Osborn Correctional Institution

Use the Official Jail Inmate Roster to search for anyone held at the Osborn Correctional Institution. You’ll be able to review their criminal charges and bond amount, find out when they can get visits, and view their mugshot. You can also call 860-814-4600.

Arrest Warrants in Connecticut

Connecticut keeps a public online list of arrest warrants issued by the courts when someone violates the terms of their probation, fails to appear in court on existing charges, or is ordered to incarcerate by a judge. The list is limited to those warrant types, so it isn’t a complete record of every warrant in the state.

Public Information on Court Cases

If you need to find information on a particular court case, most cases are available to the public online through the Judicial Branch’s case look-up. It covers the Supreme Court, the Appellate Court, and the Superior Court, including criminal cases across Connecticut. Juvenile, youthful offender, and sealed cases are not public.

Bail Bonds

Whether a defendant receives bail is first addressed at the police station. Police can release the arrested person on a written promise to appear, or set a bond. If the person isn’t released, an intake, assessment and referral specialist with the Court Support Services Division (the position formerly called bail commissioner) can review and adjust the bond. The judge decides at the defendant’s court appearance. If bail is ordered, it can be a cash bond, where the full amount is posted, or a surety bond through a licensed bondsman, who charges a state-regulated fee of 10% of the first $5,000 and 7% of the remainder.

FAQs

We’ve answered the most common questions about the Osborn Correctional Institution in our Frequently Asked Questions and Answers: how to find an inmate, how the jail roster works, and what happens after someone is arrested and booked. Need more help? Call 860-814-4600.

The Osborn Correctional Institution holds a license for 1927 inmates, but the actual count is often higher, especially on weekends. In Connecticut, there are no county jails. Every correctional facility is operated by the state Department of Correction, and several of them combine a pretrial jail and a prison under one roof. Men awaiting trial are held mainly at Bridgeport, Hartford, and New Haven Correctional Centers and at Corrigan-Radgowski Correctional Center, and women awaiting trial are held at York Correctional Institution. Cheshire, Garner, and MacDougall-Walker Correctional Institutions hold some pretrial detainees too. If your loved one is at Brooklyn Correctional Institution or the Cybulski Community Reintegration Center, they have already been sentenced, since neither holds pretrial inmates; Osborn and Robinson Correctional Institutions also hold almost only sentenced men. At the facilities with pretrial detainees, at least 35-40% of inmates turn over monthly, another 25-30% every 90 days, and another 15-20% every six months, while roughly 8-9% stay six to twelve months. Stays of more than twelve months usually involve serious charges such as murder or rape. Since preparing those cases for trial takes time, offenders arrested in Tolland County are held in state custody much longer.

How do you post bail in Tolland County?

If someone is taken to Osborn Correctional Institution in Somers for booking, the next steps depend on their case:

1. The individual may be released without bail, under a promise to appear at a court hearing.
2. They could be held in custody until their trial.
3. They may post a bail or bond for release. To find out the exact bail amount, call 860-814-4600.

Bail payments can be handled in various ways.

• Cash bonds are paid in full, normally at the jail's bonding window or with the clerk of court, by cash, cashier's check or money order, and card payments are often possible through a kiosk in the lobby or an online vendor for a convenience fee; have the inmate's full name and booking number ready, and reach the jail at 860-814-4600.
• Licensed bail bond agents in Tolland County can facilitate payment.
• Property bonds are available in many courts: an owner may pledge land or a home after proving clear title and equity of at least the bond amount (often double) with the deed and a recent tax or appraisal figure, and the court that set bail decides whether to accept it.
