Baldwin County, Alabama
Baldwin County sits on Alabama's Gulf Coast — the largest county in the state by area at roughly 2,027 square miles of land. It borders Mobile County to the west, spans from the shores of Mobile Bay southward to the Gulf of Mexico, and has grown from 231,767 residents in 2020 to an estimated 267,761 in 2025 — the fastest-growing county in Alabama. County government details are published at Baldwin County official website — baldwincountyal.gov.
Baldwin County contains 14 incorporated municipalities plus extensive unincorporated areas. Gulf Shores and Orange Beach are Alabama's premier beach resort cities — generating significant seasonal DUI and alcohol-related arrest volume. Foley is the county's fastest-growing inland city. Daphne is the largest city. Spanish Fort anchors the I-10 corridor on the Eastern Shore.
All defendants arrested anywhere in Baldwin County are held at the Baldwin County Corrections Center in Bay Minette — one of only two accredited correctional facilities in Alabama, with a 700-bed capacity and a jail operation dating back over 200 years.
M&J Bail Bonds posts bail across all of Baldwin County 24/7. The 10% state-regulated premium set by Ala. Code § 12-19-311 — Alabama's bail bond premium law applies the same in Gulf Shores as it does in Bay Minette.
Arrested anywhere in Baldwin County?
Call (833) MNJ-BAIL or (251) 421-1834. Give us the name, date of birth, and city of arrest — we track the booking record into the Baldwin County Corrections Center and have the bond ready the moment bail is set.
Baldwin County Corrections Center
Every defendant arrested anywhere in Baldwin County — by any city police department or the Baldwin County Sheriff's Office — is ultimately held at the Baldwin County Corrections Center in Bay Minette. This is where bail is set and where M&J Bail Bonds posts the bond.
Primary Detention FacilityBaldwin County Corrections Center
200 Hand Avenue, Bay Minette, AL 36507. Main: (251) 937-0202 · Alt: (251) 972-6802 · Detention Office: (251) 937-0200 · Info: (251) 937-0361. Operated by the Baldwin County Sheriff's Office (Sheriff Anthony Lowery, appointed 2024). Open 24/7 with a 700-bed capacity and an average daily population around 550. One of only two accredited correctional facilities in Alabama, with over 200 years of jail operation in the county. Inmate mail: 200 Hand Avenue, Bay Minette, AL 36507 — include the full inmate name and booking number. Inmate phones run through ICSolutions (transitioning from Viapath — confirm the current provider before setting up an account).
Booking Process
Booking at the Baldwin County Corrections Center covers ID confirmation, health screening, property inventory, fingerprinting, and photograph. Criminal charges are logged, warrants verified, and bail determined by the county bail schedule for misdemeanors or by a judge for felony charges. Call M&J immediately after the arrest — we begin the bail process before booking is complete.
Inmate Search
The Baldwin County Sheriff's Office maintains an online inmate roster at baldwinsheriff.com — searchable by name or booking number. You can also sign up for Alabama VINE (Victim Information and Notification Everyday) to receive custody alerts by email. Or call M&J Bail Bonds at (833) MNJ-BAIL — we check the system immediately, 24/7.
Release Timeline
After M&J posts the bond, release processing typically takes 2–6 hours. Misdemeanor bail set by the county schedule is often posted the same day as the arrest. Felony bail requires arraignment before a 28th Circuit judge — M&J monitors the docket and posts the moment bail is set.
Baldwin County Sheriff's Office inmate search at baldwinsheriff.com →
Where Bail Is Set
Bail is set at the Baldwin County Corrections Center once booking is complete — not at a city police department. Misdemeanor bail follows the county schedule. Felony bail is set by a 28th Judicial Circuit judge at arraignment. If you cannot find your loved one on the inmate roster right after an arrest, they may still be in city processing or in transit — call us and we will tell you exactly where they are.

License Suspensions & State Fees
License suspensions are administered by the Alabama State Law Enforcement Agency (ALEA) — view official license suspension information →. First and second offenses also carry a $100 Impaired Drivers Trust Fund fee (§ 32-5A-191.2).
Court Dates & Case Records
Baldwin County court information is published through the 28th Judicial Circuit at baldwin.alacourt.gov, and statewide case and court-date lookups run through alacourt.gov. Federal cases are docketed at alsd.uscourts.gov.
Missing a court date in the 28th Circuit means a bench warrant and bond forfeiture. Call us before a date is missed — it is far easier to fix in advance.
Payment Plans For Baldwin County Families
Many Baldwin County families do not have the full 10% premium available upfront. M&J works with families across all 14 cities and every unincorporated area on monthly installment plans, co-signer arrangements, and collateral options including real property and vehicle titles.
Accepted: Visa, Mastercard, Amex, ACH, Zelle, and cash. The full process can be handled remotely — phone, e-sign, and pay online, with no office visit required. See /alabama/payment-plan-bail-bonds/, /alabama/no-collateral-bail-bonds/, and /alabama/online-bail-bonds/.

What Does A Bail Bond Cost In Baldwin County, Alabama?
Alabama law (Ala. Code § 12-19-311) fixes the bail bond premium at exactly 10% of the bail amount set by the court — across every city and every charge in Baldwin County. The same rate applies in Gulf Shores as in Bay Minette.
Charge Level
Avg Bail Range
Your Cost (10%)
01Misdemeanor, ordinance, minor DUI

Your cost: $50 – $250
02DUI 1st/2nd, simple assault, drug possession

05Violent felony, major trafficking

Your cost: $10,000+
Seasonal DUI Volume & Federal Bonds
Gulf Shores and Orange Beach see significant DUI arrest spikes during summer beach season and major events such as Hangout Fest and the National Shrimp Festival. The premium is the same 10% year-round — but volume means faster response matters more, so call M&J immediately at (833) MNJ-BAIL. Separately, I-10, the Gulf coast, and Mobile Bay port activity create federal enforcement in Baldwin County: federal bonds carry a 15% premium — see /alabama/federal-bail-bonds/.

