How Much Is Bail In Ontario?
After a person has been booked in Ontario, their bail will be set, based on the San Bernardino County Bail Schedule. The bail is determined by the crime for which a person has been arrested. If a person is able to pay the entire amount of their cash bail, they will be released, pending arraignment. Because most people don't have the money to post the entire amount of their bail, bail bonds are accepted in place of the cash bail amount.
