Bond Types in Crittenden County

Crittenden County accepts several bond types for inmate population releases. Cash bonds are the most direct. The full amount is paid in cash at the jail booking desk. The cash is held by the court and refunded after the case ends, minus any court costs or fines.

Surety bonds are posted through licensed bail bondsmen. The bondsman charges a non-refundable fee, usually 10 percent of the bond amount. The bondsman then guarantees the full bond to the court. If the inmate fails to appear, the bondsman is on the hook for the full amount.

Property bonds are accepted in some cases. The defendant pledges real estate worth at least double the bond amount. The court records a lien against the property. Signature bonds (also called PR bonds) are sometimes granted for low-risk defendants charged with minor offenses, with no money required.
