In Massachusetts, release is set by a court or bail magistrate. A personal recognizance release lets many people leave. It is a signed promise to appear in court, with no money paid. Other court options include unsecured appearance bonds, release on conditions, and pretrial and community corrections programs.

Since Massachusetts has no commercial bail agents, a family member or friend posts the full cash bail. On weekdays, the jail takes cash between 4 p.m. and 9 p.m., according to the Norfolk County Sheriff's Office Jail FAQ. On Saturday and Sunday, bail hours run from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. Release takes about 2 hours, and the bail commissioner charges a $40 fee.

Plan on about 2 hours for cash bail release at the jail. A court release without belongings still allows property pickup on weekdays from 9:30 a.m. until 2:30 p.m. The Norfolk County Sheriff's Office Jail FAQ says to bring ID and intake paperwork, since property is thrown out after 30 days. Call (781) 329-3705 with any release questions.
