You Remain In Jail If You Don't Post Bail Every case is unique, and the time you spend in jail may differ from the time another person spends. Therefore if you don't post bail, you could remain in jail until your court hearings are completed, which may take weeks, months, or even years.

Take the booking number and the exact amount to the jail. County jails in Arizona accept currency, money orders, or cashier's checks. When you need a bond, you will provide your loved one's information to the bondsman. The bondsman will calculate the bond amount, and you will give them the bond fees and collateral.

Bail is what allows a person who has been arrested to remain out of jail while their case is pending. If a defendant is released on bail and makes all their legally required court appearances, the bail money will be returned.

Arizona's Constitution Art. 2 Section 22, provides a right to bail but there are exceptions. First, bail is prohibited for capital offenses. Second, bail is prohibited when a person was already admitted to bail on a separate felony charge and is subsequently charged with a new felony.
