Learning that your loved one has been arrested and taken to jail is terrifying. It can leave you feeling overwhelmed and unsure of where to turn.

If you are arrested for a crime, you may be released on your own recognizance and cited with a notice to appear, or you may be taken into custody. If you are taken into custody, bail will likely be set. Bail is an amount of money that is paid as a condition of your release. It will be held to ensure your appearance at future hearings. If you fail to appear the bail that you post may be forfeited.
The bail process in Las Vegas will depend on whether you were arrested for a misdemeanor, gross misdemeanor, or felony. Individuals arrested for a misdemeanor will likely be taken to the City of Las Vegas Detention Center. If you (or your loved one) are arrested for a gross misdemeanor or felony, you may be booked at the Clark County Detention Center.
You can post bail on behalf of yourself or someone else, but you must have access to the money required. If you cannot afford to post bail, you can solicit the help of a licensed bondsman.
In order to post bail, you will need a credit card or cash. At the Clark County Detention Center, you can pay with a cashier’s check or money order. In order to post bail on behalf of someone else, you must have proof that you can pay and a valid ID.
Payments accepted for bail:
Personal checks are not accepted at either location. It is important to obtain the necessary information prior to arriving at the jail or detention center. Working with an attorney can save you both time and money if your loved one is taken to jail after an arrest.
