If You Don’t Post Bail: What Happens?
- Disadvantages
When you don’t post bail you or your loved one are faced with a variety of disadvantages. For example when you remain in jail you only have limited access to necessary resources. Depending on the seriousness of your offense you may need to build a case, hire a lawyer, arrange for time away from work or arrange childcare. When you’re incarcerated it is not uncommon to have limited or no access to a phone or a computer. Which can negatively impact your ability to receive the justice you deserve.
- Risks
Along with disadvantages there are also risks you take when you choose not to post bail. Depending on your work situation you risk losing your job. If you are unable to work while you await your hearing you also risk falling behind on payments. Which can have long term negative effects on your credit and financial situation.
