Idaho Bail Bonds: Understanding Options

For the criminal defendant in Idaho, bail bonds can be purchased and used to secure the release of an individual after their arraignment in court. The judge in the case will set the amount of which the bail is to be paid before the individual can be freed. In any type of bond, though, the individual must appear at court as determined by law in the state of Idaho. Bail bonds are used to secure their appearance. In order to fund these bonds, there are several methods that the individual can seek to use.

Commercial Bonds

When an individual can not make payment on the bail bond, the defendant can turn to a commercial bail bond agent. These can help the individual to pay for the total bond amount for a lower fee. The fee is a non refundable fee which is usually about ten percent of the total cost of the bond. Once the fee is paid, the agency will contact the court or jail system and insure coverage of the bond. Normally, in the state of Idaho, these jurisdictions know and work with the agents enough to allow coverage to happen almost immediately. Once this happens, an individual is freed until their next court appearance.

Other Bonds

The most common bond is a personal bond which is paid by the defendant or someone else on the defendant's behalf. These bonds must be paid or secured with property before the individual can actually be released. Also, the bonds are usually for a percentage or can be for the total amount of the judge's imposed bail.

Idaho Agents

For individuals in Idaho, these bail bond agents in the commercial sense can be found in all major cities. In many cases, they can be contracted right online. Cities such a Boise City, Garden City, Meridian Star, or even counties can use these bonds as necessary. All agencies that work in the state of Idaho, though, will be required to submit an insurance bond to the department of insurance of the state prior to being able to represent any individual. Bail bonds can be obtained by individuals rather quickly in most cases.
