Hawaii County INMATE DEMOGRAPHICS

The Hawaii County Sheriff recommends that you use a bail bond agent licensed to do business in Hawaii County.

• You can pay a cash bond yourself, or use your home in Hawaii County, or in some cases the state of Hawaii, but the benefit of using a bail bond agent is that they take responsibility for making sure the inmate shows up for court in Hawaii County, and if they don't, then they take the financial responsibility.
• The typical fee for a bond will be between 10-20% of the bail amount; usually 15%.  So if an offender has a bail of $10,000.00, their bond will be $1500.00.

Call 808-933-0428 to find out the exact bond (plus other fees) amount, or look it up online by looking up the information on the Hawaii County inmate locator.

Hawaii County Bail Bond Information

Because Hawaii County and Hawaii can change their bail bond procedures, it is always best to call either the Hawaii Community Correction Center at 808-933-0428, or the court in the jurisdiction (i.e. Municipal Court, District Court, etc.) where the offender was charged, and do this right after an arrestee has been booked. 

Ask the staff at the Hawaii Community Correction Center or the Hawaii County Court Clerk these specific questions:

1. Is the defendant eligible for bail or a bond?
2. How much will the bail or bond be, and what are the additional fees?
3. Where do I go to pay it?
4. Are there any days or times of the day or night when I cannot post bail?
5. What types of payment are allowed? Cash? Money order? Credit card? What types of credit cards? Property or other collateral? Surety bonds?
6. Do I have to use a bail or bond agent?

If you feel the bail is too high and you wish to get it reduced, contact a lawyer or the defendant's public defender and get them to look into what they can do to get a bail reduction. The sooner you get working on this the quicker you will get your loved one released. 

This entire process will go smoother and faster with a criminal attorney or bail agent handling it for you.
