Learn How Bail Works

When you're arrested, no matter what the crime, you'll be processed into a detention center where you'll be held until you can appear before a judge in court to have your bail set (the amount for which the defendant, you or your loved one, will be released with).

Bail Is Paid in Cash

Bail is cash, a bond, or a property that's given to the court as collateral to ensure that you'll appear when ordered to do so and face your charges. If you don't show up for your hearing, the judge will keep the bail and issue a warrant for your arrest.

If bail is not posted or denied, you'll remain in jail until the charges can be resolved - even if you're innocent. This can potentially take weeks or months, depending on the charges against you.
