FAQ
In some cases, a defendant is permitted to remain on bail after a conviction while awaiting final sentencing. Indeed, a court may even set an ``appeal bond'' after conviction and sentencing, wherein a defendant can remain in the community during an appeal.
Typically after sentencing, the case is done. In some cases, the defendant may choose to appeal the judge or jury's decision, or even the sentence. There are strict deadlines for appealing. After a defendant serves a sentence, in some cases, they may be able to "clean their record".
Even if you have been sentenced for a crime, you may be able to post bail and get out of custody during the course of your appeal. Post-conviction bail is not available in all states because it is not a constitutional right.
If you are in prison you have already been convicted, of a felony, so there is no such thing as posting bail for prisoners. If you are in jail, before a conviction, then most of the time you have a bail amount set, by a judge, and if you post it you get to wait until your court dates not in jail.
