In New Castle County and every other court in Delaware, most criminal defendants charged with a non-capital offense are eligible for reasonable bail, while people charged with a petty crime or traffic offense typically have no monetary bail required. Under Delaware statutes, judges set bail by looking at several factors:
• The defendant’s financial situation and whether they are employed.
• Whether they’ve lived in the area for a while or have family nearby.
• The severity of the offense they are charged with.
• Their prior criminal record and past offenses.
The easiest way to find out an inmate’s bail at the Residential Cottages is to call the jail at 302-633-2622. Delaware courts accept cash, a surety bond, or a property bond, or can release an offender on personal recognizance.

After arrest, individuals are processed at Residential Cottages, where they undergo a series of steps that determine their charges and whether they’ll be released on their own recognizance, allowed to post bail, or held until their court date.
The first rule for anyone arrested is to remain silent. Anything they say can be used in court, so it’s best to speak only to an attorney about the incident.
