FAQ

If a person can't make bail in Sacramento, they must remain in jail until their case eventually goes to trial. The so-called “pretrial detention” period — the time between when a person is arrested and their case reaches a courtroom for a trial — can take anywhere from several weeks to several years.

Los Angeles County is now operating under a No Cash Bail system, formally known in legal circles as Pre-Arraignment Release Protocols (PARP). The system prohibits monetary bail for almost all misdemeanors and some felonies.

Defendant is Released on Bail It can take from 30 minutes to 12 hours for the defendant to be released once the bond is posted depending on the jail, staff and circumstances of the defendant.

The decision to post bail for someone should not be taken lightly. Financially, you risk losing the bail amount or collateral if the defendant fails to appear in court. Legally, the defendant's absence can lead to arrest warrants and additional charges, complicating their legal situation further.

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.
