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.
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 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.
The Main Orange County Jail release times can take up to 18 hours to be booked and processed out. The usual booking time is about 4 hours and typical release time is about 6 hours after a bond is posted.
So your next step is to reach out to the bondsman and ask to revoke your pledge of bond. Keep in mind that it is at the bonding company's discretion and, ultimately, the judge's discretion whether there is a good reason to surrender a defendant's bond.
