Greenup County Detention Center Inmate Bail & Bonds

Check the inmate roster or call the detention center at 606-473-9660. Jot down what the charge is, how much bail is, and the case number. Every booking gets a pretrial review, so the person may be released on their word before you need any money.

At the circuit clerk's office in the county Courthouse Annex, 101 Harrison Street, Greenup, KY 41144, on Harrison Street in Greenup, phone 606-473-9869. Call ahead to learn which payment types the clerk accepts for bond, because they can differ from those for fines. Bring a photo ID and keep every receipt.

No. Families pay the circuit clerk (606-473-9869) or the Laurel Street jail (606-473-9660) directly. Commercial bail is against the law in Kentucky (KRS 431.510), so nobody sells bonds there. Because the court keeps the deposit, most of it can be returned when the case is over.

At the Laurel Street jail (606-473-9660), a pretrial officer looks at the charge, criminal history and attendance record for each new arrest (KRS 431.515) and reports to the judge. A low score can lead to release with no money (KRS 431.066). Moderate cases may get supervised release.

A Greenup judge may grant release on recognizance with no money down, or set an unsecured sum payable only if the defendant misses court. Other orders require cash equal to 10 percent (KRS 431.530), cash for the full bail, or land that is valued at twice the bail (KRS 431.535).

A judge can let family members serve as sureties without a fee (KRS 431.520).

The district judge sets the amount, and the circuit clerk (606-473-9869) can confirm it. Courts must think about what the defendant can pay (KRS 431.525) and limit jail for a violation alone (KRS 431.062). Absent injuries, a misdemeanor bond is capped by the top fine and costs. A schedule covers some Class D felonies (KRS 431.540). On many charges, credit of $100 is given for each day served.

After the last hearing, provided none were missed. A 10 percent fee, $5 minimum, is held back unless charges were dismissed or the verdict was not guilty. Old fines may be taken out first. Ask the clerk at 606-473-9869 about timing and bring the receipt.

Rules can include no contact with a victim, no drinking, drug tests, an electronic monitor or check-ins. Not showing up for court can mean a warrant and, 20 days after notice, a lost bond (KRS 431.545). A defense lawyer may ask to loosen a rule that interferes with work.
