Jackson County, Kansas Bail and Bonding in Holton
Bail in Jackson County, Kansas, is posted at the sheriff's jail at 210 U.S. Highway 75 in Holton, 785-364-2251, where a 2nd Judicial District judge's bond is accepted as cash or through a court-approved bondsman so the person is released.

1. Where the jail is
The Jackson County Jail is at the Sheriff's Office, 210 U.S. Highway 75, Holton, KS 66436; main line 785-364-2251, fax 785-364-4820. Correctional staff take bonding calls at 785-364-4121.
↑ Back to the question list2. Charges and amount
Ask correctional staff for the charges and bond amount. The sheriff's jail roster also lists each booking's charges, bond figure and arresting agency. More on our inmate page.
↑ Back to the question list3. Court
Jackson is one of four counties in the 2nd Judicial District, with Jefferson, Pottawatomie and Wabaunsee. A first hearing comes without unnecessary delay under K.S.A. 22-2901.
↑ Back to the question list4. Cash or agent
The sheriff's bonding steps: learn the charge and amount, choose cash or an authorized bonding agent, then tell correctional staff at 785-364-4121 what you decided. An agent must be approved by the 2nd Judicial District (K.S.A. 22-2809b). Kansas law also allows recognizance and property bonds (K.S.A. 22-2802).
↑ Back to the question list5. Cash bond fine print
If you put money online so someone can bond out, pick the BOND account, not the regular inmate account. The court takes cash bonds only in the defendant's name, so the money is not refunded to whoever posted it. If the defendant misses court it can be forfeited; at the end of the case it goes back to the defendant after restitution, costs, fees, fines or child support owed are taken out. Regular account money is covered on our money page.

↑ Back to the question list7. Release terms
Make each hearing. Person-offense charges add a minimum 72-hour no-contact order toward the victim unless the judge says otherwise.
