Why a Jail Visit is Vital for Your Loved One's Future

When your friend or family member has been arrested, they are cut off from communication with the outside world. Police investigators take advantage of this lack of communication and question your friend before they can have a jail meeting with a lawyer who will advise them to remain silent about their case.

A criminal defense attorney is vital in your loved one's case and often makes the difference between a guilty verdict and an acquittal or dismissal. During our Adams County jail conference with your friend or family member, we will help them understand they aren't alone and give them advise in jail about how the justice system works. They will be equipped with the knowledge they need to remain silent until they can be bonded out of the Adams County jail. The Aurora Police Department will rush to question your loved ones in jail – don't let them be alone. Contact an attorney at our office to meet them at the Adams County jail to protect their future.

Bail and Bonds:

The Adams County Jail allows bail/bonds to be posted as surety bonds, cash bonds and property bonds.

  • All bonds require an additional bond fee of $10.
  • There is a $40 booking fee following the arrest.
  • Occasionally, with court approval, a personal recognizance bond is permitted.

Note: There is a benefit to posting a cash bond; you will receive it all back in full at the end of the case, assuming the inmate obeys the conditions of bond, and appears in court. A surety bond, on the other hand, is like renting money for a fee  – you will receive back only a portion of what you posted.

Funds for Inmates:

You can put funds into an account for an inmate in one of four ways:

  • In-Person: Visit the jail with cash, U.S. Postal Service money orders, cashier checks and certified funds.
  • Online: Visit Access Corrections and create an account that you can fill with your credit or debit card (there are fees related to paying with a credit card).
  • Phone: Call 866-345-1884 to add money to the account (fees will apply).
  • Send: Send money by Western Union
