How to Get Someone Out of Washington County Jail Tonight
Step-by-step 24 hour bail bonds guide for Washington County Jail in Marietta, Ohio: booking, bond amounts, surety fees, and same-night release.
If someone you love was just booked at the Washington County Jail in Marietta, Ohio, the next few hours matter. A licensed Marietta bail bondsman can often start a surety bond as soon as a bond is set — including nights, weekends, and holidays.
Washington County Jail is operated by the Washington County Sheriff’s Office at 101 Westview Avenue, Marietta, OH 45750. Arresting agencies include the Marietta Police Department, the Sheriff’s Office, Ohio State Highway Patrol, and village departments in Belpre, Beverly, New Matamoras, and across the county.
First, confirm the person is actually in Washington County Jail and not still in the field, at Marietta Police Department, or held for another county. Call jail information at (740) 374-7677 or ask our 24 hour desk at (740) 706-3330. You need the inmate’s full legal name, date of birth, charges, and the bond amount.
Bond is set by Marietta Municipal Court for most misdemeanors, traffic cases, and OVI arrests, or by Washington County Common Pleas after a felony bind-over. Some warrants already list a bond. If no bond is set yet, we still take the call and watch the docket so paperwork can move the minute a number posts.
A surety bail bond in Ohio is a contract. You pay a premium — a percentage of the court-set bond — and the bondsman posts the full amount with the jail or court so the defendant can be released. That premium is the cost of the bond; it is not returned at the end of the case the way a cash deposit sometimes is.
Bring a photo ID, a working phone number, and as much charge information as you have. Larger felony bonds may need a co-signer or collateral. Our Putnam Street office is at 200 Putnam Street, Suite 618, a short drive from the jail and two doors from the Washington County Courthouse.
After the bond is posted, release is controlled by the jail, not the bondsman. Booking, medical screening, and shift change can add time. We stay on the file until the person is walking out. The defendant must then appear at every Marietta Municipal Court or Common Pleas date. Missed court can mean a warrant, bond forfeiture, and a new arrest.
