ABOUT BAIL BONDS
When a person who is imprisoned cannot afford to pay the bail amount set by the judge, they may turn to a bail bond agency for help. A bail bondsman can assist in raising the funds through various means, such as using an individual's property as collateral. If the defendant has insufficient assets, the bail bondsman may also secure the property of their family members.
A bail bondsman is a professional who posts bail on behalf of a defendant. Bail bondsmen charge a fee, which is a percentage of the bail amount. In most cases, bail bondsmen will require collateral before they post bail. This can be in the form of property, cash or investments.
If the defendant fails to appear for their court date, the bail bondsman will be responsible for paying the bail amount to the court. The bail bond contract will also stipulate that the bail bondsman has the right to apprehend and surrender the defendant to authorities in order to recoup their losses.
Municipal courts issue City Bonds that provide two options for payment: either pay the entire cash amount to the jail or pay only 10% of the surety bond with a bondsman. At the City of Topeka Municipal Court, you have the freedom to choose between paying the full cash amount directly to the jail or opting to pay the surety amount to the bondsman.
The district court is responsible for granting County Bonds, which can be either cash or a surety amount. If you have been granted a County Bond, your loved ones have two payment options: they can either pay the full cash amount to the jail, or pay the bondsman the surety amount, which is typically 10% of the total bond.
An ORCD bond or Own Recognizance Cash Deposit bond involves paying the jail directly. In case the person fails to appear before the judge, the OCRD bond is forfeited to the court. If you are granted an OR bond and released from jail, it is crucial to show up in court. Failure to do so may result in the forfeiture of the bond amount and the issuance of a bench warrant.
