The bail bonds company is going to charge you usually a percentage, and typically it’s around 10% of what a bond is. So if a bond is say $1,500 you may pay a hundred and fifty dollars and that gets you out of jail. And then you have to, really you have to make sure that you’re reporting in to bail bonds companies and that way you stay out of jail. A client needs a bail bondsman or an attorney. What that does is it allows you to get out of jail and to go on about your life for a little while.
