How Does Bonding Someone Out of Jail Work?

Aug 12

Bail refers to money, property or a bond that is paid to a court to secure the release of a defendant.

The nature of the crime will determine whether a person is admissible to bail. In many states, bail can be granted before the case is filed or even after. A judge will decide if a person is at risk of flight and whether they are required to report to a program. A judge could refuse bail in certain cases and may also require specific property or bonds.

The court could demand that the person who is posting bail comply with the "conditions for release" when releasing a defendant. These conditions may be violated and the person who posted the bond could be subject to the possibility of being detained again or even sent back to jail. There are some conditions that require "all the law" and not contacting the suspect. A friend or family member could be able to be able to pay the bail. In general, they have to appear in court within 45 days of release.

When a person is arrested the judge will typically decide on bail. The amount of bail is determined according to the severity of the offense. It is possible to post bail cash, through the placement of collateral or using the bail bondman. After the bail has been posted, the defendant is released. Be aware that bail might not always suffice. Certain misdemeanors have lesser bail amounts.

The conditions for posting bail

You are bound by the conditions of release when you make bail for someone who is currently in jail. It is possible to ask them to not contact the person who was convicted or to attend the drug or alcohol treatment programs. You may also ask for them to follow the general prohibition against violating the law, for example, staying out of the county, or associating with other defendants. If you don't comply with these requirements then your bail will be taken away, and you'll likely be required to return them to jail until the time of trial.

In general, you are able to pay bail using cash bail bonds issued by insurance companies or secured surety bonds or appearance bonds. If you are unable to pay the entire amount, you can pay with your credit card to make the payment. It is also possible to use your debit card if don't own a credit card. It isn't possible to use a personal check to pay bail, however. You can also pay cash in the jail.

Cost of posting bail

If you're thinking of posting bail to get someone out of jail, take into consideration the cost and risk involved. Bail bondsman charges are typically between 10 percent to 15% of the bail amount which means that if you're making bail payments to save money, it might be worth it to use the service that charges you a 10% fee. However, keep in mind that the fee cannot be refunded therefore, you must take your time when weighing your options.

Bail is often set at $10,000 by the police. However, you can choose to pay less or even place it yourself. If you're able to pay the money, you could deposit it with the clerk of the courthouse or the jail. The money would be returned to you upon time of end of your case. Typically, you'll be required to pay the bail bondman 10% of the total bail amount. A further $1000 will be payable by the company. The fee is charged in addition to a loan interest rate.
