The jail is the only full-service jail in the county and houses both male and female inmates 24/7. After booking, the defendant is brought before a court for initial appearance and arraignment, where a judge sets bond based on the offense severity, flight risk, and prior record. Most misdemeanor charges and the initial appearance on felony charges are handled by the Gallipolis Municipal Court (518 Second Ave., Gallipolis). Felony cases are bound over to the Gallia County Court of Common Pleas (18 Locust St., Gallipolis) following a preliminary hearing or grand jury indictment. Bond may be set as recognizance (own-recognizance/OR), unsecured, cash, or surety. Bond can be satisfied by cash paid at the facility's designated payment location, online, or through a licensed bail bondsman.
