Hazel D. Plant Women's Treatment Facility Inmate Bail & Bonds
Hazel D. Plant Women's Treatment Facility: bail, release, and who to call
Hazel D. Plant Women's Treatment Facility holds adult women in a state treatment and work-release program at 620 Baylor Boulevard, New Castle. Most residents are already sentenced, so bail usually does not apply here.
To find out whether a woman is in custody, use the Hazel D. Plant Women's Treatment Facility Inmate Search.
For other questions, call 302-777-6800. Women waiting for trial are held elsewhere, and this page explains where, how a Delaware bond works, and who to call.
Is my relative at Hazel D. Plant?
Start with the Hazel D. Plant Women's Treatment Facility Inmate Search. Delaware's state lookup runs through VINELink, which shows custody status around the clock and can text or email you when the status changes. If the name is missing, the woman may be at a different Delaware prison, or the booking may be too new to show.
For questions the search cannot answer, call the facility at 302-777-6800.
Can a woman here be bailed out?
Usually not through this building. Hazel D. Plant is a Department of Correction treatment and work-release program for women who are already serving a sentence or an assigned program. It is not where women wait for trial. Bail applies to people who have not been convicted, so it rarely changes anything for a resident here.
If you think the woman has a separate open case, ask her lawyer. A court order, not a payment at this address, would be needed for any release on that case.
Where are women awaiting trial held instead?
State records say Baylor Women's Correctional Institution houses both pretrial and sentenced adult women. It sits at 660 Baylor Boulevard in New Castle, on the same road as this facility. To confirm where a particular woman is, use the Hazel D. Plant Women's Treatment Facility Inmate Search or ask Baylor's visit desk at 302-577-5837.
Do not assume the two buildings share records. Check each name on its own.
What is the Road to Recovery program?
It is the substance treatment program at Hazel D. Plant Women's Treatment Facility. It follows the Therapeutic Community model and includes work release. The facility opened in October 2005 as the state's first all-female facility of its kind.
Treatment placement is decided by the Department of Correction after an assessment, so a family cannot buy or arrange a spot. Program rules and length are set by staff. Call 302-777-6800 to ask what a resident may receive.
What is the address and phone number?
The facility is at 620 Baylor Boulevard, New Castle, DE 19720. Its main phone is 302-777-6800. The facility's own page tells visitors to use a newer entrance and says not to rely on GPS, so read its directions before the first trip.
The state lists the warden as Carole Evans on that page. Staff names can change, so ask the front desk if you need a name for a letter.
How do I set up a visit?
Call the facility at 302-777-6800 before you travel. The state's general visiting page covers only the four prisons, so visit days and hours for this program need to be confirmed with staff. Ask what ID you need, who is on the approved list, and what you may wear and bring.
Work-release residents may also be away at their jobs. Asking first saves a wasted trip.
Can I send mail or money?
The mailing address is 620 Baylor Boulevard, New Castle, DE 19720. Use the woman's full name and her inmate number on the envelope. Staff can tell you how legal mail should be marked.
Money sent for phone time or store items is not bail. It does not pay a fine or bond and will not free anyone. Ask at 302-777-6800 which deposit service this facility uses before you send money.
How does bail work in Delaware if a woman is arrested?
After an arrest, police take the person to a Justice of the Peace Court, often by video. The judge decides on release. Delaware law now leans toward release with non-money conditions, such as check-ins. A judge may require money only in exceptional circumstances, and must say why on the record. For help, read the court's own pages or ask the lawyer.
Where a judge does set money, a lower amount and the person's ability to pay must be weighed.
What kinds of bail can a judge order?
The Justice of the Peace Court lists four types. Own recognizance means a signature and a promise to return. Unsecured means no payment now, but the full amount is owed if she misses court. Secured means money or property must be posted first. Cash means the full amount listed on the order. The judge picks the type, not the family.
Frequently a bail agent posts the security for a fee. Read every paper before you sign.
Does Delaware have a bail schedule I can look up?
No published dollar chart for common charges was located, so this page gives no amounts. Judges decide each case on its facts, and the 2026 law asks for the lowest amount that is reasonably necessary. The amount you are quoted may differ from a neighbor's.
The amount is on the court paper. Ask her lawyer or the court clerk where the case is pending.
Where and when can bail be paid?
Justice of the Peace Court 11 in New Castle, at 2 Penns Way, Suite 100A, is open 24 hours a day, every day, and its phone is 302-323-4450. Court 20 in Wilmington, at 824 Market Street, Suite 210, is open Monday to Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., at 302-574-1500.
The court takes cash, check, debit cards, and Visa, MasterCard, or Discover credit cards for payments made to it. Court of Common Pleas bonds are posted at its clerk's office, Monday to Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Call first, because the right court depends on the case.
Can a bail bondsman help?
Yes, for a woman who has a bail amount on a new charge. Delaware bail agents must be licensed and registered with the courts. Under a 2013 state law, the premium on a surety bond over $1,000 runs from 5 to 10 percent, with at least 5 percent due before posting. The fee is not refundable.
The agent may ask for collateral, which must be reasonable for the bond size. Ask for the fee, the collateral, and the return terms in writing. Check the law with the Department of Insurance, since later changes could apply.
Can I use a house or land?
Sometimes. If property is posted, the judge most likely will require a title search. The Superior Court directive says a bond is usually secured by a civil judgment or a mortgage on the pledged property, and a person who pledges it must describe it and list other debts on it.
The rules we read do not say whether the property must be in Delaware. Ask the clerk of the court hearing the case before you start the paperwork.
When can a judge refuse bail altogether?
Delaware's 2026 law lets the State ask for detention without bail for listed serious offenses. They include murder, rape, first-degree robbery, first-degree burglary, and certain gun and domestic violence felonies. A temporary order may last up to 10 days. A hearing must follow within 10 days of arrest unless it is extended. The judge needs clear and convincing evidence that no conditions will keep people safe.
There are time limits, and a Superior Court judge can review the order right away. A lawyer is the person to ask.
What if she is held for probation or another state?
A probation arrest is a separate matter from a new charge. State law says the bail-release rules apply to probationers arrested for violating probation, but we did not confirm the exact rules. Immigration and out-of-state holds also block release. Ask the woman's probation officer or lawyer.
The facility desk at 302-777-6800 can say whether a hold is on file, but not whether it will be lifted.
How do I get a lawyer if money is tight?
Delaware's Office of Defense Services appoints counsel for people who cannot pay. In New Castle County, intake at the courthouse is 302-255-0130, and the main office is 302-577-5200. A woman who is detained has a right to counsel at her first appearance in a detention case, and an indigent person must have counsel within 24 hours of arrest.
If she has been held over 72 hours because she cannot meet money terms, the court must review the terms within 10 days. Ask the lawyer about it.
What if the person arrested is a teenager?
Juveniles are not housed in a women's treatment facility. For a New Castle County youth under 18 awaiting a hearing, the state's juvenile detention center is New Castle County Detention Center, 1825 Faulkland Road, Wilmington, at 302-633-3100. Stevenson House in Milford, at 302-424-8100, is the state's other detention center.
The state pages do not say which one serves a given county, so ask the lawyer or call both.
How do I avoid bail scams?
No court, prison, or agent frees a person in exchange for gift cards or an instant app transfer. Hang up on anyone who demands one. Phone the numbers on this page yourself, starting with 302-777-6800, and keep every receipt.
A real agent gives a written contract and a license number you can confirm with the Delaware Department of Insurance.
