Central Women’s Jail Santa Ana

How does a bail bond work?

Bail is the amount that the arrested person is ordered to pay by the court in order to secure his or her release.

Bail bond is the guarantee provided by the bail bondsman to the court regarding the compliance of the defendant to his or her obligations—which is to attend all court proceedings.

The bail bondsman is posting bail on behalf of a defendant who doesn’t have the means to do so. As the guarantor of the defendant, the bail bondsman is assuring the court that he will pay the full bond amount if the defendant fails to appear on the intended trial dates.

For this service, the defendant will be charged a bond premium. Bond premiums will usually be 10% of the bail amount.

If the defendant attends all trial proceedings, the bail bond will be released by the court. If the defendant skips bail, the court will forfeit the bail and the judge will release a warrant for the defendant’s arrest.
