Arrest<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

As soon as a person is arrested, they are taken to the\nnearest county jail. For instance, here in Indiana, if you were arrested in\nNoblesville, you would be taken to the Hamilton County jail. Upon transfer to the\nnearest county jail, the arrestee is placed in a holding cell that looks much\nlike you would imagine. These holding cells are generally located directly in\nthe booking and processing room. Booking and processing are terms that refer to\nthe process of getting an arrestee\u2019s fingerprints, mug shots, personal\ninformation, and more, and then entering all these records into the jail\u2019s\ndatabase system.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Booking<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

An arrested person will sit in their holding cell until jail staff can begin their booking and processing. This can take anywhere from a couple of hours, to an entire day or more; depending on how busy the jail is, the number of staff working, and whether or not an arrested person is intoxicated. If intoxicated, jail staff cannot begin the booking process until the arrestee is entirely sober. This usually means they won\u2019t even check on them for at least 8 hours. Once they are sober, they can be booked and processed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bail <\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Now once a person has been booked and processed, they are eligible for bail. They can either call a local bail bond company for immediate assistance and service, or they can call a friend or family member and have them call a bail bondsman. They can forgo both these options and pay their bond in cash, but this is rare considering not many people have this amount of cash on hand. If a person does choose to pay their entire bond amount in cash, a total that can be upwards of 10,000 or more, they will be released from jail and their payment will be returned when they appear for their scheduled court hearing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bail Bonds<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

When a person calls a bail bond company, they are making a\ngood choice. This is the easiest and most secure way to obtain a release from\njail for yourself or another person. A bail bond company pays the entire bond\namount, in exchange for a small non-refundable fee. This fee is mandated by\nlaw, so no other bail bond company charges more or less for their services.\nBail bond prices are figured by calculating ten or fifteen percent of the\nperson\u2019s total bond amount. So if a person\u2019s bond amount was 10,000 dollars, a\nbail bondsman will ask for a non-refundable fee of 1,000 to 1,500 dollars for\nhis services. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bail Bonds Agreements <\/h1>\n\n\n\n

In addition to this fee, the person bailing a friend\u00a0 or loved one out of jail with a bail bond will be obligated to sign a contract stating they are responsible for paying the remainder of the defendant \u2019s bond amount (in this case, $9,000 or so) if the defendant fails to appear for court. This means that if the person you bail out of jail with a bail bond doesn\u2019t show up for their schedule court date, you are legally responsible for paying the bail agent the remainder of their bond. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why do you have to pay? Because the bail bond company forfeits the monies they put up for the defendant\u2019s release, with the expectation that they will receive that money back when the person shows up for court. If they don\u2019t show, the bail agent doesn\u2019t get their money back, but they do have a binding agreement with the person who signed for the bail bond saying they are legally responsible for paying the bail agent back. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
