A bond is a payment or pledge that guarantees a person will return to court. Per the Gwinnett County Sheriff's Office Bonding Process page, you can post a bond only after booking and identification finish. Read about how bail bonds work before you pay.

Accepted bond options include:

• Exact cash at the jail, because staff don't provide change.
• Money orders, traveler's checks, or certified bank checks, with no personal checks or foreign currency.
• Credit card payments online at cashbondonline.com.
• An approved bondsman or real property approved by the sheriff.

Arranging a release begins once a detainee finishes booking and identification, per the Bonding Process page. The person then moves to a holding area with phone access to set up bond. Call 770.619.6500 with any questions about a release.
