Held without bail IS being sent to/kept in prison. Depending on the judge's review of issues such as flight risk and risk to the public, an indicted person can be held until the conclusion of the trial process (including appeals). This can in extreme cases be a year or more.
Bailing someone out of jail who has a history of untrustworthy behavior can create headaches. You're essentially agreeing to put up 10 percent of a bail bond that could be tens of thousands — or even hundreds of thousands — of dollars. If they fail to show, then you went to all that extra trouble for nothing.
When a judge announces no bond, the defendant isn't eligible for release from county jail through bail as the judge has not set a bail amount. Instead, the arrested person has to remain in custody until the case concludes or a judge potentially sets bail at a later hearing.
Consequences of Missing a Bond Payment Revocation of Bail: The bail bondsman may revoke the bond, leading to immediate arrest and incarceration. Legal Action: The bondsman may take legal action against you to recover the owed amount.
Failing to post bond has several consequences: Extended Jail Time: You remain in custody until your court date, ranging from weeks to months. Court Appearances: Regular court appearances are required.
No - if you signed the bond it doesn't matter whether you have a job or not - or whether the bondsman asked you if you did. You are liable as surety on the bond - having a job or not has nothing to do with your liability. Sorry.
If violators cannot make bail, they must remain in jail and the A&P hearing will take place when court next convenes. If the violator is not released at the A&P hearing, a trial must be held within 48 hours.
Once bail is posted, you will be released from jail and will have to appear in court on the assigned date. If you do not post bail, you will remain in jail until your court date. This can be a significant downside to not posting bail, as you will have to spend additional time in jail awaiting your court appearance.
