How long does it take to get someone out of jail?

Expect a wait of about eighteen hours after arrest. If it takes longer than twenty-four hours you might have cause to become concerned.

Currently, the law states that if a person has been arrested for a misdemeanor and has not been taken before a magistrate for probable cause determination within 24 hours, he is required to be released on a bond not exceeding $5000. For a felony arrest, he must be released on a bond not exceeding $10,000, no later than 48 hours after arrest.
