No one wants to spend anymore time inside a jail cell than absolutely necessary. Here at Palmdale Bail Bondsman & Bail Bonds we understand your sense of urgency. When you sign a bail bond contract with us, you can rest assured that we will do everything in our power to get you out of jail and reunited with your family as quickly as possible at an affordable price.
As much as we would like to give you a specific timeframe that you can expect to be released from jail, we can’t. There are just too many things that influence how quickly we can get the process to move. Factors that impact the speed of your release include the following:
- The day/time you were arrested
- How many charges have been filed against you
- If additional charges are expected to be filed against you
- The type of charges connected to you
- Whether or not you need to attend an arraignment before bail is set
- Your criminal history
- If you have ever been convicted of a failure to appear
The employees at the jail are going to follow a strict protocol when you’re arrested. First, they’ll book you, and then they’ll put you in a jail cell. If you are only dealing with some extremely minor charges, such as driving on a suspended license, you will probably be told how much bail is needed and be released without an arraignment. If no arraignment is required, it’s likely that with the help of Palmdale Bail Bondsman & Bail Bonds, we can post a bail bond and have you released within a few hours of your arrest.
If you need an arraignment, things will take a little longer.
An arraignment is a type of trial. The judge isn’t listening to whether you’re innocent or guilty; they only want to know the charges you’re dealing with and some other basic information they’ll use to determine how high to set your bail. They will pay particular attention to your criminal history and your ties to the community. In addition to determining how much bail you require, the judge will also sometimes attach conditions to your bail. These conditions can include:
- Wearing electronic tracking
- Remaining confined to your home
- Travel restrictions
- Curfews
The last thing that impacts the length of time it takes to get you released from jail is whether you need a co-signer and/or collateral. Once everything is in order, we’ll quickly write the bail bond you require and deliver it to the jail.
