How Bail Bonds Work !
Below are the most common types of bail release.
- Cash Bail
- Surety Bond (Bail Bondsman)
- Property Bonds
- Own Recognizance (OR - ROR)
- Cite-Out (Citation Release)
CASH BOND/BAIL
To be released on cash bail, a person must post with the court the total
amount of the bail, in cash, to secure his/her return to court on an
appointed date, and thereafter until the case is finished. Full cash bonds
are an incentive for defendants to appear at trial. If the defendant
appears for his/her court appearances, the cash will be returned to
you within 60-90 days. However, if he/she fails to appear, the cash bond
is forfeited to the court! NOTE: Some courts will keep a small fee
(usually 3%) and can also deduct any fines from the cash bond you put up.
SURETY BOND (BOND 10%) MOST COMMON TYPE
The alternative to cash bail is the posting of a surety bond which is also
known as a bail bond. This process involves a contractual undertaking
guaranteed by an admitted insurance company having adequate assets to
satisfy the face value of the bond. The bail bondsman guarantees to the
court that the defendant will appear at court or pay the full bond amount
( bond forfeiture ) if the defendant fails to appear for the designated
court appearances.
The costs for this type of service is typically 10% of the bail amount
and is fully earned upon the release of the defendant.
PROPERTY BOND
Depending on the court jurisdiction an individual may obtain release from
custody by posting a property bond with the court. Here a court records a
lien on property, to secure the bail amount. If the defendant fails to
appear in court of his/her designated date, the court may start
foreclosure proceedings against the property to obtain the forfeited bail
amount.
OWN RECOGNIZANCE (OR - ROR)
Another method of release pending trial is through a county or law
enforcement administered pre-trial release program. Typically a deputy or
staff member of the jail will interview a defendant and will determine or
recommend to the court regarding release of the defendant on their own
recognizance.
CITATION RELEASE
Citation Release involves the issuance of a citation by the arresting
officer to the defendant, informing the defendant that he/she must appear
at an appointed court date. Citation Release usually occurs immediately
after an individual is arrested.
