Bail & Bail Bondsmen – How To Get Out of Jail

Of course, once you are locked up, your only thought is about when and how you will get out. After booking, your bail will be decided either by bail schedule or magistrate. In cases where no bail is set this might mean that you will either be released on your ‘own recognizance’ until your court date, or you must remain in jail until your trial.

If you do bail out you will have to promise to show up for court, and you can’t leave town.

Usually, prisoners will earn time off for good behavior if they respect the rules and act right while incarcerated.

If you prove to be trustworthy, you might be given work release detail. You will be required to stay jail each day when you’re finished at your job, or you could be allowed to sleep in a halfway house instead of living at the jail.

Bail

Your bail is how much money that you have to pay to be released from jail until you go to court. The amount you will have to pay depends on the seriousness of your crime. Someone you know will need to put up 10 percent of the total amount that was set in order to get discharged from jail. If you miss your court appearance, that person will lose that money.

Find Out How Much Someone’s Bail Is

In order to find out how much someone’s bail is, you will have to call the jail or the county courthouse. If you’ve got the person’s information, like name, address and date of birth, they will tell you what their bail is set at. Also, you can check their bail amount and status online.



How To Bail Someone Out of Jail

Having to get someone out of jail is no fun, but thankfully, it is easy. First, you need to find out if it is a Cash Only Bond. If so, you can’t get a Bail Bondsman. They only accept cash at the jail, so you have to take cash – they can’t take a personal check. As soon as you’ve posted (paid) bond, the prisoner will be released into your care. If this person doesn’t violate any of the terms of their release, you will get this money back.

Bail Bondsman

If bail is set too high, or you can’t afford it yourself, you should look into the services of a bail bondsman. Bondsmen generally have a fee of 10-15% of the total bail amount, and sometimes have a minimum of $100. The money you pay to the bail bondsman is non-refundable and has to be paid in cash. If bail is very large, the bail bondsman will usually use your assets, such as home, property or cars, as collateral.

Discharge Procedures

When you post bail, you will be discharged from jail. This process may take anywhere between 10 minutes to all day. In simple terms, the faster you post bail, the quicker you will get released.

Be sure that you don’t show up late.
