Description

A bail bond is a bond provided by an insurance company through a bail bondsman acting as agent for the company, to allow an accused defendant to be released before trial. A bail bond is designed to ensure the appearance of the defendant in court at the scheduled time. Prior to the posting of a bail bond, the defendant or a co-signer must guarantee that they will pay the full amount of bail if the defendant does not appear in court. The bail bond company usually charges 10 percent of the amount of the bond and often requires the defendant to put up some collateral like a seconded of trust or mortgage on one's house.


When the case is concluded, the bail bond is "exonerated" and returned to the insurance company. If the defendant disappears and fails to appearing court (skips bail), the bond money will be forfeited unless the defendants found and returned. The bond may be forfeited, by order of the court, upon the partys failure to appear or to comply with the conditions of the bond. If the defendant is located and arrested by the bail agent the cosigner is responsible for all expenses the bail agent incurs while looking for the defendant.

FAQ

If he's still incarcerated and bail is $0 than he can't be bailed out. If there are no charges pending but he is still incarcerated then he likely took a plea and is serving a sentence.

No Bond Hold This could happen if the defendant is considered a flight risk, poses a danger to others, or if there are reasons to believe they may tamper with evidence or intimidate witnesses. In such cases, the judge may issue a “no bond hold,” which means the person will remain in custody until their trial.

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.

Processing time: Once bail is posted, the jail needs to process the paperwork and verify the funds before releasing the defendant. This can take anywhere from 30 minutes to several hours, depending on the jail's workload and staffing levels.
