Frequently asked questions
What is the jail booking process?
The jail booking process typically occurs following an arrest and detainment of a suspect and involves several steps, which may vary across counties:
- A police officer collects the suspect’s personal information
- Details of the alleged offense are documented
- Background checks are conducted for warrants and prior offenses
- Fingerprints and photographs are taken
- A body search is performed
- Health assessments are carried out to address medical needs or potential risks
- Personal belongings are confiscated
- The suspect is confined in a holding or jail cell
The agents at Bail Exchange are available 24/7 to help you navigate the bail process and get you or your loved one released from custody.
What is the bail bond process?
Once the inmate is fully booked, a bail amount is set for the defendant’s release. Our professional bail bond agents offer a free consultation and guide you through the process from start to finish, ensuring the safe release of your loved one and their return home.
How long does it take for a defendant to be released from jail?
The time it takes for a defendant to be released from jail can vary depending on factors such as the processing time at the jail and the availability of a bail bond agency. In some cases, defendants can be released within a few hours of posting bail. At Bail Exchange, our agents are available around the clock to ensure you or your loved one gets released and back home as soon as possible.
Can you bail someone out of jail on a weekend?
Yes, Bail Exchange operates 24/7, including weekends and holidays, to assist individuals.
How much does a bail bond cost in California?
The cost of a bail bond in California typically ranges from 10% of the total bail amount set by the court. This fee is non-refundable and serves as payment for the services provided by the bail bond agency.
For instance, on a $30,000 bail, the premium would be around $3,000, plus any applicable fees. If the full amount is unavailable, our agents at Bail Exchange will work with you to tailor a payment plan that works for you.
Can you bail someone out of jail with no money in California?
Bail Exchange offers tailored payment plans to help those who may not have immediate access to funds. However, some form of collateral or a cosigner may be required if full payment cannot be made upfront.
