The following website provides useful information about who is being held in the Mini-Cassia jail, and includes the cases the inmates are held on and the bond amounts: https://www.cassia.gov/jail-roster/. Note that $0.0 may the person is being held for a probation violation with no option of release on bond (a "no bond hold"), it may mean the person is serving a sentence, or it may simply say $0.0 for one count because another count for the same case states the actual bond amount set. Looking into the court filings may be necessary to know the actual details of the bond. If a person received an "OR" release, this refers to a release on the person's own recognizance. "Recognizance" means an agreement, so the person was released not because of a bond payment, but because he or she agreed to show up to court hearings and possibly to certain other conditions of release ordered by the judge, such as drug testing.
