If you are arrested and then booked, no matter if it is a county, state or federal facility, the facility that did the arresting will review the charges to determine if the defendant has any previous charges. Jail Bonds in Sedgwick County will then be set and the amount will be based on the severity of the actual charges, whether or not the arrested individual has a prior offense and the number of charges they have in total. This information will also be used to select the type of jail bond the individual is eligible for.
If the circumstances dictate, no jail bond may be issued. In fact, the holding facility may actually release the defendant, or they may not want to offer a bond amount, at all. If the crime is particularly severe, or if the defendant is determined to be a threat to themselves, or society, there will be no jail bonds set and the person that was arrested will have to remain in jail until their scheduled date in court to find out if they will be allowed to leave on bail.
Jail Bonds in Sedgwick County may be a cash bond, property bond or a surety bond. If there is a cash bond set, then the defendant or another third party has to pay it in full. If it is a surety bond, then the third party will have to contact a bondsman. This person will require information about the defendant, including their current charges, name, and social security number and where they are being held. The bondsman will then determine whether or not they will take the risk and provide a bail bond.
The contract that is ultimately issued has to be signed by a friend or family member and then the bondsman will guarantee the appearance of the arrested individual at all of the scheduled court appearances. If the defendant skips bail, then the friend or family member that signed the contract will be responsible for the entire amount of the bond. The initial premium is usually 10 percent of the entire bond that is issued making this an Affordable Bail Bonds option for those in jail.
