A bonds person may interview an inmate any time after bail has been set or after a change in the disposition of the charge results in a change of bail. The interview shall allow as much privacy as space limitations and security requirements permit. The bonds person or their representatives requesting an interview shall present proper credentials and satisfactory identification before being allowed to interview an inmate. Bonds persons with proper credentials shall not be denied access to any Court Services lockup interview area.
At lockups without secure interview rooms, where the interview involves a highly dangerous inmate and there is advance knowledge that bail will be set, have the bonds person interview the inmate after his return to the Custody Division.
Bonds persons may not give anything, including a business card to an inmate. They may request that an additional person be permitted to participate in an interview with the inmate. Personnel receiving this request shall immediately notify the Branch Supervisor.
