Who Sets Bail In Baldwin County
How Baldwin County
Courts Handle Bail
Bail is a court decision — never a jail decision. The Baldwin County Corrections Center cannot raise, lower, or waive a bail amount. It can only release a defendant once a bond is posted.
Misdemeanors typically follow the Baldwin County bail schedule, set at booking with no court appearance. Felony bail is set by a Baldwin County Circuit Court judge at arraignment, usually within 72 hours. Municipal ordinance violations stay in city court. Federal charges go before a U.S. Magistrate in Mobile at a 15% premium.
Baldwin County is the only county in the 28th Judicial Circuit, and both Circuit and District Court sit at 312 Courthouse Square in Bay Minette — the same campus as the Corrections Center at 200 Hand Avenue.
Court dates and case records are published at alacourt.gov and baldwin.alacourt.gov. Federal matters are at alsd.uscourts.gov.

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.

Who Usually Qualifies
Most standard DUI defendants qualify for bail once booking is complete and bail has been set, especially when there is no serious injury allegation, no active hold, and a responsible cosigner is available.
Who Doesn't Qualify Automatically
Bail can be delayed, increased, or denied when there is a judge's hold, an active warrant, a prior failure to appear, a serious-injury allegation, or no approved cosigner or collateral for a high-risk bond. Call us and we will tell you what is actually on the booking record.
Call (833) MNJ-BAIL and we tell you which court, what the bail is, and when the next date is — at no charge.
