What To Expect
After An Arrest
After you have or a loved one has been arrested, you are taken to the county’s nearest police station or holding cell, where you are given a pat-down, asked a series of questions about your personal information such as name, age, address, and birth date, get your personal items inventoried, get fingerprinted, have your photograph taken, and placed into a jail cell with other arrestees. Depending on what the charge is and what your potential, scheduled bail is according to the charge and any extenuating circumstances, you may be transferred to another holding facility as a safety precaution.

How is My Bail Set?
Final bail is always decided by a judge. The judge on your docket will take into account the crime you are charged with, the severity of the crime – including whether it was petty, a misdemeanor, a misdemeanor of a high and aggravated nature, or felony – any extenuating circumstances pertaining you to personally, or to the crime in question. Previous records will count for a lot as well. This includes documentation of your criminal record (if any), your attendance record of any previous trial proceedings, any record you may have of mental illness, alcohol abuse, or narcotic addiction, and how much of a threat, if any, that you pose to any individual or population upon possible release.
A judge makes this decision at arraignment. Arraignment is the technical first court proceeding that triggers a series of future trial proceedings. Nothing more is decided at arraignment beyond the defendant entering a plea, any requests made by the defense lawyer or the prosecutor, and the judge setting the bail amount with any extra conditional requirements attached to the bail – such as house arrest, the defendant turning in their passport, etc.
It is required that an arraignment hearing occur inside of 48 hours from the initial arrest (not including weekends and holidays).
Sometimes, depending on the county and the crime you’ve been charged with, there is a bail schedule. A bail schedule is an organized table, or list, of crimes and automatic bail assigned to those crimes. This can include common crimes such as a drug or theft charge. In the cases of these crimes, where your bail may be listed is determined by the type and how much of a narcotic was found in your possession or the total value of the stolen items (if between $0 and $250 your schedule-set bail may be much less than for those between $250.01-$500 or $500.01-$1,000).
In the case of applying a bail schedule, it is possible for your arrestee to post bail before their arraignment hearing. At the arraignment hearing itself, the judge can decide to either maintain the bail schedule’s amount, to increase it, decrease it, or release the defendant on what is called personal recognizance. Personal recognizance is rare as it requires total trust from the court that the defendant will participate in all future proceedings without further assurance or motivation. That is, frequently, where a bail bond is required as the total amount of bail is reimbursed at the conclusion of successful court proceedings. “Successful” in this case is not an indicator of determining guilt or innocence but rather that the defendant did attend every court date until his or her case was properly addressed and resolved. If bail is posted and the defendant runs, or “skips bail,” by not attending their next court date, then the bail money is automatically forfeited to the court and an arrest warrant for the defendant is signed. In these cases, both the police and bail bondsmen will locate the defendant again and will be jailed without the option of bail.
