• Bail is the temporary release of an accused person awaiting trial on condition that a sum of cash money be lodged to guarantee their appearance in Cuyahoga County Court in Cleveland, Ohio.
• Once the defendant is booked and filed for arrest, a custody and bail hearing will be scheduled, usually within 48 hours.
• At the hearing the judge may issue a bail or bond amount. This bail or bond is a refundable sum of cash money paid to the court to provide incentive for the defendant to attend all scheduled court hearings.
• Cleveland Municipal Court bonds are issued at the City Clerk of Courts office on the 3rd floor of the Justice Center (216.664.4790), and Cuyahoga County bonds are issued on the 2nd floor. The person’s name, case number, dollar amount, and court date will be written on the bond.
• Bonds must be taken to the facility where the subject is being held. Bonds may be returned if they are incorrect or if the jail Supervisor requests the Clerk of Courts to set a higher bond.
• A person released on a bond who has a hold (warrant) for another agency will be held and transferred to that agency if they are wanted at the time of their release from Cleveland, regardless of the court date set on the Cleveland bond.
