After working with Stevenson Brothers Bail Bonds, an ID and references should be presented along with the payment. Once these items have been collected, our bondsman will complete the paperwork and submit the bond.
Then countdown for release begins.
Once our bondsman in Miami or Broward turn in the bond to the clerk at the jail, the paperwork must be reviewed by the officers inside the jail’s release department. Once all the paperwork has been verified and approved (no misspellings, etc.), then, the next time the inmate search is updated by the jail, you should see at the very end of the page that the bond has been submitted.
After the bond is approved by the jail, your inmate will be added to the release list, but getting out isn’t as easy as it seems!
Some jails can take a minimum of 4 hours. But with TGK Jail in Miami, release time can average around 12 hours to 24 hours until the inmate is released. Broward Jail averages around 8 hours for inmate release. (Please contact the agency for a time estimate if your inmate is expected to be released after 11 pm.)
If your inmate has no phone or their phone isn’t charged, then when they walk out of jail, they cannot easily call to let you know they’ve gotten out.
The best way to know if they’ve been released is to continuously refresh the inmate search site (of the county they’re incarcerated in) until your loved one’s name no longer appears in search.
Inmates usually walk out of TGK jail a few minutes after they are no longer on the inmate search.
