Unlike several counties we've built pages for, Pima County actually publishes guidance about its release process.
The Sheriff's Department says most bond transactions are processed within an hour. It also advises that an inmate being bonded out will be processed as soon as possible during release hours, but release may take up to five hours. The Sheriff's Department states that individuals are not released between approximately 10:00 p.m. and 8:00 a.m. because of security procedures.
That's valuable information to put directly on this page because it sets realistic expectations without us inventing a timeframe.
