Charges on the Oconee County jail roster range from misdemeanors to felonies. Each charge carries its own bond amount. A person with three charges may have three separate bonds. The total bond is what they must pay to be released. Some charges carry no bond, which means the inmate stays in custody until a judge rules otherwise.
Understanding bond status is important when reading the Oconee County jail roster. A "bonded" status means the person posted bond and left the facility. A "held" status means they remain in custody. The Zuercher Portal updates these statuses as they change throughout the day.
