Actually, no. Judges routinely go into jails over long weekends (sometimes over weekends) to conduct bail hearings. It’s both out of respect for the defendant’s constitutional rights, and to help ameliorate overcrowding.

The jurisdiction I was in had a 24-hour limit for adjudication before a magistrate, even if they had to come in on Christmas. It was similar in most other jurisdictions that I was involved with.
