“Post Bail Now and Avoid Crowded CT Jails”

Posting bail is more important than ever because crowded prisons are the perfect hub for a coronavirus outbreak among inmates. The sentenced population has no choice, but someone held on bail, can get out. Post bail now! CT bail bonds are a legal way out of jail during COVID-19.

As of 2020 Connecticut was facing coronavirus. The number of infected residents was increasing by the hour, despite the efforts to implement social distancing. Most non-essential businesses were shut down, generating an outrageous number of unemployment applications throughout the United States.

Why Should You Post Bail Now More Than Ever

We contacted Drew Bloom, a first responder in his hometown but also a licensed bail bondsman at 3-D Bail Bonds for the past 23 years. No matter what he says, “the safest place for people to be right now is at home with their loved ones. This will allow the virus to run its course and affect the least amount of people.”

If you have a loved one in prison today, post their bail and get them out. The last place you want a loved one to be during a pandemic is in jail. Local police departments and county jails are not safe. Now more than ever, the jails are the most dangerous place to get infected with the new COVID-19 virus. Remember, all arresting agencies in Connecticut are allowing for bail bonds to be posted.

To guide, we are providing detailed information about the bail process at each arresting agency here:

Posting Bail at Correctional Centers in Connecticut

Bail posting at the Correctional centers is possible during the correctional operating hours. Here is what has changed due to coronavirus. Learn more by reading our CT police changes during coronavirus article.

• Be prepared to open your mouth if you are headed to a correctional center in Connecticut. They are checking the temperature of everyone arriving at the prison.
• The DOC staff and records are asking bail agents to minimize the number of people arriving at the jails. Preferably, they would like to only see the bail bondsman and the one family member to process bail at all correctional centers.

Post Bail Now in Court

Posting bail in Court is still possible. This includes court-set-bonds or post bail after the arraignment.

• Not all CT courts are taking temps, however; some agents reported that at some courts, Judicial Marshals are taking temps of prisoners coming into court from police departments and or correctional centers without any instruction. Marshals are also concerned about what if a prisoner doesn’t want to open his or her mouth. Read more at CT News Junkie.
  • Judicial Marshalls are not properly trained in EMS and could be unintentionally spreading the virus
• Now courts are limiting the number of people entering the building read more at Judicial website.
