ARREST, RELEASE AND JAIL INFORMATION

When someone is arrested in or around the Sunnyvale area, they will usually be transported to the Santa Clara County Main Jail Complex for booking into the system. The arrest and booking process consists of photographing, fingerprinting, and background check. It’s important to know that this process can take several hours to complete. During the booking process, a bail bond can not be posted.

The Santa Clara County main jail is located at 150 West Hedding Street in downtown San Jose. When choosing to bail someone out of the main jail complex, we always recommend starting the bail process as quickly as possible to expedite their release.

Release from this facility may often take between 2 to 4 hours, depending on the workload of the jail staff and the defendant’s individual case. It’s also important to know that if the defendant is not bailed out, he or she will generally remain in custody until the matter has been handled in court.

BAIL COSTS AND PAYMENT OPTIONS

A bail bond in Santa Clara County typically costs 10%, which is the California mandated law. This is the non-refundable percentage of the total amount of the bail. For example, if the bail amount is set at $15,000, your portion would be $1,500.

At 888 Bail Bond, we accept all major credit cards including Visa, MasterCard, American Express and Discover. Most clients find using a credit card the easiest way to pay for a bail bond. You may also choose to pay in cash. It’s your choice.

We understand that not everyone may have a perfect credit history, especially in these uncertain financial times. We offer several payment options and most of our customers find it easy to qualify for a signature bond. Very often, bail bond collateral will not even be required.
