    Understanding DWI Release Delays

    Posting the bond is the final financial hurdle, but it doesn't always equal an immediate exit. The 'processing out' phase at the Wake County Detention Center involves several final checks.

    What You Need to Know

    1

    Release Queue: Defendants are released in the order their paperwork was finalized.

    2

    Administrative Verification: Final checks for 'no-release' orders or holds from other agencies.

    3

    Facility Logistics: During shift changes or lockdowns, release doors may be temporarily held.

    What Happens After the Bond is Posted?

    Once our agent hands the signed bond to the magistrate, the magistrate sends an electronic release order to the jail officers inside.

    • Final Check: Jail staff verify no other holds exist.
    • Property Return: The defendant must receive their personal belongings and clothing.
    • Discharge Exit: The defendant is escorted to the public exit on Hammond Road.

    "Shift changes occur around 6:00 AM and 6:00 PM; release processing often pauses for 30-45 minutes during these transitions."
