When you are arrested for a felony and awaiting a trial, you may be able to get out of jail once bail is set. Often, the cost of the bail is more than a defendant can pay, leaving you behind bars until your trial. Bail can be paid by a bail bondsman to the court on your behalf. The bail bondsman will file paperwork with the court promising to pay the full amount of bail. This paperwork is called a bail bond and is a legal contract between the court and the bail bondsman. You are still required to show up for hearings and court proceedings and failure to do so will result in you being returned to jail.
Bail is set by the court and varies depending on the severity of the crime and the potential punishment. A felony bail could be anywhere from a few thousand dollars to hundreds of thousands of dollars.
You will most likely be sitting in jail until your trial which could take months or even years.
