Everyone’s circumstances will be different. Whether or not bail is given as an option to the accused depends on myriad factors, including the nature of the crime and the arrestee’s record. However, if bail is set, the accused has to decide to either get out of jail on bail and wait for their trial date at home or stay in jail until the case goes to trial.
While this is an individual decision that should not be made lightly, we want to ensure you have all the facts. As such, we’ve put together this resource page to help show you why it may be in your best interest to get out of jail on bail—if given the chance.
Further, our blog page offers a variety of information regarding the bail industry. We also welcome you to reach out at any time with questions or concerns. As we said, we are here to assist you with this process.
Are There Cons to Staying in Jail?
First, we want to make sure that you understand this article isn’t meant to scare you or persuade your decision. It is your choice whether or not you wait for your trial date in jail or at home. However, we do believe it’s important to share some facts with you, so you have a full understanding of the situation.
For example, it's believed that waiting for your trial date behind bars could harm your household stability and employment status. Specifically, it's not likely your job will be able to keep you if you're not working, meaning you'll lose your source of income.
Also, if you’re not waiting in jail, your attorney may have an easier time changing the course of the case in your favor. The attorney may be able to delay the case going to court, and a delay could be beneficial to you. How? It gives your attorney more time to find evidence to help exonerate you of the charges.
You probably didn’t know this, but things said in jail while awaiting sentencing can still be used against you in court. Therefore, if you decide to wait in jail, it’s imperative to be mindful of what you say—at all times. If you speak to other inmates or jailers about your case, that statement may later be revealed in court.
Waiting in jail could lead to physical and/or mental harm. Even with security measures put into place, there is still the risk of being sexually assaulted or harassed in jail, and fights have been known to break out regularly. Remember, you’ll be housed with a variety of individuals—all of whom committed different crimes.
Aside from the possibility of physical harm, it is also emotionally challenging to stay in jail. You’ll be away from your friends and family, have no personal space, and only be allowed outside for a limited amount of time. Your chances of experiencing anxiety, stress, and depression will be greater. These feelings can also negatively affect your immune system, leading to sickness.
Lastly, your health could be in jeopardy by choosing to say in jail. You'll likely have to share a cell with at least one inmate and in a tiny space. Spreading of disease is common in jail, especially COVD-19.
Remember, the alternative to staying in jail is getting out of jail on bail—and we can help you do that.
Getting Out of Jail on Bail
If you decide to get out of jail on bail, the agents at 24 Hour Online Bail Bonds are here to assist you. We make the process as easy as possible. We require the full name of the defendant, the booking number, the charge or charges the defendant is facing, and the location of the jail. Then, we will bond the defendant out of jail. This entire process can take several hours, depending on how busy the jail is.
When you make a bail bond payment, you can do so online or over the phone—whichever is easier for you. For your convenience, we accept myriad types of payment, including the following:
- Credit Cards
- Debit Cards

Bail bond agencies, like 24 Hour Online Bail Bonds, are generally available for you to contact twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week. After it’s been determined that a bail bond will be used to get the defendant out of jail, paperwork will need to be signed. This paperwork details the collateral used to purchase the bond, the fees involved, and who is responsible for ensuring the defendant shows up to all court proceedings. 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.
