Common Questions. Does Your Bond Go Down When You Stay in Jail? Clarification: Staying in jail does not reduce your bond automatically, but prolonged detention can be argued for bail reduction.
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.
Any sentence without parole effectively means a sentence cannot be suspended; a life sentence without parole, therefore, means that in the absence of unlikely circumstances such as pardon, amnesty or humanitarian grounds (e.g. imminent death), the prisoner will spend the rest of their natural life in prison.
If the conviction is for a minor crime or the sentence is a relatively short one, there is a greater chance you will receive bail. Most jurisdictions weigh this decision by determining if your jail sentence is shorter than the time it would take to resolve the appeal. If so, you will likely have bail be available.
In some cases, a defendant is permitted to remain on bail after a conviction while awaiting final sentencing. Indeed, a court may even set an ``appeal bond'' after conviction and sentencing, wherein a defendant can remain in the community during an appeal.
A judge has the power to alter a sentence before the sentence has been entered into the minutes and before the defendant has begun serving the sentence. Once a sentence has been entered, then the judge must rely on some specific statute to modify a sentence.
If you are in prison you have already been convicted, of a felony, so there is no such thing as posting bail for prisoners. If you are in jail, before a conviction, then most of the time you have a bail amount set, by a judge, and if you post it you get to wait until your court dates not in jail.
