About The
Escambia County Jail
The Escambia County Jail at 316 Court Street in Brewton is the county's only long-term detention facility. Built in 1965 with a 153-bed capacity, it is operated by the Escambia County Sheriff's Office under Sheriff Heath Jackson. Arrests made by Brewton PD, East Brewton PD, Flomaton PD, Atmore PD, Alabama state troopers, or Escambia County deputies all funnel here.
Only Atmore operates its own city jail (201 East Louisville Avenue), and it holds misdemeanor defendants for a short period. Anything more serious — and anything requiring a county bond — moves to Brewton. Bail is never set by jail staff: misdemeanor bail follows the Escambia County bail schedule, and felony bail is set by a judge of the 21st Judicial Circuit.
Custody records are published by the Escambia County Sheriff's Office — escambiacountysheriffal.org, which maintains a Current Inmates roster and a 48-hour released list. Court dates appear at alacourt.gov.

The Jail Does Not Set Bail
Deputies and correctional staff cannot raise, lower, or waive a bail amount. Misdemeanor bail comes from the Escambia County bail schedule; felony bail is set by a 21st Circuit judge at arraignment. M&J monitors the docket and posts the bond the moment bail exists.

What Does A Bail Bond Cost At The Escambia County Jail?
Alabama law (Ala. Code § 12-19-311) fixes the bail bond premium at exactly 10% of the bail amount — the same rate across all of Escambia County. M&J charges exactly that, and state fees are disclosed upfront.
Charge Level
Avg Bail Range
Your Cost (10%)
01Misdemeanor, minor DUI, city ordinance
Bail: $500 – $2,500
Your cost: $50 – $250
02DUI, simple assault, drug possession
Bail: $2,500 – $10,000
Your cost: $250 – $1,000
03Felony DUI, DV felony, 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, Federal Bonds & Payment Options
Alabama state fees apply on top of the 10% premium and M&J discloses the exact total before you sign — no surprises. I-65 and US-29 drug interdiction in Escambia County generates federal charges, and federal bonds carry a 15% premium — see /alabama/federal-bail-bonds/. Visa, Mastercard, Amex, ACH, Zelle, and cash accepted, with payment plans available — see /alabama/payment-plan-bail-bonds/.

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.

How Bail Works At The Escambia County Jail
The jail holds; the courts decide. The county bail schedule covers most misdemeanors, a 21st Circuit judge sets felony bail, and certain serious charges require an Aniah Hearing before bail is possible.
Misdemeanors — County Schedule
Set automatically after booking, without a judge appearance. Release is often same-day.
- Bail typically available within hours
- Bond posted at 316 Court Street, Brewton
- See /alabama/misdemeanor-bail-bonds/
Authority
Escambia County bail schedule
Felonies — Circuit Judge
A 21st Circuit judge sets bail at arraignment, typically within 72 hours of booking.
- District Court holds the preliminary hearing
- Class D through Class A felonies are usually bondable
- See /alabama/felony-bail-bonds/
Authority
21st Judicial Circuit — Escambia and Conecuh Counties
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 Brewton docket in real time
- We post the moment bail is granted

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 where the defendant is held, which court sets bail, and what the bond will cost.
