More than two million Americans are incarcerated. Although the American penal system isn’t too lenient, you can be released from jail before your trial with help from jail release services Williamson County TX. Here are the most common ways people get out of jail before trial.
First, Bail Must Be Set
Bail, expressed in dollar amount, is how much you must pay to be released from jail until your trial is over. Certain jails use standardized charts based on what you’re charged with to set bail, which you’ll be notified of soon after being booked. Others require judges to manually set bail, which usually takes longer and only on weekdays.
With Cash
Bail is sometimes paid out of people’s own pockets – with cash. You may need to get a friend or family member to withdraw and deliver the cash to a court clerk.
With a Jail Bondsman
The most common way of getting out of jail is through a jail bondsman’s help. This person or business will require you to pay a fee of 10% upfront. The whole process usually takes at least two to four hours.
On Your Own Recognizance
Trusted members of communities are sometimes released for nothing but a promise to return to jail. This is called being released on your own recognizance.
