FAQ
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.
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.
The amount of time you stay in jail depends on the court system. Usually, you'll be kept there until your trial, which is called “pretrial detention.” However, how quickly your trial happens can vary a lot. Sometimes, it's quick, but other times, it can take weeks or even years.
People in this situation may be able to obtain a release on their own recognizance, which means that they can get bail without paying bond. A defendant will need to sign a written promise to show up at their scheduled court appearance.
For instance, a California judge might post bail at $50,000, letting the defendant secure their release for just $5,000. However, judges may not grant bail in some situations. When this happens, it can result in a “no bond” situation.
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.
California Penal Code Section 825 says that a person arrested in California must be brought before a judge within 48 hours to be charged or released. These rules prevent law enforcement from holding suspects indefinitely while providing sufficient time to collect evidence and decide whether to take the case forward.
If you or a loved one are remanded without bond, it means there is no chance for release before a trial date. Instead, you will be required to remain in jail until your hearing.
