Once a person is arrested, they are taken to a city or county jail
for booking/processing. This process can take anywhere from 1 to 8
hours (depending on the jail). Upon completion of booking, bail will
be set according to the offense arrestee is being charged.
Posting a bail bond involves a contractual undertaking guaranteed by
a bail agency, surety and the indemnitor (usually a relative or close
friend). The bail bond is a financial guarantee to the court that the
defendant will appear in court each and every time the court orders
him/her to do so.
For this service, the bail agent charges a premium for the service
(10% of the full bail amount, it is a standard fee set by the California
licensed Surety Companies and the California Department of Insurance)
In addition, the bail agency may require physical collateral, the signing
of a bail bond agreement (contract), or both, depending on the individual
circumstances. Often times a defendant can be bailed out of jail with
only the signature of a responsible indemnitor.
After an agreement is reached between the bail agent and the indemnitor
and all fees are paid, the bail agent physically posts a bail bond
for the full bail amount with the jail or court. The defendant will
be released on bail and given a date, time and location to appear in
court.
It is very important the indemnitor feels confident that the defendant
is going to appear for each and every court appearance until the bail
bond is exonerated. The indemnitor is responsible for the full amount
of the bail and any and all other expenses if the court should forfeit
this bond.
