Bail & Bonding

Bail and bonds are set by the courts. Sometimes the arrested party will have to see a judge before they can be released on bond. A bail is primarily used to assure the presence of the accused for their appearance in court. Bond is how the bail money is guaranteed to the Court. You may post a bond using cash, credit or debit card in person, online at allpaid.com, or over the phone at 1-888-604-7888. The Hot Springs County code for allpaid is A0055f.

Surety bonds must be secured by a registered bondsperson. You can find a bondsperson in the yellow pages of the phone book; just look under “Bail Bonds.”
