If you have never dealt with an arrest before, start here.

Most people we talk to have never had to think about bail before tonight, so let's keep it simple.

When someone is arrested, the court wants some assurance that they will come back and face the charge. Bail is that assurance, set as a dollar amount. Families have a choice: put up the entire amount with the court, or work with a bail bond company that guarantees it on their behalf for a fee.

Whichever route you take, your loved one still has to appear in court every time they are told to. Bail is about where they wait for the case, not about the case itself.
