...I got the jail house blues.......

I was arrested (public intoxification) on a Friday night, so I had to stay until Monday. My husband paid my bond (300.00) Monday at 4:06. No one came for me until 7:15pm. When I asked the officer
what took so long, said oh well ....hahahahahahaha ..we all thought you were gone. haahahahaaaa, but we gonna get you out of here now . hahaaaaaaahahaahaaaahaha.

Can I do anything about this?? I don't want a large settlement, I just want to get across that they can't treat someone like this even if they are in a position to do so.

Thanks! Janet

Booze and stupidity. Inseparable

Yeah, get some therapy for your alcoholism.

Nobody did anything wrong to you.

There seems to be an unusual practice of "continued incarceration" in Indiana, even after judges order pre-trial inmates to be released:

Amended complaint: Marion County inmates held days after release ordered | The Indiana Lawyer
.
.
.
Bond and bail statues of Indiana:
.
.
CODE OF CRIMINAL PROCEDURE CHAPTER 17. BAIL

.
The time to effect a bonded person being released from custody is generally a creature of court rules. You might be able to see what time limits, if any, are set by the court from you which you were bonded.

Otherwise, have a discussion with three or four lawyers in your county in order to better assess if you have harmed enough to have an actionable basis for a lawsuit against the sheriff.
