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.
Depending on the type of crime the suspect is arrested for, the bond amount may be given right after booking or the suspect may have to sit in jail for a couple days before a bond hearing before a judge.
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.
These factors include the complexity of the case, the workload of the facility, and the availability of resources and the discretion of the Orange County Courts. In most cases, individuals are released within 24 to 48 hours of being processed.
