How bail connects to this court

People who post bail are released with a promise to appear at their scheduled court dates. Cases tied to this courthouse usually start with an arraignment within a few days of booking. Missing a date here can lead to a bench warrant and a new failure to appear charge, so it is important to know when and where to show up. When we post a bond, we make sure the co-signer understands the appearance obligations that come with it.

The paired jail
