Following an arrest, bail is usually set according to a published bail schedule or following the magistrate warning by a local justice of the peace. Bail is made with cash or a bond. A bond usually requires about a 10% fee to a bondsman and sometimes requires collateral. The bondsman’s fee is non-refundable. A cash bail is returned, less a small administrative fee, when the case is concluded. Bail reductions are often obtained by negotiations with the prosecutor or by filing bond reduction motions with the court.
