How bail works in Monroe County
In Monroe County, Ohio, bail is set by a judge based on Ohio Criminal Rule 46. After an arrest, the accused is booked into the Monroe County Correctional Facility in Woodsfield and held pending an initial appearance. For misdemeanor and traffic charges, the Monroe County Court (county court, Judge Jason A. Yoss) sets bond and may use a published bond schedule; for felony charges, bond is set by the Monroe County Court of Common Pleas (Judge Julie R. Selmon). A judge may release a defendant on a personal recognizance (own-recognizance) bond, set a cash or surety bond, or impose conditions of release. A licensed bail bond agent (surety) can post a surety bond for a non-refundable premium, or a cash bond may be posted directly. To confirm a bond amount, how it can be posted, accepted payment methods, and where to post it, contact the appropriate court clerk or the Sheriff's Office at 740-472-1612 before traveling, because procedures and accepted forms of payment can vary. Note: jail commissary/inmate-deposit kiosks are for inmate accounts, not for posting bail. This is Monroe County, Ohio (Woodsfield) — distinct from Monroe County, Michigan.
