How Bail Works Here
Illinois ended cash bail in September 2023. A judge decides at the first hearing whether a person is released before trial and on what conditions, and no money is paid for release. A defense lawyer can explain the hearing.
What to Do Tonight
Find the booking first. You need the person's full legal name and date of birth. The booking shows the charge and whether bail has been set. Ask the jail or the court clerk how and where bail can be paid, and which forms of payment they take. Keep every receipt, because the court refunds bail after the case ends when every court date was kept.
