What is the process to pay bail for someone detained in Rice County?

After an individual is apprehended and taken to Rice County Jail in Faribault for booking, their release options vary based on the situation:

1. They might be released without bail, on the condition they appear in court on a scheduled date.
2. They may be detained until their court appearance.
3. They may be eligible for release after posting a bail or bond.  Call 507-332-6021 for the exact bail amount.

There are different ways to settle an individual's bail or bond.

• To post a cash bond, pay the full amount at the jail bonding window or the clerk's office by cash, cashier's check or money order; many facilities also accept cards at a lobby kiosk or through an online bond vendor for a fee, and you will need the inmate's full name and booking number (jail phone: 507-332-6021).
• A licensed bail bondsman in Rice County can assist with payment.
• Real property such as land or a house is accepted as collateral by many courts, provided the owner proves clear title and equity worth at least the bond, frequently twice the bond, with a deed and a current tax or appraisal value; the court that set bail signs off on it.
