FAQ about Bail

Once an individual is arrested for a crime, they are brought to a local law enforcement agency to be booked, a process which lasts 1-2 hours. The booking process gives them a court date to resolve the charges, and before the date, the arrested person will have to be jailed. However, they can also opt to be released from jail by posting bail, among other release options.

What are the types of bail?

There are two types of bail: cash bail and bail bonds.

What is cash bail?

Cash bail, as the name suggests, require a certain amount of money to be paid to the court for the release of an arrested person. Cash bail is usually set by the court at a high price that not everyone can afford, thus they opt for a bail bond.

Bail bonds, sometimes called surety bonds, are the cheaper option compared to cash bails. Bail bonds are processed by bail bonds agents and agencies, who only need to be paid a non-refundable premium, usually a tenth of the cash bail.

What is collateral?

Collateral is anything valuable that can be used to ensure the appearance of the defendant on court. At the instance the defendant fails to appear, the collateral posted will be used to pay the rest of the cash bail.

What are good and bad collateral?

Items like cars and boats are considered good collateral, but they are normally valued at their current resale value, not what you originally paid for them. Items that you are currently paying for, like a house or a car, are considered bad collateral, and must be avoided.
