Bail at the Riverside County Jail
When a person is arrested and charged with a crime, there is an amount of bail set by the court that will allow that person to get out of jail while the legal process gets worked through. The process of working through criminal charges, from beginning to end, can be time-consuming. Most people do not want to sit in jail while the lawyers and judges work things out. They have work and families that need their attention. So the court set up the bail process, as a way of ensuring that if someone got out of jail, they would still show up for hearings and trial.
Bail money is deposited with the court and then returned to the defendant once the charges have been resolved. If someone else pays the bail on the defendant's behalf, the bail is returned to the person who paid it to the court. Property can also be used to pay for bail. But, if a property is used, the value of the property must be twice the amount of the bail being asked.
Who Can Bail Me Out of Jail in Riverside County?
If the court believes that the money being used to pay your bail came from illegal activity, they can hold you in jail until they can have a hearing about the money being used to post bail. The court gives a person the opportunity to post bail if they believe the person is likely to show up for hearings and trial because of the money they paid for bail. If the money being used for bail was gotten by illegal means, then the court has good reason to believe that there is enough additional money that the bail won't ensure cooperation with the legal system in the future.
As long as the funds being used to bail a person out of jail do not seem suspicious to the court authorities, almost anyone can post bail for another person in Riverside County.
How Do I Get Bail Bonds at The Robert Presley Detention Center?
If a person doesn't have the money on hand to just pay their bail (and most people don't), then you call a bail bondsman like Mr. Nice Guy Bail Bonds. A bail bondsman is a person who is licensed by the state and works with an agency to post bail for others. When a bond company pays the bail, it is underwritten by a type of insurance company called a Surety Company. The state of California and the individual Surety Company both regulate how bail bondsman can operate. He is required to charge a premium for the person for whom he is posting bond. Once a person has paid the premium, for themselves or another person, the bail bond company will then post the bail with the court so that the defendant can get out of jail.
Call Mr. Nice Guy Bail Bonds to get started with the bail bond process and get home to friends and family, as soon as possible. Call (844)400-BAIL (2245) to get out of jail fast. Have the inmates full name, birth date, and booking number when calling, for fastest service.
