The getting out of jail term is called “Bail” or “Bailing Out”. Bail, in general, is the term for the amount that the court sets which you are required to pay for securing your release and to promise to show up at your court dates.

There Are 2 Ways to Get Out of Jail

The first is Cash or “Cash Bond”. This a bond that is posted in person and the amount in full at the facility where your loved one is being held. A Cash Bond at any amount can be paid based on the resources of the individual posting the Cash Bond. The only disadvantage is you have to come up with all the money at once, which can take up some time for most people who have those resources.

The second note on Cash Bail is you will get your money back minus any court fees or possibly restitution if your loved one follows the rules of the court and does not do any of the following:

• Miss Court Dates
• Get Re-arrested
• Violate any Terms or Conditions from the Court/Judge Specifically
• Violate any General Terms or Conditions of Bail from the Court

The second way is a “Bail Bond” or “Bonding Out”. This is a bond posted by a Bail Bonds Company. Also known as a “Surety Bond”. A Surety Bond is posted by a Bail Bonds Company that has been licensed by the State of Nevada Insurance Division and is vetted by the issuing Bond Insurance Company. A 15% premium fee/commission is added on top of the Bond cost and is Not negotiable by state law. The total amount of the Bond can be paid in different ways such as cash, cashier’s check, money order, credit card, or secured with property, such as Real Estate, Vehicle Title, Jewelry, Guns, Electronics, and other items of a secure value. 

The second Note on Bail Bond is you will get your money or collateral back minus any other fees if your loved one follows the rules of the court and does not do any of the following:

• Miss Court Dates
• Get Re-arrested
• Violate any Terms or Conditions from the Court or Judge Specifically
• Violate any Terms or Conditions of Bail Bonds Company

Final Analysis

Cash Bond and Bail Bond will both work to get your loved one out of jail. A Cash Bond may take longer if you don’t have the resources readily available. Cash Bond may put your family’s financial status in jeopardy. Using a Bail Bond Company could require less out-of-pocket cash or collateral. A Bail Bonds Company knows the system, has the resources to get your loved one out of jail faster and it puts a little less risk on your family’s immediate financial operating cash. All in all, Bonds are designed for only one purpose and that is making sure the accused will show up in court while staying out of jail until the process is completed and settled.
