It can be a terrifying experience going through the jail system. Many situations permit someone from being released while you fight your charges and its nearly impossible to do so while you’re behind bars. Depending on your situation, the judgewill set a bond, a lump sum of money that allows you to walk the streets while your case is being resolved. The bond is set by a judge based upon many factors, including your criminal history and the perceived flight risk.
