Find your loved one

How to Find Someone in a New Britain Jail

Follow these steps to find out where a person is held and what the bail is.

Check the timing

If the arrest was in the last few hours, the person is most likely still at the New Britain Police Department.

Call the police department

For recent arrests, call (860) 826-3000 and ask whether the person is in custody and if bail is set.

Check court the next day

If police bail was not posted, the person usually appears at New Britain Superior Court the next court day.

Use the state inmate search

After transfer to a state facility, use the Department of Correction inmate search to find the location.

Call us anytime

We can confirm the location, the charges and the bail amount for you, usually within minutes.

Post the bond

Once bail is confirmed, we post the bond and the release process begins.

Getting them out

How to Get Someone Out of a New Britain Jail

The fastest way to get someone out of jail after a New Britain arrest is to post bail as early as possible. Posting police bail at the station means release the same day. If the person has already been sent to Hartford Correctional Center, York Correctional Institution or Manson Youth Institution, a bond can still be posted, but release can take longer because of processing at the facility.

A bail bond costs 10% of the first $5,000 of bail plus 7% of the amount above $5,000, the rate set by the Connecticut Insurance Department. We handle the paperwork, deal with the facility and keep you updated until your loved one walks out.

Staying in touch

Visiting and Contacting Someone in a Connecticut Jail

If your loved one is held at a state facility while the case continues, these are the basics from the Department of Correction:

Visitors must be on the inmate's approved visiting list
Video visits are scheduled through the state visit request system
Rules for in-person visits differ by facility and can change
Visits may not be available in the first days after arrival
Always check the facility page before you travel
