Kentwood is a small city in the far northern end of Tangipahoa Parish, sitting just a few miles from the Mississippi state line along U.S. Highway 51. Known for its timber history and rural character, Kentwood is a tight-knit community where families know each other — and when someone gets arrested, it is a stressful situation for the whole household. Arrests in Kentwood are processed through the Tangipahoa Parish Jail in Amite, roughly 30 miles south. That distance makes it even more important to have a bail bondsman who handles everything remotely, so you never have to make that drive alone. We serve Kentwood residents 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, including weekends and holidays.

Kentwood falls under the jurisdiction of the 21st Judicial District Court, which covers all of Tangipahoa Parish. Bond amounts are set at the initial appearance hearing, which typically occurs within 24 hours of arrest. For misdemeanor charges — such as simple possession, simple battery, or theft under $1,000 — bonds commonly range from $1,500 to $3,500. For felony charges including drug distribution, aggravated battery, or armed robbery, bonds can range from $10,000 to $75,000 or more depending on the severity of the charge and the defendant's prior criminal history. Kentwood and northern Tangipahoa Parish tend to see arrests related to drug offenses along U.S. 51, domestic disputes, and property crimes. The court sets bond conservatively in most first-offense cases. Our fee is typically 10–13% of the total bond amount, and we offer flexible payment plans with low down payments so the cost of the bond never prevents your family from getting their loved one home.
After bond is posted at the Tangipahoa Parish Jail in Amite, most releases from Kentwood arrests take between 3 and 6 hours. The jail staff processes paperwork in the order bonds are received, so the sooner we file, the sooner your loved one walks out. Because Kentwood is about 30 miles from the Amite jail, we handle all paperwork electronically — you sign digitally from your phone, we file directly with the facility, and we keep you updated every step of the way. You never need to drive to the jail or courthouse. We have your back from the first phone call until the moment your loved one is released.
We serve all of Tangipahoa Parish including Amite, Bogalusa, Franklinton, Hammond and surrounding areas.
