Contacting a Defendant


Please be aware there is no way anybody outside the jail can initiate a direct contact with any detainee. It is just not possible for you or anybody else to call into the jail and talk to your loved one. You must wait for them to call you collect, or you can choose to schedule a visit if you wish to not post bail.

If a defendant has called you, let them know you have called Abierto 24/7 Bail Bonds and to not hire or work with another agency. If more than one agency becomes involved, a lot of confusion might occur, which will delay a defendant’s release from jail.
