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.
The court considers the seriousness of the crime, potential penalty, and criminal history in determining the bond length. If the individual has a history of violating the law, the bond length could extend beyond the usual 90 days.
Bail bonds can be posted at jails in California 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. So, no matter when you decide to begin the bail bond process, your friend or loved one will not have to wait for the jail's business hours in order to be released.
Can You Bail Someone Out of Jail Anytime? Yes! In California, bonds can be posted twenty-four hours a day, seven days per week.
Yes! In California, bonds can be posted twenty-four hours a day, seven days per week. But whether you can bail someone out of jail at any time depends on their situation.
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.
The defendant can post their own bail or ask a family member or friend to post it. If the defendant uses a bond company, the company may require the defendant to have a co-signer (someone who will help the company find the defendant should they fail to appear).
In some jurisdictions, the court may also allow you to post a property bond, which will use property that you own as collateral for your conditional release. Unfortunately, though, if your bail amount is high, you may not have the resources to post bail with the court on your own.
