How Bail Works
Posting bail is where you can be released from jail while you are awaiting trial. The court sets a dollar amount for every crime imaginable – known as your bail – in order to prevent you from fleeing before all your court dates. If you or your loved one has been arrested and accused of a crime, it’s very important to understand how the bail process works.

Generally, you have two choices when it comes to bail. Your first option is to simply not post bail at all. If this is the case, you or your loved one must remain in jail while you wait to see the judge for the arraignment. That can be anywhere from a few days to months after your initial booking. Usually, remaining in jail is not a desired option.

The second choice is to work with a bail bondsman in order to pay the bail. If you go with this option, you’ll usually have to pay in 10% of your bail – and this money will not be returned to you, even if you do show up in court. Instead, it goes directly to the bail bondsman for taking the risk of bailing you or your loved one out of jail and for all the court appearances. You will also be expected to co-sign (or get a cosigner) for the entire bail amount which involves signing insurance company documents.

If you don’t show up for court and have worked with a bail bondsman, you will be in real trouble with the court and the bail bondsman. This means that the bail bondsman has to find you or pay the entire bail amount before a certain date. That’s where bounty hunters like “Dog the Bounty Hunter” come in. A bounty hunter is employed by the bail bondsman to track you down. Bounty hunters are extremely resourceful and rarely eluded, so it is in your best interest to simply show up in court. After all, jumping bail, whether you worked with a bail bondsman or not, is a criminal offense and a warrant is issued.
