Where Hennepin County Holds People Before Release

Hennepin County does not book everyone into one building. Downtown arrests usually go to the Hennepin County Public Safety Facility, while arrests made by suburban police departments can begin in a city jail instead. Call the facility to confirm your loved one is in custody, and ask for the booking number. You can also look the person up on the Hennepin County jail roster. If you are not sure which jail has them, call us and we will confirm the facility.

Bail is sometimes set on a standard schedule soon after booking, and sometimes it waits for a first appearance before a judge. Our guide to the first hours after an arrest in Hennepin County walks through what to do while you wait. Arrests also cross county lines, so if the booking happened in neighboring Ramsey County, call our St. Paul line at 651-222-3030.

How a Bail Bond Works in Hennepin County, MN

You pay a percentage of the bail, and we post the full bond for the defendant. That fee covers the service and is not refunded. We go over every charge before you sign, including any administrative, travel, or monitoring fees that apply to your case, and we offer flexible payment plans so the cost does not keep a family apart.

A bond guarantees that the defendant returns to court. It cannot be used to pay fines or court fees, and a co-signer is not responsible for those costs. A co-signer does agree to be financially responsible if the defendant does not appear. If a forfeited bond is never reinstated, the co-signer can be pursued for the full amount, and any collateral they pledged can be at risk, so we explain that commitment before anyone signs. For the basics first, see our bail information page. Bail bond information is always free.

Warrants and Pending Charges

Learning about a warrant at a traffic stop is the hard way. Call us first. We run warrant checks at no cost, and if a warrant turns up, we can arrange bail to clear it without additional jail time, depending on the warrant.

Some people leave jail without charges, with charges expected later. In that situation, we can set up a bond in advance for the charges that are still pending. If a case involves alcohol home monitoring, we can also post bail to remove it in the right circumstances.

After Release: Court Dates and Co-Signers

Getting out is only the first stage of the case. The defendant has to appear at every court date for the bond to stay in good standing. If a date is missed, we hear from the court first, and then we call the co-signer and work with the defendant to correct it quickly. A missed date can lead to a bench warrant and put the bond at risk, so write down every hearing the day it is set. Our article on what happens if you miss court in Minnesota explains the process.

Call Absolute Bail Bond Any Hour of the Day

The sooner we have the defendant’s full legal name and date of birth, the facility holding them, the booking number, and the charges, the sooner the paperwork can start. Call 612-333-3030 or toll-free 800-408-1101, or send us a message online. An agent will explain what happens next and begin on the same call.

Frequently Asked Questions

How Much Does a Bail Bond Cost in Hennepin County?
You pay a percentage of the bail amount the court sets, not the full amount, and the fee is not refunded because it pays for the service of posting the bond. Administrative, travel, or monitoring fees can also apply depending on the case. Payment plans are available.
How Long Does Release Take After the Bond Is Posted?
In many cases, release is underway within a few hours. The jail sets the final timing, and busy nights and weekends at the downtown facility can add time. Calling as soon as bail is set helps shorten the wait.
What if Someone Is Held in a Suburban City Jail?
Hennepin County bookings can happen downtown or in a suburban city jail, and the facilities are listed above. Tell us which jail is holding your loved one and give us the booking number if you have it, and we will confirm the bail amount and explain the next steps.
Is a Co-Signer Responsible for Fines or Court Fees?
No. A bail bond guarantees court appearances only, and fines and court fees are ordered separately by the court. A co-signer is responsible for the bond itself if the defendant does not appear, which is why we explain that commitment before anyone signs.
Can You Post Bail for a DUI or DWI Arrest?
Yes. We post bail for DUI and DWI charges the same way as any other charge. Bail can run higher when there are prior offenses, because the court weighs criminal history, the severity of the charge, and the circumstances of the arrest. Our DUI and DWI bonding services page has more detail.
