If you want the money released before the case is finished, there is a process to revoke a bond, which includes a written request to the court in order for a hearing to be set. At the hearing the judge will decide if the defendant should be placed back in jail so that your money can be returned to you.
The magistrate will state that anything the defendant says can be used against him, and that no statement needs to be made by the defendant regarding the circumstances of the crime. The defendant may also be asked if the contact/personal information on the complaint is accurate and complete.
Cash bonds are only released upon order of a judge or dismissal of the charges. The bond can only be returned to the person who posted the bond. Regardless of who posted the bond, the bond may be held by the clerk of court to be applied to any amount the person who posted the bond owes to the State of Iowa.
Usually, when you see the judge in court in the morning at your initial appearance, the judge will set your bail, which may be the same or more or less than what the warrant or sheriff set it. Sometimes there is no bail amount until you first see the judge, which means you will remain in custody until then.
A surety bond is posted by a bonding company. The company usually requires the accused to pay 10% of the bail amount as a fee. If the accused ?jumps bail? by failing to appear in court, the bonding company owes the full amount to the court. The accused then owes that money to the bonding company.
If the judge grants bail, the defendant can pay the set amount directly to the court to secure their release from jail until the trial date. Once the trial ends, regardless of the outcome ? whether found guilty or innocent, whether the charges are dropped or the case is dismissed ? the person gets the bail money back.
One of the conditions of bond printed on the backside of your bail bond receipt, and told to you by the judge setting bail, is: you cannot leave the state without permission of the court. If you leave the state without permission, you will have violated the conditions of bail.
