Discharge Procedures

When you post bail, you will be allowed to go home after you get discharged. The discharge process takes anywhere from 15 minutes to many hours.

Also, how fast you get released can depend on whether or not you’ve been given a bond amount or if the judge still needs to decide on the amount of bail to be set. For lesser charges, you will simply be booked and get released without having to post bail. When you have served your sentence and are given a date of your release, you should plan to be discharged that morning.
