What Does Bond Mean in Jail?

When someone you care about is arrested in Florida, they are fingerprinted, a mugshot is taken, and a statement is asked of the defendant. A majority of court systems in Florida use bond schedules that suggest bail amounts for arrestees to pay in exchange for their pretrial release. If a person is suspected of a violent crime and/or has a criminal history, they may not be eligible for bail at all. And under other circumstances, a defendant may be eligible for pretrial release without cash bail.

How to Bond Someone Out of Jail

After a bail amount has been set for the inmate’s release, he then has the option to pay the full amount of bail set by the courts or to contact a bail bonds agent. A Florida bail bondsman will charge a small percentage of the full bond amount, usually 10 percent for state offenses and 15 percent for federal offenses. Any fees paid to a bail bond agent are non-refundable. However, if a defendant pays the full set bail amount provided by the court and abides by all court ordered requirements for his release, including attending all court hearings, that money will be refundable minus any court fees after the trial is completed.

Who Can Bail Someone Out of Jail?

In most cases, an indemnitor (someone who completes the bond paperwork and arranges for the inmate’s release) will take care of filling out the bail bond application and arranging payment. This person will also be responsible for making sure the defendant shows up for all of his court dates and abides by all court ordered requirements for their pretrial release. Anyone with a valid ID over the age of 18 is eligible to act as an indemnitor on behalf of an inmate.
