Instead, you post cash bail or a surety bond through a bail agent at the proper court or police facility. The Hawaii Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation bail policy also covers release on own recognizance and supervised release. See the Hawaii inmate search directory for statewide rules.
Hawaii County jail release time
Staff release someone on bail only after receiving court or police notice and a sealed bail receipt or bond release form. Under the Hawaii Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation release policy, officers verify the bail amount, report numbers, pending charges, and identity.
