The Bail Process in Washington County
Most people have never done this before. Here’s what it usually looks like.
- The jail books them in. At the Washington County Jail, that means a photo, fingerprints and a records check.
- Bond is set. Minor charges may have a set amount right away. More serious ones often need a judge first. The Marietta Municipal Court handles most misdemeanors, and the Washington County Court of Common Pleas, General Division handles felonies.
- Pick up the phone. We’ll ask a few quick questions: who it is, where they’re held and the charge if you know it.
- Sign the paperwork. We explain every line, so nothing comes as a surprise.
- The bond is posted. We handle that part directly with the jail.
- Out the door. Jail staff finish the release paperwork. Plan on some waiting.
- Stay on schedule. The bond only works if every court date is met.
Tip: if your loved one calls from jail, keep it short and don’t talk about the case. Jail calls are usually recorded. If you’re not sure what the charge is, don’t guess. We can usually find out.
What Bail Costs, and How Financing Helps
