1. Within 24-48 hours following an arrest, a judge will set the bail amount during bail hearing.
2. The defendant then has the following options if the judge does not allow an own recognizance bail:
a. Choose to do nothing and remain in jail until the court date
b. Pay the full amount of the bail in cash out of pocket or via acceptable property. The defendant will then be released but will not get these funds back until returning on the court date.
