Opportunities for people awaiting trial in court to be sent home in the meantime is possible through bail bonds services. These systems can help you or someone close to you stay out of jail through collateral.
The defendant promises to accept a determined range of debt to a surety (relative or friend) as they are allowed to be set free until the date of their trial.
The purpose of setting bail, as it is called, is to determine that the defendant will show up to trial despite being out of custody until then.
Bails are often dropped once the defendant arrives at trial. However, because of the chance that any defendant could attempt to skip the trial, bails are generally set high enough to be financial burdens if actually required to be paid. An arrest warrant will be made out for anyone who misses their trial without adequate reasoning.
The severity of a crime is often correlated with the amount of the posted bail. Lesser crimes have lower bail amounts.
Bounty hunters are often contracted when defendants skip trial and cannot be located for their court date.
Bail bonds services help provide assistance to those who cannot pay bail for themselves or their loved ones. Several different percentage options are available depending on the financial situation of the defendant or surety.
