What Families in GA-18 Need to Know Before They Call

• All three courts operate in one building. The Judicial Branch merged all three courthouses: the Litchfield Judicial District, GA-18 court, and the Juvenile Matters court at the address 50 Field Street. The Bantam courthouse ceased to exist s a result of its closing down in September 2017.
• GA-18 operates in thirty towns. This number is not the same as the one from Litchfield County. The list of the towns involved in the court process includes Avon, Barkhamsted, Bethlehem, Bridgewater, Burlington, Canaan, Canton, Colebrook, Cornwall, Farmington, Goshen, Granby, Hartland, Harwinton, Kent, Litchfield, Morris, New Hartford, New Milford, Norfolk, North Canaan, Roxbury, Salisbury, Sharon, Simsbury, Thomaston, Torrington, Warren, Washington, and Winchester.
• Farmington, Avon, Burlington, Canton, Granby, Hartland and Simsbury are located in Hartford County, but their cases are handled by the Litchfield Judicial District at Torrington, not Hartford. This confuses people all the time since the Judicial District line and county line are two different lines.
• Three towns from Litchfield County are not covered in there. Plymouth will be heard in GA-15 in New Britain, where Bristol, Plainville, and Southington are heard. Watertown and Woodbury are being processed in GA-4 in Waterbury. If your arrest took place there, you will need to be covered by some other court's system.
• There is no jail in Litchfield County so all pretrial holds are placed in New Haven Correctional Center, located on 245 Whalley Avenue, that is about 35 miles away from it. The Correction Department says that this facility serves the courts of Meriden, Litchfield, New Haven and Waterbury.
• Women go to Niantic. The only facility for women in the state is located in Niantic at 201 West Main Street.
• The building decides everything. After booking, bond setting, paperwork and facility release and processing questions have been resolved, it might mean transport was required. Anyone who gives you a definite amount of time before even examining your case is just making a guess.

Sequence of release in Torrington.

1. Arrest. If you get arrested in Torrington, the booking procedure will be carried out by Torrington Police Department. If your arrest took place outside the city, the local police department or the state police will take charge of the case.
2. Bail is being processed. The bail amount will be set by either a bail commissioner or a Superior Court judge, and the process consists in analyzing the charges and considering such factors as criminal record, family and social connections, and potential of escape.
3. Start Payment. Make a call to (860) 818-7078. You will have a licensed professional on the other end of the line. The first question will be where the person is being held.
4. Complete Necessary Information. You will need to provide information through phone or any email. There is no need to drive since the courthouse is 45 minutes away from your city.
5. Arrange Payment. We will help you to build up the necessary payment schedule based on your pay dates.
6. During a hearing that must take place at 50 Field Street, Torrington, CT 06790, not only should you never miss an appointment but if you do, you will have to face the charges of failure to appear in court and obtain a new bail bond as well.

What a Bail Bond Costs in Connecticut: The Published Rate

The state sets this number. Doesn't matter which agent you call, in Torrington or three towns over, the math comes out the same: 10% of the first $5,000 of bail, then 7% of everything above that. Here's the full schedule below so you can check our number against it yourself instead of just trusting what I tell you over the phone.

The smallest premium we charge is $50. That kicks in when the bail amount is low enough that the percentage would land under it. At signing, the minimum due is 35% of the premium (that's 35% of the premium, not the bail), and the rest goes on a written plan stretched out up to 15 months.

Plug your own numbers into the bail bond calculator and see for yourself. The premium gets earned the moment the bond's posted, and it doesn't come back once the case wraps up, whichever way it wraps up. That's just how surety bail works, in Connecticut and everywhere else. If the money's the real problem, read through posting a bond with no money and affordable payment plans before you decide it's impossible.

How you can pay. Venmo, CashApp, Apple Pay, PayPal, or any major credit or debit card works. You can also pay online if you'd rather do it from your phone.

Torrington Bail Bonds Coverage and Nearby Towns

Within GA-18 we have created distinct pages for locations such as New Milford and Litchfield, while the other twenty-seven towns can source anything from the same court of law.

Once we leave the coverage area, we get into a series of different courts of law. Waterbury and Naugatuck fall under GA-4 jurisdiction along with the towns of Watertown and Woodbury. Bristol, Southington and New Britain form the jurisdiction of GA-15 with Plymouth being under this court as well. The jurisdiction of GA-3 belongs to the town of Danbury, as we move to the South-West from GA-18. Another locality that may confuse is West Hartford that is still part of Hartford County, but the neighbouring Farmington, although being a Hartford County town, functions in a different way.

Torrington Bail Bonds FAQs

Which Court Dealt with the Arrest in Torrington?

Geographical Area 18 located on Field Street Torrington in fact covers Torrington Court. Since its opening on September 18, 2017, this court is the place for both Litchfield and Juvenile Matters since they are all obligated to use the Chief Clerk Office at (860) 626-2100. The previous GA-18 courthouse on Doyle Road was closed for good in September 2017.

Which towns does GA-18 cover?

GA-18 represents thirty towns geographical area: Avon, Barkhamsted, Bethlehem, Bridgewater, Burlington, Canaan, Canton, Colebrook, Cornwall, Farmington, Goshen, Granby, Hartland, Harwinton, Kent, Litchfield, Morris, New Hartford, New Milford, Norfolk, North Canaan, Roxbury, Salisbury, Sharon, Simsbury, Thomaston, Torrington, Warren, Washington and Winchester.

Does GA-18 cover all of Litchfield County?

No, this is not true. This means that there are towns that are covered out of the area specified for GA-18; for instance, Plymouth is covered by GA-15 jurisdiction located in New Britain and Watertown and Woodbury are those cities that belong to the GA-4 jurisdiction in Waterbury. Among the seven towns that are served by Hartford County and do not fall under the jurisdiction of GA-18 is that the court does not operate depending solely on the city titles. The reason we ask is very simple because the line of judicial district does not coincide with the specific geographic county.

What about men who get arrested in Litchfield County?

Litchfield County does not maintain its own jail. The male suspects are taken to New Haven Correctional Center located at 245 Whalley Ave. which is about thirty-five miles south of the courthouse. This facility remains listed under the jurisdiction of both Bantam and Litchfield courts by Department of Correction. Bantam and Litchfield are just the names that have been replaced by Torrington court.

What about women arrested in Litchfield County?

The women accused of a crime are taken to York Correctional Institution located at 201 W Main St. in Niantic. It is the only women's penitentiary in the state. This correctional facility acts as a pretrial reception center for all courts in Connecticut.

How long does it take until a defendant is released?

The time of release depends on the case stage as well as the work of the release desk. People often confuse the terms and mistakenly think that the bondsman will help them. People who provide them with a certain time period before the release probably don't know much about the job they are doing.
