First Appearance List

Most inmates are entitled to an initial appearance before a judge after arrest.

Due to the COVID-19, the First Appearance Schedule has been modified. To access the current First Appearance link, please select the Weekend/Holiday Link located under First Appearance Sessions.

First Appearance

Most inmates booked on a new offense will attend first appearance before a judge unless they are released on bond prior to the proceeding. If a person is not listed on the website, then he or she is not in jail.
