Municipal Court - Jail
Show All Answers
1.
Can I get out of jail if served with a bench warrant?
If the bench warrant has a fine and/or restitution amount, the full amount can be paid with a money order or with a credit/debit card. Cash is only accepted at Municipal Court 426 N Main Street. The Municipal Court Detention Center Office (20 McGee Street) no longer accepts cash. Personal checks are not accepted.
Once the amount has been paid in full, you can be released from jail. If it does not have an amount, you will be brought before a municipal judge at the courthouse.
2.
What happens if I go to jail?
If you are taken to jail between 6 a.m. and 11 p.m., you will see a judicial officer. If you are charged with a non-capital offense, you will be processed and released (without going into the jail) unless you have failed to appear for court before or you present a danger to the community.
3.
What is a surety bond?
A surety bond can come from a bondsman, a property with clear title, and/or friends or relatives who will make sure you will appear for court.
4.
Can I use my credit/debit card to post bail?
State statute authorizes the payment by credit/debit card.
5.
What is a recognizance bond?
You sign a bond form saying you will appear for court and follow any and all conditions until your court date.
6.
What if I am in jail and have a court date?
It is your responsibility to contact Greenville Municipal Court so you can be transported. If not, you will be tried in your absence and subject to contempt of court.
7.
How can I find out if someone is in jail?
You may either call 864-467-2330 or check online using the
Greenville County Detention Center inmate search.
