Arrest Warrants in Connecticut

Connecticut’s Judicial Branch posts arrest warrants online for violations of probation, failures to appear in court, and orders to incarcerate. This list covers only those warrant types, not every warrant issued in the state, so if you don’t find a name, there could still be a warrant.

Court Case Lookup

Need information on a court case? Most cases in Connecticut’s Supreme Court, Appellate Court, and Superior Court, including criminal cases across the state, can be searched through the Judicial Branch’s online case look-up. Juvenile, youthful offender, and sealed records are not available.

Bail Bonds

Bail decisions in Connecticut start at the police station. Following an arrest, police can release the person on a written promise to appear or set a bond. For those who remain in custody, an intake, assessment and referral specialist from the Court Support Services Division, formerly known as a bail commissioner, can review the case and modify the bond. The judge makes the final decision when the defendant comes to court. If bail is ordered, it can be paid in full as a cash bond, or posted as a surety bond through a licensed bondsman. State regulations set the bondsman’s fee at 10% of the first $5,000 and 7% of anything above that.

Frequently Asked Questions

Our Frequently Asked Questions and Answers walk you through finding an inmate in the Manson Youth Institution, understanding jail rosters, and what to expect after an offender is arrested and booked. If you have more questions, call 203-806-2500.

Licensed for 525 inmates, the Manson Youth Institution often has to make room for many more offenders, especially on weekends. There are no county jails in Connecticut; the state Department of Correction runs all of the state’s facilities, and many of them hold people awaiting trial alongside people serving sentences. If a man is arrested and held, he will most likely go to Bridgeport, Hartford, New Haven, or Corrigan-Radgowski Correctional Center. Women are held at York Correctional Institution. Cheshire, Garner, and MacDougall-Walker also take in some pretrial detainees. Brooklyn Correctional Institution and the Cybulski Community Reintegration Center are the exceptions that hold no pretrial inmates, and Osborn and Robinson Correctional Institutions house sentenced men almost exclusively. At the facilities that hold pretrial detainees, at least 35-40% of the population turns over every month, another 25-30% every 90 days, and another 15-20% every six months, with approximately 8-9% staying between six and twelve months. Inmates who stay longer than a year are usually facing serious charges like rape or murder. Because it takes longer to prepare those cases for trial, offenders arrested in New Haven County remain in state custody much longer.
