Federal law stipulates that this type of offender must register his information in the state sex offender database as well as the national sex offender database. These systems are utilized by local law enforcement for keeping track of these offenders in the interest of public safety. You can get information on the sex offenders residing in Covington County by visiting the Mississippi Sex Offender Registry. Just bear in mind that some offenders do not obey the law. Some records in the database may only list last known addresses.
Bail and Bondsman
The court requires a pledge of money or property (called bail) before it will release a defendant awaiting trial from custody. This is to ensure that the defendant will come back when the trial begins. Bail is returned to the defendant after the trial minus some court fees. However, if he violates the conditions of his release, he forfeits the bail and is labeled a fugitive.
A bail bondsman can act as a surety for a fee. This is one way to post bail if you cannot afford it on your own. The fee is usually 10% of the bail amount but it is not refundable.
