clerk before you go, since the answer depends on the bond type. Pike clerks want your photo ID, the inmate's legal name and an exact total; Troy offices favor cashier's checks and money orders over personal checks.

Be careful here. Money loaded through a jail phone, video or kiosk vendor buys calls and canteen items for the inmate and never pays the bond. Pay bond only the way the Pike clerk or jail tells you.

Call the jail at 334-566-4347 for the figure on the booking, then check it against the court order with the clerk at 334-566-5113. Your call goes faster with the inmate's birth date and legal name.

The judge sets the amount, often from the state bands in Rule 7.2. A cash bond means paying the full sum. Pike bail agents keep their fee for good, so get the fee in writing before signing.

A licensed Alabama agent can post a surety bond when the judge allows one. Check the paperwork on collateral and on a missed Pike date before you sign. Our bond steps page covers the basics.

Often, with the court's approval. The land must be in Alabama, the title must be clear and the equity has to cover the bond. Each owner on the deed should expect to sign at the Troy clerk's office.

Troy and Brundidge city charges get bonded at the city court instead of the county clerk. Troy Municipal Court is at 300 E. Elm Street, 334-566-4248, and Troy police answer at 334-566-0500. Brundidge court answers at 334-735-2887.

Pike releases can stall on an outside warrant, a probation case or an ICE detainer. Under Aniah's Law, a Pike prosecutor may request a Troy hearing to keep someone jailed on murder, first-degree robbery or similar listed charges, and Amendment 1, approved May 19, 2026, extended the list to attempted murder and firing at an occupied dwelling or vehicle.

A defense lawyer asks the court in a written motion, and a Troy judge holds a hearing. Job ties, family in Pike County and past court records can help. Pike defendants short on money may request a court-appointed lawyer.

Back to questions ↑

Missing a Pike date brings an arrest warrant and a forfeit notice, and a bail agent may start searching. Call the clerk at 334-566-5113 that same day about resetting the date.

Back to questions ↑

Once the Pike case closes, the court rules on what is returned. Court costs, fines or fees may be taken out first, so ask the clerk how the refund is mailed and to whom. A bail agent's fee is never refunded.

Back to questions ↑

A child under 18 goes to juvenile court, not the adult jail roster. Pike County Juvenile Probation, 334-566-5548, knows the youth's placement and the detention hearing date.
