How long does it take to be released from jail once the bond is posted?
Every case is different. Timing of release has a lot to do with the size and capacity of the facility. Other details like what crime they were arrested or detained for also contribute to the timing. An inmate must be “booked in” before they can be “bailed out,” which can also take several hours. There is no exact answer to this question; however, once the bond is posted, it can take as little as one hour or up to 24 hours in some cases for an inmate to be released.
