Surety Bond -
A Surety Bond is a bond that is set by a judge and is required to be paid and processed through a bail bondsman. Once the surety bond has been paid through a bail bondsman and all bail bonding requirements are met the defendant will be released.
Surety Bond. Surety bonds are 10 percent or 8 percent of the total bond ordered in a case and must be posted with a licensed bail agent. The bondsman then posts bail with the court on your behalf. This type of bond is not refundable. Example: Judge Jill orders a $1,000 surety bond.
A bond allows an arrested person (defendant) to be released from jail until his or her case is completed. A $5.00 Death Benefit Fee is added to all bond payments. For example, if you have a $500 cash bond, you will pay $500 plus the $5.00 benefit fee for a total of $505.
You pay the full bond amount or 10% of the cash bond amount if the judge decides to set a 10% cash bond. If the bond is set at $50,000.00 you must pay the full amount and if the judge sets the bond to a $50,000.00 10% cash bond you must pay $5,000.00.
The time it takes for a defendant to be released after paying a bond can vary. Generally, if there are no holds on the defendant, they will be released quickly. However, there is no specific time frame for jail release. If a defendant has a bond in one county but a hold in another, the bond must be paid in the county where they are incarcerated. Community corrections holds for GPS monitoring can delay release from 2 to 24 hours. Most bail bondsmen will not post a bond if there is a federal or immigration hold.
Community Corrections - Community Corrections provides a sentencing alternative to being placed in jail or prison. We provide a means of supervising offenders while keeping the public safe. The sentencing a person could receive may be, Home Detention, Adult Day Reporting, or Community Service.
Immigration Holds - An ICE hold refers to a written request from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to a local jail or other law enforcement agency that has taken a person into custody after a lawful arrest. Customs Enforcement will screen the defendant to determine if they can remain in the United States.
Federal Hold - A federal hold is when the federal government has an interest in a person, potentially to bring charges against them. If a federal hold is in place when a person wants to post a bond on a state case, that would not be a good idea.
