How Is South Bay Bail Set?

In the state of California bail is set by something called the County Bail Schedule and that schedule is set annually by a panel of judges. Ultimately it corresponds different crimes with different bail amounts.

Every county operates a bit differently, meaning someone charged with DUI in Los Angeles County will likely have their bail set at a different rate than were they arrested in the county of San Diego.

The severity of the crime, whether the defendant is considered to be a flight risk and whether they have a prior history of arrest is also taken into consideration. If someone has been arrested locally they will have the option of working with a South Bay bail bondsman once their bail has been set. Bail bonds companies charge a non-refundable fee, usually 10% of the total bail amount, in order to post a bond. This not only allows a person to get out of jail before their trial, it serves as a promise that the defendant will return to court in order to have their case resolved.
