How bail works in Marion County
A person arrested in Marion County is booked into the Marion-Hardin Multi-County Correctional Center (MCCC), 1514 Victory Road, Marion, OH 43302 (740-387-7434), the jail shared by the Marion and Hardin County Sheriff's Offices. After booking, the defendant is brought before a court for arraignment, where a judge sets bond. Most misdemeanor and traffic cases, and the initial appearance/arraignment for felonies, are heard in Marion Municipal Court (233 W. Center Street, Marion). Misdemeanors are resolved in Municipal Court; felony cases, after a preliminary hearing or grand jury indictment, are bound over to the Marion County Court of Common Pleas (100 N. Main Street, Marion) for further proceedings. Judges may set bond as a personal recognizance (OR) bond, an unsecured/own-recognizance release, a cash bond, or a surety (corporate) bond, and may impose conditions of release. Bond amounts depend on the charge, criminal history, and flight/safety risk. Once bond is set, it can be posted at the appropriate court or, for Marion Municipal Court bonds, online; release follows processing at the jail.
