How bail works in Madison County
After an arrest in Madison County, the person is booked into the Madison County Jail, operated by the Madison County Sheriff's Office at 23 W. High Street, London, OH 43140 (phone 740-852-1332). The arrested person is then brought before a judge for arraignment, where charges are read and a judge sets bond to secure future court appearances. In Madison County, misdemeanor, traffic, OVI, and local-ordinance cases — as well as the initial arraignment and bond hearings in felony cases — are handled by the Madison County Municipal Court in London. At arraignment, a judge or magistrate may grant release on recognizance (no money), or set an appearance, cash, or surety bond. Felony charges proceed through a preliminary hearing or grand jury indictment in Municipal Court and are then bound over to the Madison County Court of Common Pleas, which has jurisdiction over felony criminal cases. Bond conditions and amounts set at the Municipal Court arraignment generally carry over until the Common Pleas court reviews or modifies them. Confirm current bond amount, accepted payment, and posting procedures directly with the jail or court.
