If you are facing an arrest warrant, you already feel the\npressure to turn yourself in to authorities. But once you do, you must remain\nin custody until the judge sets your bail. This can give you even more reason\nto put off your surrender to your arrest warrant considering you might be\nworried about paying for bail. After all, not many people have a few thousand\ndollars of disposable cash on hand, which is what\u2019s required of offenders who\nwish to post their bail through the jail. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To reduce the cost of bail, you can choose to use a bail\nbond service instead of dealing directly with the jail, which would allow you\nto pay only a portion of the total bond amount, thus giving you some financial\nrelief. However, this still requires you to pay out-of-pocket for their\nservices. Overall, posting your bail is up to you. You can choose to pay for\nbail, or you can choose to remain in jail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Continue reading to learn the most common factors that\ninfluence how long you will have to stay in jail if you cannot afford to pay\nfor bail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Factors That Influence Time in Jail<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

There are many factors that influence how long you will sit\nin custody before being allowed a release from jail. The first and most\ninfluential factor is the charge you are being arrested on. More serious crimes\nmight not be eligible for bail, which means you stay in jail until your court\nhearings are complete and you are given a verdict. Another factor is your\ncriminal history. If you are a habitual offender, a judge might not grant you\nbail. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Accordingly, if you have failed to appear for court in the\npast, the same consequence might occur. Smaller, but still impactful, factors\ninclude the activity and traffic within the jail, including how well-staffed\nthey are at the processing center. Also, anyone arrested under the influence of\ndrugs or alcohol will have to wait at least 8 hours to gain sobriety before\nbeing booked and processed in the jail. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If You Cannot Pay for Bail<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Your first hearing is usually held within 24 to 48 hours from the time of arrest (in the case of a warrant, the time of surrender), and is called your arraignment<\/em>, or initial hearing<\/em>. At the time of your arraignment, the judge will either set bail for you, or release you without bail (also known as \u201cOR\u201d, or \u201cown recognizance\u201d). If you cannot pay for bail or a bail bond, your only option is to remain in jail until your next court hearing, which is likely your trial where you will be found guilty<\/em> or not guilty<\/em>. You will be entered into \u201cremand detention\u201d, which is for defendants waiting for their trial. \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The time between your arraignment and your trial can range from a few weeks to several months, or even years. Most trials take place within two or three weeks. If you can\u2019t pay for bail, it is important to consult with your public defender lawyer who can help locate a local Indianapolis arrest warrant bail bondsman that can get you out of jail fast, and at a price you CAN <\/em>afford. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
