## How Bail Bonds Work in California

1. Person is arrested and booked at the Stanislaus County Public Safety Center
2. Bail is set by a judge or bail schedule (typically 1-8 hours after booking)
3. Family or co-signer contacts a licensed bail agent
4. Agent collects 10% premium (non-refundable, set by CA law) and indemnitor agreement
5. Agent posts bond with the facility
6. Defendant is released and must appear at all court dates
7. Bond is exonerated when the case concludes

## Frequently Asked Questions

**How much does a bail bond cost?**
In California, the bail bond premium is set by law at 10% of the total bail amount. This fee is non-refundable once the bond is posted.

**Do you require collateral?**
Collateral is not required on most bonds. Approval is based on the overall situation, not a credit score.

**Are payment plans available?**
Yes. Payment plans are available. Approval is based on the full picture, not a credit score.

**How long does release take after posting bail?**
Release times vary by facility workload. At the Stanislaus County Public Safety Center, release typically takes 2-6 hours after the bond is posted.

**What happens if the defendant misses court?**
The court declares the bond forfeited. The indemnitor (co-signer) becomes liable for the full bail amount. Contact the agent immediately if a court date may be missed — acting early changes the outcome.
