What You Need to Know Before Posting Bond at Gwinnett County Jail
Posting bond feels urgent, but Gwinnett County Jail has rules that can slow things down if you're not ready. Here's how to show up—or pay online—the right way the first time.
Bond can only be posted after booking and identification are complete. Show up too early, and you'll be waiting until staff finish intake and the person is officially in the system.
After booking wraps up, the person moves to a holding area with access to collect-call phones. That's usually when they can reach out to family or friends about arranging bond.
The bond amount is set by the judge or court - not the Sheriff's Office. Staff at the jail can't lower the amount or change any court-ordered conditions. Questions about bond terms? Those go through the court.
