Options to Pay Your Bond

If you have been charged with a crime, you may be eligible for bail or bond. However, what happens if you are unable to pay for it or paying bond represents a financial hardship? The good news is that there are still options to help you get out of jail while your case is being contested.

First, you may be eligible for a 10 percent bond. This means that you only have to put up 10 percent of the amount that you need to get out of jail. If your bond was $10,000, you would only have to give the bondsmen $1,000. If your bail was $1,000, you would only be liable for $100.
