What Are the Steps for Bailing Someone Out of Jail?

After a person is arrested, they will be booked into the local law enforcement agency’s system. The booking process involves fingerprinting the defendant, taking their mug shot, and getting their personal information. Once they’re in the database, they will be placed in jail.

Even though the person is in police custody, that does not mean their friends or family member can immediately post bail. The defendant must first attend a hearing, where a judge sets the bail amount. At this point, bail can be posted to seek release from jail.

Working with an agency that knows the Santa Monica bail bonds process well is essential. For the help you need, reach out to The Bail Boys.

Why Post Bail?

Although a person may have been arrested for and charged with a crime, that does not mean that they’re guilty. In fact, one of the pillars of the U.S. criminal justice system is the presumption of innocence. This suggests that when someone is being held in police custody while awaiting trial, they are innocent yet suffering some type of “punishment” until their case concludes.

When they post bail, they don’t have to remain behind bars. They can go home or to some other approved location while they prepare for their case and take care of their normal responsibilities.

Being released on bail comes with court-ordered conditions. For example, the defendant may:

• Be restricted on where they can go
• Be required to surrender firearms
• Be placed under electronic monitoring
• Be prohibited from contacting the alleged victim
• Be required to complete a drug or alcohol treatment program

They must also promise to show up to all scheduled court dates. If the defendant violates the conditions, their bail may be revoked, meaning they’ll be required to remain in jail until their case is over. Additionally, if they fail to appear in court, their bail will be forfeit, which means they won’t get back any of the money they paid to the court. If they worked with a bail bond company, they would owe the remaining bail amount instead of just the premium they initially paid.