Premium rate verified by FindLaw →
Alabama state administrative fees are added on top of the 10% premium under Ala. Code § 12-19-311 (verified by FindLaw at codes.findlaw.com). M&J discloses the exact total before you sign anything. Ranges are illustrative only and are not a quote or promise of bail.

Payment Plans
For Real Families
Most families don't have the full 10% premium sitting in a checking account — and that is completely normal. M&J Bail Bonds offers flexible payment arrangements tailored to your financial situation so cost is never the reason your loved one stays in jail longer than necessary.
Payment Plans
We work with you on a payment schedule for the premium. Ask our agents about monthly payment arrangements when you call. No two situations are the same — we will find something that works for your family.
Collateral Options
Depending on the bond amount, collateral may or may not be required. Many DUI bonds — especially first and second offenses — do not require collateral at all. Ask us about your specific situation.
Multiple Payment Methods
We accept Visa, Mastercard, Amex, ACH / bank transfer, Zelle, and cash. Ask about which methods work best for your payment plan arrangement.
Important
The 10% premium is non-refundable under Alabama law — it is earned the moment the bond is posted, regardless of how the case resolves, even if charges are dropped. This is not M&J policy — it is Alabama state law (Ala. Code § 12-19-311). Our agents will explain this fully before you sign anything.

Start Bail ApplicationBail Eligibility
Who Qualifies For Bail In Baldwin County?
Most people arrested in Baldwin County are bailable. Alabama's constitution guarantees bail in most cases — but Aniah's Law created an exception for certain serious offenses, and federal charges follow a separate process.
Misdemeanor Charges — Almost Always Bailable
The county bail schedule applies, so no judge is required. Bail is set within hours of booking at the Corrections Center — DUI, simple assault, drug possession, petty theft. Release is often same-day.
- County schedule — no court appearance needed
- Bond can be posted 24 hours a day
- See /alabama/misdemeanor-bail-bonds/
Authority
Baldwin County bail schedule
Felony Charges — Usually Bailable
A 28th Circuit judge sets bail at arraignment. All four classes — D through A — are typically bondable unless Aniah's Law applies. M&J monitors the docket 24/7.
- Bail set by a 28th Circuit judge
- Preliminary hearing in District Court confirms probable cause
- See /alabama/felony-bail-bonds/
Authority
28th Judicial Circuit — Baldwin County
Aniah's Law Charges — Bail May Be Denied
Murder, robbery 1st, kidnapping 1st, burglary 1st, drug trafficking, DV 1st, and arson 1st can all result in bail being denied at an Aniah Hearing before a 28th Circuit judge.
- Judge decides after a hearing; denial is not automatic
- We check Aniah status in real time
- We post the moment a judge grants bail
Authority
Ala. Const. Art. I § 16, am. 2022 (Aniah's Law)
Federal Charges — Different Process
Federal charges go to the U.S. District Court — Southern District of Alabama. A U.S. Magistrate sets bail and a 15% premium applies. M&J is licensed to write federal bonds in Baldwin County.
- U.S. Magistrate sets conditions of release
- 15% premium on federal bonds
- See /alabama/federal-bail-bonds/
Authority
U.S. District Court — Southern District of Alabama
Who Usually Qualifies
Usually released same day: misdemeanors, first-offense DUI, petty theft, and simple possession booked into the Baldwin County Corrections Center.
Who Doesn't Qualify Automatically
Not automatic: Aniah's Law felonies, outstanding bench warrants, probation holds, and federal or immigration detainers. Call us and we will monitor the docket.

Baldwin County Arrest & Booking
What Happens First
Every city in Baldwin County has its own police department, but extended detention happens in one place — the Baldwin County Corrections Center in Bay Minette.
1
Step 1 — The Arrest
A city police department makes the arrest inside city limits — Gulf Shores, Orange Beach, Foley, Fairhope, Daphne, Spanish Fort and the rest. The Baldwin County Sheriff's Office handles arrests in unincorporated areas such as Point Clear, Bon Secour, Perdido, and Magnolia Springs.
2
Step 2 — Booking At The Corrections Center
Booking covers ID confirmation, health screening, property inventory, fingerprinting, and photograph. Charges are logged and warrants verified at 200 Hand Avenue, Bay Minette.
3
Step 3 — Bail Is Set
Misdemeanor bail follows the Baldwin County bail schedule — no court appearance required. Felony bail is set by a 28th Judicial Circuit judge at arraignment, and Aniah's Law hearings are held in Circuit Court.
4
Step 4 — Call M&J Bail Bonds Immediately
Call the moment you know about the arrest. We locate the record through the Baldwin County Sheriff's Office inmate roster and start the bond so nothing waits on paperwork. (833) MNJ-BAIL — 24/7.

Most Common Charges
In Baldwin County, Alabama
Baldwin County's geography shapes its arrest profile. Gulf Shores and Orange Beach drive among the highest DUI volumes in Alabama — especially during summer beach season and major events. The I-10 corridor through Spanish Fort generates drug and traffic enforcement. The growing suburban cities of Daphne and Foley see domestic violence and property crime arrests. Bay Minette's courthouse concentration means FTA and warrant arrests are common.
