When Can I Post A Jail Bond?

You can post a jail bond as soon as bail is set in your specific case.  Typically bail is set during a first court appearance. This hearing takes place within 24 hours of an arrest at the local courthouse. Sometimes, a defendant will be transported to the courtroom for the hearing or they will appear via a video monitor from a special room at the jail.  Once a judge sets bail, then, by law, you’re allowed to post bond to get your loved one out.

As we mentioned earlier, they are several jail bond types to consider when posting bail.  If you have the cash, you can pay the bail in its entirety to the courthouse.  However, please note, you will not get your money back until your case reaches a resolution.  It can often take months, sometimes years for a final verdict in a case.  If you don’t have the cash, but have a valuable home or piece of land, you can post a property bond.  You can also work directly with a jail bond company agent at Rush Bail Bonds, to post a surety bond.

What Are The Jail Bond Types In Alabama?

There are several jail bond types available for you to choose from.  It can be overwhelming and confusing to decide if the jail bond types available are a good fit for you and your family.  Let’s start with the bail amount.  Can you afford to pay the entire bail amount right now? If you can, this may be a good option for you.  If bail is not in your budget, do you have a piece of valuable property?  If you have a home at least equal to the bail amount, you may want to pursue this jail bond type.  However, many families don’t have the cash or property needed to choose these jail bond types.
