What to Know Before Posting Bail at Hempstead County Jail
Posting bail is usually straightforward once you have the right numbers. The key at Hempstead County Jail? Make sure the bond amount, charges, and case numbers are current before you pay or call a bondsman.
If you're checking the online roster to figure out what it'll take to get someone released, treat the bond amount as a starting point - not the final answer. Hempstead County's roster includes a warning: charges and bail amounts may change after court appearances and may not be current. What you see online could be different from what detention staff have on file when you're ready to post bail.
Before you post bail - or send a bondsman to handle it - call the Hempstead County Jail Detention Center and get the details directly from staff. The roster says bond companies and anyone wishing to post bail should contact detention staff at 870-777-7850 for the correct bail amount, charges, and case numbers. Have a pen ready. Write down exactly what they tell you. Those details will save you delays and confusion when money changes hands and paperwork gets processed.
Tip: Call right before you post bail. The roster warns that charges and bail amounts may change after court appearances and may not be current.
On the inmate detail page in the Hempstead County roster, look for a line labeled "Bond." One example booking shows "Bond: $2500." Use that field to orient yourself when checking the roster - but don't skip the phone confirmation step, especially if a hearing has already happened.
The same inmate detail page shows an "Original Court Date." In the example booking, it's listed as 03-10-2026 at 9:00 am. Seeing a court date helps explain why online information shifts - court appearances are exactly when charges and bail get updated.
Court appearances can trigger updates to both charges and bail amounts. The roster warns that information shown online may not be current afterward. If you're trying to move quickly, don't guess. Don't rely on a roster screenshot you saw earlier. Call the Detention Center at 870-777-7850 and ask staff for the correct bail amount, charges, and case numbers before posting bail.
