Go to www.opcso.org. You can go there and look her up. It will have her charges and bond information if it has been set. Call different bond companies and get the best price. They will all be close. If you do get a bail bondsman, make sure they aren't making you do payments. Some of them are more shady than others. They will take your money, act like that is it, then call you in a month and ask why you haven't paid on it.

Based on personal experience, they will release her this evening on her own recognizance due to overcrowding.

Circa pre-Katrina on a Jazz Fest weekend... I do in fact have some idea. I have to believe third world countries aren't as much of a slum as that fricking place. frick that whole place.

If this were my female friend my arse would be down there right now with whatever means I could find to get her out

If you call the bail bondsman first, they can speed the process up. Especially, if they have been sucking up to the judges.

I used to work for a bail bondsman about 20 years ago. Not sure if that's how it works now, but that's how it used to work.

Getting someone out of OPP on a weekend is a fun experience if it can be done

I don't see why my question hasn't been answered.

Does she have parents?

Did this dude call a bail bondsman?

There is nothing to be done unless you know someone in the sheriff's office that can go get her and walk her through. First, they do not book anyone at night. The lazy fricks on the night shift hang out and bullshite with each other, then claim they were too busy to book anybody. The day shift comes in and starts the booking process, I think around 8 am, but they are slow as frick. Once booked, after a while (one minute to hours, who knows) they'll strat processing the people they've booked.

If it's a first offense DWI, they might give her an ROR. If not, it'll probably be a $2500 bail or thereabouts. Go talk to a bondsman on Tulane. They'll be able to help and they'll know when her bail has been set. You can go down to lockup, but it won't do any good.

And, she's in Central Lockup. She is not in OPP. She's not going to get sent to OPP.

And I've been to Lockup. I am generally anti-criminal, but that place is fricked up and sad. Guys sit in there for days without being booked. The sheriff's office does not give a frick. The office gets paid based on the number of heads each day. No one goes in there and gets out the same day. She'll probably be ok if she minds her own business. Everyone in there is miserable, and everyone is in the same boat.

ETA - if you know a magistrate or judge, they can call in an ROR. But, she can't be released on the ROR until they book her. She won't show up on the computer system yet either. It's actually scary, and possible that people can go in there and just disappear forever.

OP has probably been up all night and is now crashed out. He should become friends with that guy who got fired from the G plant.

Amomng other things, this is the most incorrect part. There is no per diem.

I thought the DWI laws changed starting this year to where you have to spend a MINIMUM of 10 days in jail? LINK

If you're convicted, not if you're arrested.

You are correct. I did not realize they ended the per diem at the end of October this past year, 2014.

The rest of that is accurate.

No it isn't. People are booked at night, to start. And the per diem ended long before December 14.

Technically maybe. But the lazy motherfrickers in there don't do it.

And central lockup is technically known as the Intake Processing Center. You been there? Work there? Done both. I speak from experience. (

ETA - don't work there, but deal with regularly.

Per diem was used in the city budget up until this year.

Page 541 of the 2014 budget-

quote:

City Funding
The Inspections and Evaluations Division of the New Orleans Office of Inspector General (OIG) conducted a review of the funding of the Orleans Parish Sheriff’s Office (OPSO) in 2011. It focused on financial support of the municipal and
parish jail system (Jail) and included City budget allocations, City in-kind support, and ad valorem taxes.
1 Inspectors reviewed legal and financial documents relating to 2011 Jail and OPSO funding to develop a detailed budget picture of the fiscal operations of OPSO and to provide information regarding the City’s and OPSO’s respective responsibilities and authorities for the New Orleans Jail. (Inspection of Taxpayer/City Funding to Orleans Parish

Sheriff's Office in 2011, Report Released by New Orleans Office of Inspector General on June 6, 2013)
The following chart provides a comprehensive review of total funding provided by the City to the operations of the Sheriff’s Office. City funding for the operations of the Jail is based on a consent decree and includes a per diem amount (e.g. an amount of funding per day per City inmate housed), costs related to inmate health care, fuel and energy costs, unemployment, workers compensation and hospitalization costs for Sheriff employees. The City also provides funding to the Sheriff for the operation of an electronic monitoring program.


What else did I get wrong?
