Option 1 - How to Post Bail with Cash at Kodiak City Jail
A cash bond requires you to pay the full amount in cash, cashier’s check, or money order. Personal checks are not accepted.
Bail amounts can range from $100 to $75,000 or more depending on the offense.
To post the bond, visit Kodiak City Jail or the court where the bail hearing took place. Going to the jail directly will expedite the release, as paperwork from the court must be sent there.
Cashier’s checks and money orders should be made out to Kodiak City Jail, the Kodiak Island Borough Sheriff’s Office, or the Kodiak Island Borough Court.
You can purchase money orders at Western Union, Moneygram, or any Post Office.
Option 2 - How to Post a Surety Bond for a Defendant at Kodiak City Jail
If you cannot afford the full bail amount, a surety bond is another option. A bail agent will post the bond in exchange for a premium, typically 10-15% of the total bail amount.
For example, if bail is set at $5,000, the premium will be between $500 and $750.
Bail agents often require collateral, such as property or valuables, to secure the bond in case the defendant does not appear in court.
When you sign an agreement with a bail agent, you are responsible for paying the full bail amount if the defendant fails to appear in court.
