What is bail and what if I can’t pay it?
When someone is arrested and given charges by the courts, they are also assigned something called bail. Bail is, put simply, restrictions imposed on someone charged to help ensure they’ll follow the court process. Depending on the charges accused of the defendant, the court will typically have a set of requirements that must be followed and a bail amount. This amount is determined using different criteria including:
- Type of charges (misdemeanor vs. felony)
- Previous criminal history
- Ties to family and community
- Current employment status
- Employment history
Once the bail amount is set, someone can post bail to the courts on behalf of the defendant. This is essentially telling the courts that you promise to ensure the defendant follows their court terms and process set in their bail requirements (i.e. showing up to court dates, paying fees, etc). Then, once bail is posted, the jail releases the defendant on good faith that they will proceed according to their requirements.
If you aren’t able to pay the full bail amount (most people cannot outright), you can do something called bail bonding. This allows you to pay a percentage, typically around 10 percent, to a bail bonding company who works with the courts to get your loved one released from jail. This bail bond is again a promise to the court that the defendant and cosigner will agree to follow the requirements and terms set by the court.
