Understanding Bond Options at Greene County Jail (capias, cash-only, surety) and bail-agent interviews
Bond terminology gets confusing fast—especially when you're focused on getting someone out. Here's what Greene County Jail means by capias (no bond), cash-only bonds (full amount plus kiosk fees), and surety bonds through a bondsperson. We'll also cover how bail agents can request a brief inmate interview.
A capias warrant at Greene County Jail means no bond is available on that charge. The person stays incarcerated until they see a judge. If you're hearing
A cash-only bond means exactly what it sounds like: you pay the full bond amount directly to Greene County Jail. There's also a processing fee from the kiosk company handling the payment. If you're gathering funds, plan for both the bond itself and the kiosk fee that gets added at checkout.
Note: Kiosk processing fees can change. Confirm the current fee before you pay so there are no surprises.
When a surety bond is allowed, you work with a bondsperson instead of paying the jail directly. Typically, you'll pay around 10% of the bond amount as their fee - so a $5,000 bond would cost about $500. The bondsperson then posts the full bond on your behalf.
Bail bonding agents can request a 15-minute interview with an inmate at Greene County Jail. Make the request through the Reception Officer - don't wait for staff to initiate it. If the inmate has already contacted you, reach out directly to Reception to get the interview scheduled.
