Find answers to common questions about JailWatch Pro
JailWatch Pro is a real-time jail booking alert system built specifically for bail bond companies and agents. It continuously monitors county jail booking systems and sends alerts the moment new inmates are booked or when individuals on your watchlist are arrested.
JailWatch Pro is designed for bail bond companies, bail bond agents, and bail recovery/enforcement agents. It is not built for the general public or casual inmate searches.
