If someone can’t afford bail, they may have to stay in jail until their trial. Bonds can be obtained from organizations or by asking friends and family for money. Bail is refundable if the person returns for their trial. If all options are exhausted, the person must stay in jail until their trial.
If a person cannot afford bail, they typically have to remain in jail until the crime for which they have been arrested has been resolved. There are bonds available for people who simply cannot afford to pay this expense out of pocket, but sometimes these are the only institutions that will lend a person money for this type of expense. Many people who cannot individually afford the cost of getting out of prison have to appeal to friends and family to raise the amount of money needed to obtain their release. When the money absolutely cannot be raised, the person has no choice but to remain in prison.
Bail is money that can be returned to a person, assuming they return to their trial. Therefore, even if someone’s entire bank account has to be spent to get out of jail, a person can sometimes afford the expense because that money will eventually be paid back. It is important to understand that until a person returns to stand trial, that money is not money spent but simply money committed to the cause.
Often, an individual must use bail to get out of jail. These bonds are usually issued by special organizations that perform this specific function and lend money exclusively for this purpose. You can find these organizations online, but there are often several slavers located near institutions that require bail. These slaves usually charge a fee related to the total amount of the bail, which can be quite large in itself and is usually non-refundable.
When getting a bond isn’t an option, sometimes an individual can raise enough money to get out of jail by contacting friends and family and asking for small amounts of money. If someone is trustworthy and their social relationships believe that the money will eventually be returned in full, even large sums of money can sometimes be raised this way. For specific causes, it may be possible to raise bail money from strangers if the perpetrator is likable and people feel the cause is important.
If all options have been exhausted and a person still cannot afford the price set by the court, they have no choice but to remain in prison until their trial, which could be many weeks away. For petty nonviolent crimes, many people find this to be both a waste of resources and an unfair form of punishment, particularly if there is a chance that the person will be found innocent. In the big picture, the best thing to do if a person can’t afford bail is to talk to anyone who will listen about the injustice of some people who can buy pre-trial parole while the poor have to stay in jail.
