What is bail?
Bail is a set amount of money that acts as insurance between the court and the person in jail (the defendant). Defendants have the option to pay their bail in cash, but many cannot do this. Bail bond companies can secure their release for a fee, often a percentage of the total bail amount.
How is bail determined?
Bail is determined by the judge during a bail hearing. The judge will consider various factors, such as the severity of the crime, the defendant's previous criminal record, the risk of the defendant fleeing, and the danger the defendant poses to the public.
What is a bail bond?
A bail bond is a type of surety bond provided by a bail bond company through a bail bondsman that secures the release of a defendant from jail.
How much does a bail bond cost?
The cost of a bail bond varies depending on the bail amount set by the court. Most bail bond companies charge a fee of 10-15% of the total bail amount.
What happens if you can't afford bail?
If a defendant can't afford to pay bail, they will remain in jail until their court date. However, they can also seek help from a bail bond company, which will cover the cost for a fee. In some cases, a judge may release the defendant on their own recognizance, meaning no bail money is required, or a public defender can request a bail reduction.
What happens if you skip bail?
If a defendant skips bail, meaning they fail to appear in court as required, the court will typically issue a warrant for their arrest and the bail bond will be forfeited. The bail bond company may hire a bounty hunter to find and return the defendant to custody.
What does it mean to be released on your own recognizance?
If a defendant is released on their own recognizance, they are released without having to pay bail because the judge believes they are not a flight risk and are responsible enough to appear at their court dates.
