How Does Bail Work in Indiana?<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

A person is arrested and taken to jail, and then a judge on\nduty sets or denies their bail according to the Indiana Bail Schedule. Most\nstates use an official bail schedule that predetermines bail amounts for\nparticular levels of offenses, and although judges are permitted to raise or\nlower these bail amounts upon their own discretion, they tend to stick to these\nschedules to set bail. Once a judge sets a person\u2019s bail, that person can be\nprocessed into the jail system and then bonded out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Happens After an Arrest in Indiana?<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

As soon as a person is arrested, they are taken to the nearest county jail. Once a person is transferred to the jail, they are placed in a holding cell, which are usually located in the booking and processing room. Booking and processing refers to the process of recording fingerprints, mug shots, personal information, and more, and then entering these records into the jail\u2019s database system.\u00a0 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

An arrested person will wait in their holding cell until jail staff can get to them and 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, which they deem to be 8 hours after the arrest. Once a person has been booked and processed, they are eligible for bail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Can I Bail Myself Out of Jail in Indiana?<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Fortunately, Indiana law does give defendants the opportunity to post their own bail. To do so, you have two options. You can choose to pay the entire bond amount in cash at the jail, or you can choose to pay a small percentage of your total bond amount by hiring a bail bond company. If you pay cash for your full bond, your payment will be refunded back to you when you show up for all court hearings. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you use a bail bond company, the percentage you pay is a non-refundable fee. Even if you have the thousands of dollars to pay your full bond amount in cash doesn\u2019t mean it is a wise choice. You don\u2019t want to empty your bank account for a release from jail. Choose a bail bond service for a more practical and simple way to get out of jail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Can I Leave Indiana While Out on Bond?<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Once you sign a bail bond contract, you enter into a legally-binding agreement that ties you to certain terms and conditions. Although these vary from state to state, and even agent to agent, one of the steadfast rules is that defendants are NOT allowed to leave the state. In fact, you cannot even leave the city. If you are caught outside of the city limits, or later it is discovered by officials that you did leave the city, you will be in violation of your contract, and will face a list of penalties, including being put directly back into jail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
