Where to Pay a Cash Bond for Someone at Jackson County Jail (and how to find the exact bond)

Jackson County Jail lists several release options, and the terminology can trip you up if this is your first time. Someone might be released on recognizance (no money required), through a private bonding company, via a property bond, or by posting a cash bond. Which option applies - and the exact amount - depends on the person and the charge.

For cash bonds, you'll need to pay somewhere other than the jail itself. Jackson County Jail directs people to the Jackson County Clerk's Office or the municipality owed. Confirm the bond details before you make the trip - showing up at the jail with cash won't get the payment processed.

1. Call Jackson County Jail - Contact the jail at 256-574-1884.
2. Ask for the exact bond details - Confirm the exact type of bond required for the person (for example, whether it’s a cash bond or another option).
3. Confirm the amount before you leave - Get the exact bond amount so you can bring the right funds or go to the right place to pay.
