Below are five essential steps to understand what happens after an arrest and how the bail process works.
An arrest happens when law enforcement has reason to believe someone has committed a crime. The individual is then taken into custody, booked, and placed in a holding cell while waiting for their court appearance.
During arraignment, the judge reads the charges and sets the bail amount. In many cases, this amount follows a preset schedule based on the type of offense. However, bail can be denied if the defendant is seen as a flight risk or a danger to the community.
After bail is set by the court, the defendant becomes eligible for release from jail. In most situations, a friend or family member steps in to arrange a bail bond. The cost of the bond is usually 10% of the total bail amount.
Once your loved one is out on bail, it’s extremely important that they attend all scheduled court appearances. Missing a court date can lead to a warrant for their arrest, and as the cosigner, you may be held financially responsible for the full bail amount.
After the court reaches a verdict, the defendant may be released or taken back into custody. In some situations, they might be ordered to return at a later date to begin serving their sentence.
