Can Bail Be Revoked?
General information on can bail be revoked, written for relatives and friends of someone in custody.
Overview
Yes. A court can revoke or change bail if the person breaks a condition of release, is charged with a new offense or misses a hearing. The judge decides, and the person may be taken back into custody.
How It Works
Missing a court date is a common reason. It can lead to a bench warrant and can put a bond at risk. If it happens, contact the bondsperson and the defense attorney when you learn of it.
What This Means for Families
Following every release condition and keeping every hearing date are the main protections. Save the court paperwork where you can find it.
