Getting Out of Jail on Bail

Depending on the specific nature of the case, including the crime and the arrestee’s criminal history, after an arrest occurs, getting out of jail on bail will most often be an option. This means you would not have to wait for your trial date behind bars but could go home and possibly even work.

The bail process is complex to those who have never experienced it before. Yet, with the help of a bond agent, like the ones at 24 Hour Online Bail Bonds, the necessary procedures to follow for getting out of jail are simplified.

First things first: You or someone you know has been arrested. Following an arrest, the arrestee will be taken into a holding facility. The location of the holding facility will be determined by the location of the crime and the hour at which the arrest occurred. A transfer to a larger holding facility may be required at some point.

Next, the booking process happens. This process includes being fingerprinted and having your mugshot taken. The specific charges are then confirmed, bail is established, and both court dates and times are set. This can all take a few hours to complete, depending on how busy the jail is at the time.

If you are unable to make bail on your own, this is when you’ll want to reach out to a bail bond agent—like us—for help. Our bond agents can be reached by calling 800-930-8999. The best part? We can be reached twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week, three hundred and sixty-five days a year.

Here’s what you should know about 24 Hour Online Bail Bonds:

We offer free price quotes, as well as payment plans, and there is rarely a need for collateral. Also, we proudly offer discounts for all members of the military. These discounts are available to all military members —both active and retired—as well as to their loved ones. Discounts vary depending on circumstances (for example, the nature of the case), but we guarantee that we can beat anyone's bond price for military members.

Additionally, we can set up a fast, easy, and convenient payment plan that works best for you. Our team also provides discrete, confidential services. We guarantee your complete satisfaction and promise to never share information with any outside agencies.

Once you decide to secure help getting out of jail on bail, paperwork will need to be signed. This paperwork details the collateral used to purchase the bond (if necessary), the fees involved, and who is responsible for ensuring the defendant shows up to all court proceedings.

For the bail agent to set up the bond, the agent will need the full name of the defendant, the booking number, the charge or charges the defendant is facing, and the location of the jail. Then, the bail agent will bond the defendant out of jail. This entire process can take several hours, again, depending on how busy or full the jail is at the time. 

If the defendant fails to show up to his or her court proceedings, the person who took out the bail bond stands to lose their collateral and faces additional penalties.

The price of a bail bond is determined by various factors, including location, the nature of the charge, and prior offenses. However, in most cases, the cost of the bond is between seven and ten percent of the bail amount.

When it comes to paying for a bond, we conveniently accept a variety of payment methods for our services, such as:

  • Credit Cards
  • Debit Cards
  • Cash
  • PayPal
  • Venmo
  • Zelle
  • Bank Transfers

Please note: If you are thinking about not using a bail bond agent for help, there are your other options. These options include the following:

  • Pay the court or jail cash, which you will get back fewer fees or outstanding fines due to the court once the case has been completed
  • Use a US Treasury Bond
  • Use Real Property
  • Stay in Jail
