Bail Bonds in New Haven, CT
— 24/7 Release from New Haven Correctional, GA-23 & New Haven PD
If someone you love has been arrested in New Haven, a bail bond gets them home while their case is pending. Instead of paying the full bond to the court, you pay a state-regulated premium — in Connecticut, 10% on the first $5,000 of the bond and 7% on everything above that — and Connecticut Bail Bonds Group posts the full amount. On a $25,000 bond, the premium is $1,900, and qualifying clients can start with as little as 35% down on a 0% interest payment plan, with up to 15 months to pay the balance.
Our New Haven office is at 171 Orange Street, 3rd Floor — a few blocks from the GA-23 courthouse on Elm Street and minutes from New Haven Correctional Center on Whalley Avenue. Once we post the bond at a New Haven police department, release usually takes just 15–20 minutes. At New Haven Correctional Center, releases typically take 2–3 hours, and at the courthouse, once a client is arraigned, release takes about 1–2 hours. Call (203) 663-3338 any hour, any day of the year.
Local Knowledge That Gets People Out Faster
“When bail isn’t posted at the police department, New Haven defendants are arraigned at GA-23 on Elm Street — usually the next business morning. If bail is continued and still isn’t posted at court, men are transported to New Haven Correctional on Whalley Avenue and women go to York Correctional in Niantic. Knowing where someone will be next is how we get them out faster — we’re often at the facility before the transport is.”

What a Bail Bond Costs in New Haven
Connecticut bail premiums are set by state law and regulated by the Connecticut Insurance Department — every licensed agency charges the same rates. Anyone quoting a rate the state doesn’t allow is a red flag.
| Charge level (examples) | Typical bond range at GA-23* | Premium at the state rate |
|---|---|---|
| Misdemeanors (breach of peace, 6th-degree larceny) | $500 – $5,000 | $50 – $500 |
| Mid-level felonies (3rd-degree assault, possession with intent) | $5,000 – $50,000 | $500 – $3,650 |
| Serious felonies (1st-degree assault, robbery, weapons charges) | $50,000 – $250,000+ | $3,650 – $17,650 |
*Every bond is set individually by the police department or the court based on the charge, record, and circumstances. These are typical ranges, not guarantees.
Payment plans: 35% down for qualifying clients, 0% interest, and up to 15 months to pay the balance as allowed under Connecticut law. We accept cash, all major credit and debit cards, and electronic payments.
How to Bail Someone Out in New Haven
— Step by Step
1. Call (203) 663-3338
Have the person’s full name and date of birth. If they’re at New
Haven Correctional, the inmate number speeds things up — but we can find it if you don’t have it.
2. We confirm the bond
We confirm the bond amount directly with New Haven PD at 1 Union Avenue or the
GA-23 clerk at 121 Elm Street.
3. We meet you
We meet you — at our Orange Street office, at the police department, or at the facility. The paperwork takes 30–40 minutes.
4. We post the bond
At the police department, release usually follows in 15–20 minutes. At New Haven Correctional, plan on 2–3 hours. At the courthouse, once the client is arraigned, release takes about 1–2 hours.
5. They come home
They come home with a court date. We send court date reminders, because a missed
date at GA-23 means a Failure to Appear warrant and re-arrest.

Yes. Qualifying clients can put down 35% of the premium and pay the rest over up to 15 months at 0% interest, as Connecticut law allows. We’ll go over the plan clearly before you sign anything — no hidden fees, no surprises.
The court issues a Failure to Appear warrant, which means they can be re-arrested at any time — even during a routine traffic stop. If that’s already happened, call us. We help arrange self-surrenders and post the new bond to minimize time in custody.

Domestic Violence
Connecticut law requires next-business-day arraignment at GA-23 for domestic violence arrests, and a protective order is almost always issued. We handle these cases discreetly and explain the conditions clearly.
Drug Charges
From simple possession to possession with intent, drug bonds in New Haven range widely. We post them all, at any hour.
Assault
Assault bonds at GA-23 scale sharply with the degree charged. We’ll confirm the exact bond and premium before you commit to anything.
