Estrella Bail Bonds Star Bondsman Company Miami, Florida Fianza

The term Bail is used in several distinct senses: (1) It may mean the security-cash or bond-given for the appearance of the prisoner. (2) It may mean the bondsman (i.e., the person who acts as surety for the defendant's appearance, and into whose custody the defendant is released). (3) As a verb, it may refer to the release of the defendant (he was bailed out). The first meaning is the most common and should be employed for clarity.

Admission to bail is the order of a competent court that the defendant be discharged from actual custody upon bail. The discharge on bail is accomplished by the taking of bail (i.e., the acceptance by the court or magistrate of security-either an undertaking or deposit-for the appearance of the defendant before a court for some part of the criminal proceeding).

Bail is evidenced by a bond or recognizance, which ordinarily becomes a record of the court. The bond is in the nature of a contract between the state on one side and the defendant and his sureties on the other. The agreement basically is that the state will release the defendant from custody the sureties will undertake that the defendant will appear at a specified time and place to answer the charge made against him. If the defendant fails to appear, the sureties become the absolute debtor to the state for the full amount of the bond.

In Florida the jails set bail amounts as listed in the county jails bail schedule. A person arrested in Florida and charged with a crime that is bondable by the jails bail schedule is able to post bond immediately after his/her booking is completed. If you do not bond out within 24 hours you will be taken to see a judge for a bond hearing, at this time your current bond could be reduced, increased or denied. Most people elect to bond out instead of going to a bond hearing. Keep in mind that if you are charged with a non-violent or misdemeanor offense and your prior arrest record is clean you would most likely be given a ROR release.
