HOW TO BAIL THE INMATE OUT

If you want to bail the inmate out to await his/her court date, follow these steps:

Call 360-397-2211 (24-hours-a-day).

If it is between:

8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. Monday

8:00 a.m. and 8:00 p.m. Tuesday through Friday.

A receptionist will answer the phone and assist you in finding out if your inmate has a bail and if so how much it is for.

If outside of those hours, dial the phone number, then listen for the prompt to state “Bail” or press 1. A corrections officer will answer the phone and can assist you.

You will need the inmate’s first and last name and if it is a common name, you will also need the birthdate (Birth year should be enough).

In most cases, bail can be handled with cash or with a bond company. Sometimes it will be ordered to be paid as cash, with no bond company allowed. The jail will let you know.

Cash Bail

If you pay cash, you must pay the entire amount and it will be returned to you after the inmate has appeared in court.

The correction officer will direct you about where to pay it and get a receipt. Typically, during business hours you will pay the court clerk, after hours you will pay it at the jail.

Bond Company

If you choose to go with a bonding company, you ask the jail for a list of local companies. They cannot recommend one.
Call the company and explain the situation.

If they agree to bond your inmate out, you will pay a fee to the company as well as percentage of the bond that will not be returned to you.

The bond company puts up the rest of the money to the court and the inmate is released to await the hearing.

How to find an Inmate already convicted of a felony and sentenced in the state of Washington

State Inmate

Most states have Department of Corrections websites that allow you to type in a felon's first and last name and pull up inmates in that state. Go to this page for inmates in Washington. If you need to find an inmate in another state prison system, go here.

When you click next to the inmate's name or on a link, it will show you which jail or prison the inmate is housed in. If the inmate is no longer incarcerated, but is on parole/probation or discharged, it will tell you that as well. In addition, many state prison inmate pages show recent mug shots.

Federal Inmate

The federal prison system has its own inmate locator called the Bureau of Prisons Inmate Locator.

Type in the inmate's name and it will tell you where he or she is incarcerated and their projected release date. It also lists released federal prison inmates and the date they were released.

Federal inmates who are moved from one prison to another will show as "No longer in federal custody" on the system until they reach their next federal prison destination. This movement can take a few days to several months to complete, so keep checking back to find out where the inmate was taken.

ICE Inmates

The ICE Detainee Lookup allows friends, family members and interested parties to locate illegal and/or undocumented immigrants that are in the United States without permission.

They are held in detention centers approved by Immigration Custody and Enforcement until their hearing or date they are deported back to their home country.

To look up the detainee, users need the full legal name the person used upon their arrest and the country the person claimed they originated from. It helps to also have the "A-number", which is the number that ICE assigned to them upon their detention, which you can use instead of attempting to type the detainee's name.
