Henry County Jail
Henry books a high volume, especially on weekend nights. Release after a bond is posted can take longer here than in the smaller counties around it, and that has nothing to do with the bond itself. Call us early rather than waiting for booking to finish.
Four things let us start on the first call instead of the second: the full name of the person in the Henry County jail, confirmation that McDonough is where they were taken, their booking number, and what they were charged with. If you only have a name, call anyway. We can usually find the rest.
Once the charge is booked, bail is either set from the county's standing bond schedule or by a judge at a hearing. We confirm the amount with the jail, tell you the premium before you pay anything, and post the bond. A Georgia bail bond premium typically runs 10% to 15% of the bond amount and it is a fee, not a deposit. Some bonds also require collateral, which is released once the case ends.
After release, the defendant has to appear at every court date and follow the conditions set by the court and by us. Do that and the bond is exonerated when the case is over, whatever the verdict.
Henry County Superior, State and Magistrate Courts are at the Judicial Center, 1 Judicial Way, McDonough.
About 25 minutes north of our office on I-75. If you are already at the jail in McDonough, tell us and we will meet you there where we can. If you are out of the area entirely, or out of state, the paperwork and payment can be handled over the phone or electronically.
Call with the name and the charge. We will confirm the bond amount and tell you the premium before you commit to anything.
