How bail works in Jackson County
After an arrest in Jackson County, Ohio, the person is booked into the Jackson County Correctional Facility (372 Portsmouth St., Jackson, OH 45640; 740-288-1338), operated by the Jackson County Sheriff's Office. The defendant is then arraigned, typically in the Jackson County Municipal Court (295 Broadway St., Suite 101, Jackson, OH 45640; 740-286-2718), where the judge sets bond. Per the Municipal Court, bond is set one of three ways: a preset amount stated on the warrant, a preset bond schedule for the offense charged, or by the judge at the arraignment. Common bond types are an appearance (cash) bond requiring 10% of the full amount, a recognizance (O.R./unsecured) bond requiring only the defendant's signature, and a surety bond secured by real estate, securities, a full cash deposit, or a bail bondsman's surety power. Misdemeanor cases generally remain in Municipal Court. Felony charges receive an initial appearance/bond setting and, after a preliminary hearing or grand jury indictment, are bound over to the Jackson County Court of Common Pleas (226 E. Main St., Jackson, OH 45640) for further proceedings.
