How Bail is Determined

It’s very common to have a “standard list” already set for some of the more common, less violent crimes that are committed. This is called a “bond schedule.” Most jails and detention centers have these amounts posted. If necessary, an intake officer will contact an on-duty judge who will set the amount so the defendant can post bail.

Types of Surety Bonds

• Cash- This can be paid by simply bringing a cashier’s check, cash, or money order to the court or jail. In most cases, credit cards are not accepted.

• Property- This is when you use the equity in a piece of real estate. You will need to check with the appropriate agency to see if that’s an option and the formula they use to determine how much you qualify for.

• Recognizance- when approved by the court, a defendant who has been arrested can be released solely on a promise to appear at all future court hearings until the case is disposed of.

• Surety- this is when someone engages the services of one of the bail bonding companies in Bessemer, AL.
