Trusted Bail Bonds Birmingham AL
Birmingham runs two separate detention systems inside one city. County and state charges go to the Jefferson County Jail on Richard Arrington Jr. Boulevard North. Municipal charges stay at the city jail on 6th Avenue South, and families calling at two in the morning often have no idea which of the two is holding their son.
We post bonds at both addresses, on weeknights and on Sunday mornings. We sit with cosigners in that lobby on Richard Arrington while the jail processes the release. Which charge it is decides which building. That one detail costs families time they do not have. When Birmingham families need a bond posted, they call Rush Bail Bonds.
Helping Birmingham Clients
Arrests inside the city limits come through Birmingham police, while county deputies work the areas outside them. Both feed the same two buildings. We work charges out of Woodlawn, Roebuck, and Ensley, from municipal traffic matters up to felony holds.
Most callers are not the defendant. They are mothers and wives working through it from a phone in a parking lot off Richard Arrington, and we start paperwork before the caller ever pulls out of that lot. Nobody gets judged on this end.
Jefferson County Jail Releases
The county jail on Richard Arrington Jr. Boulevard North takes felony and state charges from across Jefferson County. Our office sits four blocks away. That was not an accident.
We write bonds at that facility on any day of the week. Release after a bond is posted takes anywhere from one hour to six, and it depends on how many people came through intake on that shift.
Running a bail bonds service in Birmingham AL means knowing which shifts move and which ones crawl. Four blocks matters at two in the morning.
Late Night Arrests
A DUI stop on the Red Mountain Expressway after midnight. A Saturday night arrest in Five Points South. A domestic call in East Lake that ends with somebody in the back of a cruiser at three. We handle all of these across Birmingham, and the phone gets answered at Rush Bail Bonds no matter what the clock says.
Arrests do not keep business hours in this city. Intake at the county jail goes around the clock, and our paperwork goes with it. Somebody picks up at three in the morning.
Birmingham City Jail Bonds
Birmingham operates its own jail at 425 6th Avenue South in South Titusville, separate from the county system. Municipal charges and short city sentences stay there. County and state charges move over to Richard Arrington, and families lose time calling the wrong building first.
We write bonds at both jails in the same night. The two buildings run on separate systems, so getting bail bonds in Birmingham AL done quickly starts with the right address. Wrong building, wasted time.
Bail Bond Costs
Bonds set in Jefferson County start at a few hundred dollars on municipal charges. Felony holds climb into five figures. The fee is 10 percent of the bond amount plus a $35 jail fee, and on smaller bonds a minimum applies that comes to $150 plus the $35, or $185 total.
That $35 is a filing fee applied to the bond itself. The amount does not change with the size of the bond. No surprise numbers get added later at Rush Bail Bonds.
We also serve nearby Homewood, Irondale, and the Center Point corridor.
