When a person is arrested in Orange County, they are transported to the Orange County Detention Center located on Revere Road in Hillsborough. The detention center serves as the central booking and holding facility for all arrests made by the Orange County Sheriff's Office, Hillsborough Police Department, Chapel Hill Police Department, and Carrboro Police Department. After arrival, the defendant goes through the booking process, which includes fingerprinting, photographing, and entering their information into the jail management system.
Following booking, a magistrate reviews the charges and determines the bail amount. The magistrate considers several factors when setting bail in Orange County, including the nature and severity of the charges, the defendant's prior criminal record, their ties to the community, their employment status, and whether they are considered a flight risk. For most misdemeanor offenses in Orange County, bail is typically set between five hundred and five thousand dollars. Felony bail amounts can range from five thousand to fifty thousand dollars or higher, depending on the severity of the charges.
Once bail is set, the defendant or a family member contacts a licensed bail bondsman. Broadway Bail Bonds posts a surety bail bond with the Orange County court, guaranteeing the full bail amount in exchange for a non-refundable premium of ten to fifteen percent. After the bond paperwork is processed by the detention center staff, the defendant is released from custody. Release times at the Orange County Detention Center generally range from two to five hours, though this can vary based on the facility's current population and staffing levels.
