FAQ

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. Impact on Employment and Family: Prolonged jail time can lead to job loss and financial strain.

A no bond decision often results in pretrial detention, meaning the defendant must remain in custody until their trial or the resolution of their criminal case. This can have a significant impact on the defendant's ability to prepare for their trial, their defense and maintain their employment and family relationships.

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.

If a defendant cannot afford bail, then at the arraignment or any hearing while still incarcerated the defendant can request a bail reduction or release without bail. That must be supported with evidence that the defendant is unlikely to reoffend or to flee.

In California, a bail bondsman typically has six months to find and return the defendant. If the defendant is not found in the timeframe, you will be responsible for paying not only the full amount of the bond, but also any additional expenses and any unpaid premiums.

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.

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.

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.
