How bail works in Hocking County
After an arrest in Hocking County, the arrestee is booked into the Southeastern Ohio Regional Jail (SEORJ), 16677 Riverside Drive, Nelsonville, OH 45764, 740-753-4060 — Hocking County does not operate its own jail and houses inmates at this multi-county regional facility (serving Athens, Hocking, Morgan, Perry and Vinton counties). The defendant is then arraigned, where a judge sets bond. Misdemeanor and traffic charges, and the initial appearance/bond setting for felonies, are handled by the Hocking County Municipal Court in Logan; arraignments are held Wednesdays at 9:15 a.m. (video arraignments at the judge's convenience). For felonies, after a preliminary hearing or grand jury indictment, the case is bound over to the Hocking County Court of Common Pleas. Common bond types include recognizance (OR/personal) bonds, unsecured/signature bonds, 10% cash deposit bonds, and full cash or surety (bail-bondsman) bonds, set per the Ohio Criminal Rules and the court's bond schedule. Bond amounts depend on the charge severity, flight risk, and prior record. Confirm exact posting procedures with the holding facility and the setting court.
