Fairfield County provides information on bond hearings held at the Detention Center on this page. A bond hearing is a legal proceeding where a judge determines if a person arrested for a crime can be released from custody while awaiting trial. The judge evaluates whether the defendant poses a flight risk or a danger to the public, but does not determine guilt or innocence at this stage.
Bond hearings are held at the Detention Center seven days a week. Bond hearings for charges that were issued by the Winnsboro Department of Public Safety are held at 8:00 AM and 4:00 PM.
Bond hearings for all other law enforcement agencies within Fairfield County are held at 9:00 AM and 5:00 PM.
A list of currently licensed bonding agencies can be found here as well as posted in the lobby of the Detention Center.
