WHAT IS AN OWN RECOGNIZANCE (O.R.) RELEASE IN SOUTH BAY?

If you've ever watched a television law-drama that shows an araignment scene, you may have heard terms such as "bail", "remand" and "release on own recognizance (O.R.)". Just because you've heard the terms, though, you might be a little hazy as to what they mean.

If you know someone who has been arrested and taken to a South Bay jail, your need to understand these terms just got more personal.

When a person's bail has been set, 10% of the full amount will need to be posted in order to get them out of jail. Remand means the person has been deemed ineligible for a pre-trial release. It's also possible that they will be released O.R., which means the defendant simply needs to promise to appear for future court proceedings releating to the crime they've been charged with in order to get out. By law, OR release is for the indigent (poor).

If someone you know has been arrested in South Bay it is far more likely that bail will be set. Should you find yourself in a place where you need to help get someone out of jail an expert bondsman from Adelate Bail Bonds can answer your questions.
