If you are in police custody and granted bail, you may pay the bail amount in exchange for a release. Release on bail is contingent on your promise to appear at all scheduled court proceedings. Bail may be granted immediately after booking or at a later bail review hearing. Alternatively, you may be released on your “own recognizance.” If you are released on your own recognizance, you need not post bail, but must promise in writing to appear at all scheduled court appearances. Own recognizance release is granted after the court considers the seriousness of the offense, and your criminal record, threat to the community and ties to family and employment.
Bail bonds are surety bonds used to guarantee the entire bail amount if the defendant fails to maintain the terms of his or her release. Bail bonds are issued by private bail bonding agencies and bail bondsmen. Bail bond is an undertaking guaranteed by a bail bondsman that the defendant will appear in court each and every time he or she is summoned by the judge. Bail bonds industry is regulated by state law. Some states do not permit the business of bail bonds.
