Posting Bail at Silverbow County Jail: Options, Fees, and Who Can Post
Posting bond is one of the fastest ways to get someone released — but the process can feel confusing when you're stressed. Here's what Silverbow County Jail accepts for bond payments, how bail bond agents charge, and who can post on someone else's behalf.
Silverbow County Jail accepts cash, credit cards, and cashier's checks for bond payments at the detention center. If you're working with a bail bond company instead of paying the full amount yourself, the jail also accepts surety bonds secured through a licensed agent. The difference comes down to this: are you paying the bond directly, or having an agent secure it for you?
Note: Refunds depend on how the bond is posted. A cash bond may be eligible for some or all of the money back after the case is finalized, but a surety bond agent’s fee is not refundable.
Don't have the cash to cover the full bond? You can hire a bail bond agent to post a surety bond instead. At Silverbow County Jail, agents charge 10% of the total bail amount - and that fee is nonrefundable.
- Confirm you’re eligible to post - At Silverbow County Jail, any person over 18 can post bond on behalf of an arrestee.
- Choose how you’re posting - Either pay at the detention center using an accepted payment method, or work with a licensed bonding agent to post a surety bond.
- Bring the payment (or coordinate with the agent) - If you’re paying directly, you’ll need to provide the funds in one of the accepted forms. If you’re using an agent, the agent handles the surety bond paperwork and payment arrangement on their end.
Bond rules often depend on details you won't find in a quick search - the exact bond amount, whether a bond has even been set, and what happens to a cash bond after the case wraps up. For case-specific questions, call the detention center at 406-497-1050.
