Oregon Bail Bonds: Why This Is Not A State With Agents

Oregon bail bonds can only be purchased through the city, state or county jail or court system in which the criminal defendant is being held. This is due to the fact that this state is not one that allows for commercial sale of bail bonds. Although the process of getting a bail bond is the same, minus the agent, individuals will likely have to pay more for it than they would if they were able to work through a bondsman. Yet, in Oregon, bail bonds can only be purchased through the city, state or county in which they are being held.

In order to know how much bail is going to be needed, individuals will first need to go through their arraignment. During this very short and fast court appearance, several things will happen. First, individuals will need to appear, as they will be told what the charges against them are. Then, they will be provided with information about their next court appearance. Finally, they will be told if bail will be set for them and how much it will be set at. This is when they will have the opportunity to learn the cost of the bail bonds.

From this point, the individual will need to contact someone to help them to post bail if they are planning to. This is normally done at the jail house or sometimes in the court house. In some cases and areas of Oregon, the bail amount can be paid in partial. In some cases, a bail bond can be purchased which would secure the release. Most of the time bail bonds must be secured by an asset. For example, this may be the home that the individual has or other personal collateral. Should the individual skip bail, which means that they did not show up for their expected court date, they would forfeit the bond and the assets may be confiscated because of it.

Throughout Oregon, the criminal defendants that are seeking bail can do so by contacting their local jail. The process for being released once a bail bond is in place is fast and easy. What is hard is paying for them. Yet, many individuals do not want to wait months in jail, should it take that long, for their next court appearance or trial to begin.
