When is Bail set?
The Bail amount is set at the time of arrest.
If the defendant cannot afford the amount, he/she can petition the judge at arraignment for a lower amount. And, of course, they can use the services of a bail bondsman.
What is the difference between Bail and a Bail Bond?
Bail is the cash payment paid by the defendant to the court.
A bond is the bondsman’s pledge to make good on the bail if the defendant doesn’t appear.
