Question 2

What is bail?

Accepted Answer

Bail is a sum of money, property, or a surety bond promised to the court to guarantee an arrested person’s appearance in court during trial. The right to reasonable bail is guaranteed by the Eighth Amendment of the Constitution of the United States.

Question 3

What is a bail bond?

Accepted Answer

A bail bond is a financial guarantee that you will appear for all court appearances until your case concludes or is dismissed. You pay the bail amount, and if you do not show up for court, the court will keep the bail and issue a warrant for your arrest.

Question 4

How do bail bonds agencies work?

Accepted Answer

Under state law, a licensed bail bonds agency can provide a type of insurance policy or “bond” that guarantees payment of the full bail amount if the defendant does not show up for their court appearances. Bail bonds agencies charge a percentage of the total bail amount to the defendant or the person who signs the bond on their behalf, plus any additional fees that occur, such as court costs.

Question 5

What is a co-signer?

Accepted Answer

A co-signer is a person who signs an agreement with the bonding company for the release of an inmate who is currently incarcerated. His or her signature indicates that the co-signer guarantees that the defendant will make good on the promises outlined in the bond agreement. The co-signer is legally responsible for ensuring that the defendant for whom he or she signed appears at court on the appointed days and times. They’re also responsible for making any payment plans associated with the bond as well as informing both the court and bonding company of any updates to their or the defendant’s physical address or phone number.

Question 7

What is the bail bond process?

Accepted Answer

After arrest, a person is booked and a judge sets bail. A bonding company can post the bond, guaranteeing the defendant's court appearance. A cosigner—often a friend or relative—must sign a contract accepting financial responsibility if the defendant misses court. If the defendant flees, the cosigner must pay the full bond. The obligation lasts until the court exonerates the bond. Once paperwork is complete, the defendant is released. Co-signing can be done by email, fax, or in person.

Question 8

How long until the defendant is released from jail?

Accepted Answer

Once a bail bond agent has turned in the jail’s bond, the defendant’s release depends on the paperwork process in that specific jail. This may take anywhere from forty-five minutes to twenty-four hours.

Question 9

When is collateral needed?

Accepted Answer

Collateral is needed for those defendants who are considered to have an added risk of being non-compliant with the terms of the bond. In these cases, some bonding companies require an additional assurance (money) to be put up as collateral, to secure the defendant’s bond. This collateral will be returned upon the completion of the case.

Question 10

How long will a defendant be out on bail?

Accepted Answer

The length of time that elapses between an arrest and a trial is determined by multiple factors, such as the charge and the location of the alleged crime. For example, if a defendant is facing a misdemeanor charge, he or she will most likely know their trial date before leaving the jail. Generally speaking, it takes approximately three months for most misdemeanor trials to be scheduled. However, if a defendant is charged with a felony, it could be as soon as 12 months or as long as three to four years before a trial date is set.

Question 11

What happens when a bond fails?

Accepted Answer

When a bond fails, a bond forfeiture date is set, and a bench warrant is issued. At this point, we will attempt to reset the court date. If this isn’t possible, we would seek to arrest the individual and return them to custody. If we are not able to locate the defendant, then reimbursement of the bond liability amount would be sought from the co-signer.
