ARREST, BOOKING AND RELEASE

Since there is not a jail located at the Holtville Police station, when someone has been arrested in Holtville or the surrounding areas, they will most likely be transported to the Imperial County Jail located in El Centro. Depending upon the workload of the jail, the booking process can take anywhere between 2 to 4 hours.

Once the defendant is cleared, a bail bond may be posted. Because timing and bail bond procedures can vary, the bail bond paperwork should be started promptly to allow for release from the Imperial County jail as soon as possible.

If the defendant is not bailed out, he or she will generally remain in custody until the matter has been resolved in court.

After the bail bond has been posted, release time from the Imperial County jail can take anywhere from 2 to 6 hours.

BAIL COST AND PAYMENT OPTIONS

Our company can transact all bail bond paperwork via e-mail, fax or telephone. For additional convenience, we can also have a licensed bondsman meet with you directly at the jail. This assures that the defendant is being released as expeditiously as possible.

A bail bond in Holtville will typically cost 10%, which is mandated by California law. This is a non-refundable percentage of the total amount of the bail. As an example, if the bail amount is set at $15,000, your portion would cost $1,500.

Please call us to discuss all of your options. We accept Visa, MasterCard, American Express and Discover. And if applicable, we have several flexible payment plans for you to choose from. For more information, see our informative video on bail payment options.
