Corrections Center

Baldwin County has a single long-term detention facility: Baldwin County Corrections Center, 200 Hand Avenue, Bay Minette, AL 36507. Every other facility in the county — Daphne, Fairhope, Foley, Gulf Shores, Orange Beach, Bay Minette, Robertsdale, Loxley, Silverhill, Elberta, and Summerdale — is a short-term city police holding facility used for initial processing.

City jails are short-term holding only. Fingerprints, photograph, warrant check, personal information — then transfer. After initial processing, all defendants transfer to the Corrections Center, and bail is set and posted there. M&J Bail Bonds handles every Baldwin County facility 24/7 — call (833) MNJ-BAIL immediately after any Baldwin County arrest.

Custody records are published by the Baldwin County Sheriff's Office — sheriff.baldwincountyal.gov. Court dates are published at alacourt.gov.

Baldwin County Court System

Courts That Set Bail For Baldwin County

Baldwin County is the only county in Alabama's 28th Judicial Circuit. Bail is a court decision — the jail cannot raise, lower, or waive it. Every state criminal case in the county runs through 312 Courthouse Square in Bay Minette.

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 by the 28th Judicial Circuit at baldwin.alacourt.gov, with statewide case and court-date lookups at alacourt.gov. Federal cases are docketed at alsd.uscourts.gov.

Missing a 28th Circuit court date 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

The 10% premium is fixed by Alabama law, but M&J works with families on monthly installments, co-signer arrangements, and collateral including real property and vehicle titles.

Accepted: Visa, Mastercard, Amex, ACH, Zelle, and cash. The whole process can run remotely — phone, e-sign, pay online. See /alabama/payment-plan-bail-bonds/ and /alabama/no-collateral-bail-bonds/.

What To Expect

What Does A Bail Bond Cost At A Baldwin County Jail?

Alabama law (Ala. Code § 12-19-311) fixes the bail bond premium at exactly 10% of the bail amount set by the court. The same rate applies everywhere in Baldwin County. M&J charges exactly that, and state fees are disclosed upfront.

01Misdemeanor, ordinance, minor DUI

Bail: $500 – $2,500

Your cost: $50 – $250

02DUI 1st/2nd, assault, drug possession

Bail: $2,500 – $10,000

Your cost: $250 – $1,000

03Felony DUI, felony DV, burglary

Bail: $10,000 – $25,000

Your cost: $1,000 – $2,500

04Robbery, drug trafficking

Bail: $25,000 – $100,000

Your cost: $2,500 – $10,000

05Violent felony, major trafficking

Bail: $100,000+

Your cost: $10,000+

Payment Options & State Fees

Visa, Mastercard, Amex, ACH, Zelle, and cash accepted, with payment plans and no-collateral options for qualifying bonds — see /alabama/payment-plan-bail-bonds/. Alabama state fees apply on top of the 10% premium and are disclosed in writing before you sign.

Read the statute: Ala. Code § 12-19-311

10%State-Set Premium

Premium rate verified by FindLaw →

Premiums are fixed at 10% by Ala. Code § 12-19-311 (published by Justia at law.justia.com). Federal bonds carry a 15% premium. Ranges above are illustrative only and are not a quote or a promise of bail.

Flexible Payment Options

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.

Bail Eligibility

How Bail Works Across Baldwin County Jails

No jail in Baldwin County sets bail. The county bail schedule covers most misdemeanors; a 28th Circuit judge sets felony bail; certain serious charges require an Aniah Hearing.

Misdemeanors — County Schedule

Set automatically after booking. No judge appearance required and release is often same-day.

  • Bail available within hours
  • Bond posted at the Corrections Center
  • See /alabama/misdemeanor-bail-bonds/

Authority

Baldwin County bail schedule

Felonies — Circuit Judge

A 28th Circuit judge sets bail at arraignment, typically within 72 hours of booking.

  • District Court holds the preliminary hearing
  • Class D through A felonies are usually bondable
  • See /alabama/felony-bail-bonds/

Authority

28th Judicial Circuit — Baldwin County

Aniah's Law — Bail Can Be Denied

Murder, robbery 1st, kidnapping 1st, burglary 1st, drug trafficking, DV 1st, and arson 1st can all result in bail being denied after a hearing.

  • The judge decides — denial is not automatic
  • We monitor the docket in real time
  • We post the moment bail is granted

Authority

Ala. Const. Art. I § 16, am. 2022 (Aniah's Law)

Federal Holds — 15% Premium

Federal detainees may be housed at the Corrections Center under contract. A U.S. Magistrate sets release conditions.

  • 15% premium on federal bonds
  • Southern District of Alabama, Mobile
  • See /alabama/federal-bail-bonds/

Authority

U.S. District Court — Southern District of Alabama

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.

Give us a name and date of birth and we will tell you which facility, which court, and what the bail is.
