The 8th Judicial District, which joins Marion with Dickinson, Geary and Morris counties, sets bond on state charges when the defendant first comes before a judge, which must happen without unnecessary delay (K.S.A. 22-2901).

K.S.A. 22-2802 lets the judge accept a signature (recognizance) release or a bond backed by cash, a surety company or real property, with conditions attached.

The agent needs approval from the 8th District's chief judge, must charge at least 10% and signs the bond in person at the Marion jail (K.S.A. 22-2809b). Premiums are not refunded.

Keep every setting and obey any no-contact order. For a person crime, contact with the accuser is barred for at least 72 hours unless the judge finds otherwise; violations can lead to revocation.

Defense counsel files a motion with the court on South 3rd Street. A defendant who cannot pay a lawyer says so at the first appearance; appointed counsel is funded by the Board of Indigents' Defense Services (785-296-6631).

At disposition, provided no setting was missed, less any lawful costs. Skipping court forfeits it (K.S.A. 22-2807).
