Bond Information
What is a Bail Bond?
A bail bond is a type of security that is used to release a person from jail after they have been arrested and charged with a crime. The bail bond is paid to the court, and it ensures that the person will return to court for their scheduled hearings.
How to Post a Bond in Harrison County
To post a bond in Harrison County, you will need to contact a bail bondsman. A bail bondsman is a person who is licensed to sell bail bonds. Bail bondsmen typically charge a fee for their services, which is usually a percentage of the bond amount.
Once you have contacted a bail bondsman, they will need to collect some information from you, including:
- The name of the person who has been arrested
- The date of the arrest
- The charges against the person
- The amount of the bond
The bail bondsman will then file a bond with the court and pay the bond amount. Once the bond has been posted, the person who has been arrested will be released from jail.
Conditions of Bond
When a person is released on bond, they are typically required to comply with certain conditions, such as:
- Appearing in court for all scheduled hearings
- Not committing any new crimes
- Not contacting the victim or witnesses in the case
- Not leaving the jurisdiction without the permission of the court
If the person violates any of the conditions of their bond, the court may revoke the bond and order the person to be returned to jail.
