Baldwin County's Primary Detention Facility

About Baldwin County
Corrections Center

Baldwin County Corrections Center is the sole long-term detention facility for all of Baldwin County, Alabama. Operated by the Baldwin County Sheriff's Office — sheriff.baldwincountyal.gov under Sheriff Anthony Lowery, the facility is located at 200 Hand Avenue in Bay Minette — the county seat.

With a 700-bed capacity and an average daily population of approximately 550 inmates, Baldwin County Corrections Center is one of the most significant jails on the Alabama Gulf Coast. It is one of only two accredited correctional facilities in Alabama and has operated for over 200 years in various forms.

Every person arrested anywhere in Baldwin County — by any city police department, by the Baldwin County Sheriff's Office, or by state or federal agencies — ultimately ends up at this facility. City jails in Daphne, Fairhope, Foley, Gulf Shores, Orange Beach, and other cities handle initial processing only. This is where extended detention happens, where bail is set, and where M&J Bail Bonds posts the bond.

Custody records are published through the Baldwin County inmate search. Court dates are published at baldwin.alacourt.gov and alacourt.gov.

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 Baldwin County Corrections Center?

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+

State Fees & Payment Options

Alabama state fees apply on top of the 10% premium and M&J discloses the exact total before you sign — no surprises. Visa, Mastercard, Amex, ACH, Zelle, and cash accepted, with payment plans and no-collateral options for qualifying bonds. See /alabama/payment-plan-bail-bonds/.

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 At Baldwin County Corrections Center

Corrections Center staff do not set bail amounts. Bail is set through the 28th Judicial Circuit — the county bail schedule for misdemeanors, a Circuit Court judge for felonies, and an Aniah Hearing for certain serious charges.

Misdemeanors — County Bail Schedule

Bail is set automatically after booking under the Baldwin County bail schedule. No judge appearance is required, and release is often same-day.

  • Bail can be available within hours of booking
  • M&J can post as soon as the amount posts to the system
  • See /alabama/misdemeanor-bail-bonds/

Authority

Baldwin County bail schedule

Felonies — Judge At Arraignment

A 28th Circuit judge sets bail at arraignment, typically within about 72 hours of booking. District Court holds the preliminary hearing on probable cause.

  • Class D through Class A felonies are usually bondable
  • We prepare everything before the hearing
  • See /alabama/felony-bail-bonds/

Authority

28th Judicial Circuit — Baldwin County

Aniah's Law — Bail Can Be Denied

For murder, robbery 1st, kidnapping 1st, burglary 1st, drug trafficking, DV 1st, and arson 1st, a Circuit Court judge can deny bail entirely after an Aniah Hearing.

  • Denial is not automatic — the judge decides after a hearing
  • 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 Detainees — 15% Premium

Federal defendants may be housed at Baldwin CC under a federal contract. A U.S. Magistrate sets conditions of release through the Southern District of Alabama.

  • Federal bonds carry a 15% premium, not 10%
  • Conditions of release replace much of the bail math
  • See /alabama/federal-bail-bonds/

Authority

U.S. District Court — Southern District of Alabama

Who Usually Qualifies

Release timing: after M&J posts the bond, release usually takes 2–6 hours. Summer beach weekends push volume up and can extend processing.

Who Doesn't Qualify Automatically

Bail conditions: a 28th Circuit judge may add no-contact orders, drug or alcohol testing, firearm surrender, travel limits, or pretrial supervision. We explain every condition before you sign.

Three ways out: a bail bond (10% to us), full cash bail paid to the court, or a rare PR bond from the judge. Call us and we will tell you which applies.
