When Is Bail Denied?

A plain-language look at 'when is bail denied' for loved ones dealing with an arrest in California.

Overview

Bail can be denied in certain serious cases, or when a judge finds that release poses a danger or a flight risk. These decisions are made by a judge at a hearing.

What This Means for Families

A defense attorney can argue for release and for conditions. Check with the attorney what applies.

The Details

Some charges need a judge's approval before any release. A bond cannot be posted unless bail has been set.

What to Have Ready Before You Call

These details make the first call easier:

The jail or station where the person is held
The charges, if known
Your own name and phone number
The person's full legal name and date of birth
The booking number, if you have it
