Being a 3rd Generation bail bondsman we hear a ton of questions from people who are just not sure how the process works, the cost, and how to get their loved one released from jail quickly. One of the most common questions we hear “Is it possible to call the jail and contact my loved one?” The unfortunate answer to this question is, you can’t.
Jail don’t take phone calls
Jails are not set up to receive and answer calls regarding the status of every inmate. This would require an overwhelming number of calls, phones and personnel to handle such a task. You may ask, “If I can’t contact the jail, how do I know why someone is in jail, their bail amount or get them released?” This is where a bail bondsman comes into play. Thanks to the Eight Amendment to the Constitution , the right to be released from jail via bail was created. This was intended to allow a defendant time to prepare for their pending court appearance. Quite possibly, the defendant could have even been wrongly accused.

Bail bondsmen have been licensed and trained to know bail amounts for certain offenses, jail contacts, and the procedure for the immediate release of persons held in jail.
