Bail is a legal agreement between a defendant and a bail bond company to be released from jail for a fee with the promise to appear for their future court date. If bail is not paid, a defendant sits in jail until their day in court. A bail bond agent arranges to have the defendant released from jail in exchange for a monetary fee. A bond hearing will determine what the bail amount will be.

It means that the defendant failed to appear to court and the Judge has ordered the bond forfeited, also referred to as estreated. The bail bond company then has 180 days to locate the defendant and get him back into court, into jail, or the Judge will order a Judgment against the Utah bail company to replace the bond with the full amount that was posted.

A bail Recovery agent can revoke your bond for only a handful of reasons, and they should all be listed on a form given by agent called a Utah Disclosure which is required by all.

In Salt Lake ADC and the Purgatory jail in St George it usually takes around 2 hours for you to be booked (sometimes a little shorter or longer depending on the how busy). Once the bond is posted the jail says it takes 2-8 hours for their release but the average time is 4 hours. (This is also is determined by how busy they are)

Jail is one of the last places we ever want to see our loved ones. The uncertainty surrounding the whole jail experience affects not only the inmate, but it is often very stressful for their friends and family. If you find yourself in this situation, Bad Boys Bail Bonds Utah wants to provide you with the information you need so that the bail bond process goes as quickly as possible, and you can be reunited with your loved one.

Before starting the process of bailing a loved one out of a Utah jail, the individual must first be officially booked. Booking occurs after the arrest, and is simply an administrative process during which the authorities record information on the person and crime, take fingerprints and mugshots, search the defendant, and remove property.
 
After the booking process is complete, the individual is placed in a cell or, if they’ve been arrested for a minor offense, they may be given a written citation and released on their recognizance. The release can only occur after signing the citation and promising to appear in court at a later date.

The first thing to do when diving into the bail process is to start with the basics and gather the defendant’s personal information. You will want to include the individual’s:

• Name
• Date of birth
• Place of arrest, and
• Date of arrest (if known)
