If you do not have the full amount of the bail in cash, you, a relative or friend can arrange to have a bail bondsman post a bail bond on you and obtain your release while awaiting the outcome of your case. After the trial ends, the court will discharge the bond and the bail bondsman will return the collateral that was given on your bail bond, average costs for this service is 10% on state bonds. The bondsman keeps this percentage for his services. The law does not automatically guarantee you the right to be released on bail. If the judge decides that the nature of your crime or other factors make you a danger to the community (the public), the judge is likely to set a high bail amount or, in some states, deny bail outright. You will then have to remain in jail until a judge or jury decides the case. The judge also will consider whether you are likely to flee if the court releases you on bail. Points in your favor include strong family ties in the area, if you are a longtime local resident and your current employment status. The judge also will consider any negative information that appears about you in a pretrial release report. If the judge decides that bail is appropriate, the issue then becomes the amount of bail money that you will have to post for your release. Your bail may not be excessive (unreasonably high). However, there are no specific guidelines about what the amount of bail should be. The prosecutor could possibly request to have no bail set. Your attorney is permitted to make a request to the judge to reduce the bail. The term for that is releasing you on your own recognizance (often abbreviated "O.R." or "R.O.R."). This means you will not have to post any bail money. However, you will have made a binding promise to return to court on a date specified by the judge. If the court grants you O.R. status or releases you on bail, you must reappear in court as agreed. If you do not appear, the judge could revoke your bail or O.R. status. The judge also could issue a bench warrant for your arrest. The police will find you, take you into custody, and place you in jail.
