How Bail Works at New Britain Superior Court

Most people who are not released by the police see a judge at New Britain Superior Court the next court day. Here is what happens, step by step.

Arrest and police lockup

After an arrest in New Britain or a nearby town, the person is booked by the local police and may be offered police bail.

Transport to court

If bail is not posted, the person is brought to the courthouse lockup at 20 Franklin Square, usually the next court day.

Pretrial interview

Judicial Branch pretrial staff interview the defendant and share information with the judge about release.

Arraignment and bail

A judge reads the charges, reviews bail and sets release conditions. Bail can be kept, lowered or raised.

Bond posted

Our agent posts the bond so the defendant can be released from the courthouse rather than transferred.

If bail is not posted

Men are usually taken to Hartford Correctional Center and women to York Correctional Institution until bail is posted.
