When a loved one is in jail, family members often need help posting bond. The bail bonding process can be confusing to people who’ve never been through it before. Here’s what people need to know about bail bonds in Daytona.
A Call to the Local Bail Bondsman is Placed
When a person is arrested, they’re processed at a detention facility. Once the processing is done, they’re allowed a phone call. If they call a bail bondsman, they’ll provide that person with relevant information to begin the bail bond process. If the detained person calls a family member for help, that family member or friend will go through the process with the bondsman.
Complete the Paperwork
The detained individual can’t complete the paperwork on their own behalf, because they can’t go to the bondsman’s office. The family member or friend will do it for them and get the paperwork done as quickly as possible. However, after the detainee is released, there is more paperwork that needs to be completed. The detainee will do this at the bondsman’s office.
Posting Bond
Once a bond is secured, the bail bondsmen take care of posting the bond at the detention facility. They handle the entire process so family members don’t have to go to the detention center themselves.
Full Compliance is Expected
When bail is posted, the defendant is expected to attend all court dates and follow the court’s directions. If a court date is missed, a bench warrant could be issued and bail could be revoked.
