When someone you love is put under arrest and jailed, you want to get them out as soon as possible. The person has been charged with a crime, and this can be a very scary process.
The first step in obtaining a jail release is to figure out what the jail the person is located in. If the person is arrested in Collin County, it is likely the person is either in McKinney, Plano, or Frisco. If the person is in Dallas, the person could be in Dallas County Jail, or any number of surrounding jails (Irving, Garland, etc.)
The next step would be to find out if a bond amount has been placed by a judge. A bond amount will eventually be placed to ensure the person’s return to face the charges against the accused. It is always best to consult with an attorney first so they can consult you with what needs to be done to obtain the fastest release. Remember the person accused may be facing the charges for a long time to come.
It is usually best to get the person out of jail as quickly as possible. People who are in jail are more likely to cut deals with the prosecution to get out of jail to sustain their release. These deals are generally not in their best interest, especially if there is no defense attorney present. As well, for more serious criminal offenses, the chance presents itself for an inmate to act as a “jail house snitch.” Prosecutors sometimes work with jail house snitches who are seeking a better deal for their own criminal charges.
There are usually several way to obtain a jail release once the bond is set. The bond amount will be in relation to the offense charged and will take into account the person’s criminal history, background, residence, and ties to the community.
If a bond amount has already set, it can typically be posted in any of the 3 following ways:
1. Cash Bond: A person can post a cash bond amount directly with the court. If one can come up with the money, this can be the best way to secure the jail release. This is because the amount paid will be returned at the conclusion of the disposition of the case, assuming the defendant appears at all court settings that are required. Often, however, this amount can be a very large amount and obtaining it can be difficult, leading many people to employ other alternate options.
2. Professional Bail Bond Company: A person can also contact a professional bail bond company who works in the county where the offense occurred. A bond company will usually charge 10% of the amount of the face of the bond. This process works a lot like an insurance company given the risk involved for the bond company in the event of a bond forfeiture. Sometimes the bond company will want a type of collateral (maybe a house, cars, property, etc.) to insure the risk involved with the transaction. The major downside to using a bail bond company is that percentage paid will not be returned at the conclusion of the case. Many people mistakenly believe that it will. It is important to note the bail bond companies are not attorneys, and thus the attorney-client privilege does not apply to them. Anything you tell them they can repeat to police and prosecutors if they so choose and it is in their interest to do so. Unlike attorneys, they care very little on the outcome of your case, as their primary concern is making sure you show up to court.
3. Attorney Surety Bond: An attorney who has the proper legal authority can also write the bond if the situation calls for it. Often utilizing an Attorney Surety Bond can secure the fastest jail release. This can often be the best case to employ because you are effectively only going through one entity to secure the jail release (as opposed to a bail bondsman, then an attorney). An attorney can also structure the fee so that you are not paying a bondsman AND an attorney fee up front.
