HOW FEDERAL BAIL IS DETERMINED

Criminal offenses are cross referenced with the county bail schedule in order to determine what bail will be set at.  Defendants charged with federal crimes, however will need to appear before a federal magistrate and it is up to the magistrate to decide whether they will grant or deny bail.   The magistrate may choose to release someone on recognizance,  grant bail with conditions such as random drug testing, grant bail without restrictions or deny bail altogether.

• Attorneys are permitted to meet with their clients between the hours of 8 a.m. and 9 p.m. Monday through Sunday.  Time limitations to not apply for legal visits.

• Inmates may also elect to be visited by a representative, clergy person, priest or spiritual advisor.  Pastoral visits may take place during regular visiting hours.

FEDERAL BAIL BOND PROCESS

Federal crimes are considered to be more serious than state crimes and oftentimes defendants will have their bail set higher than were they charged with a criminal offense.  Because these types of bonds are considered to be “higher risk”, the expert federal bail bondsman you work with will require collateral be posted in order to secure the bond.
