How To Get Out of Jail – Bail & Bail Bondsmen

Once you’ve gone through the intake process, a bail amount will be decided either by bail schedule or judge. If no bail is set you will either be released, or you don’t get released while waiting for your court date.

If released you will be required to promise to appear in court, and you won’t be permitted to leave the county during this time.

The San Bernardino County Jail will give inmates time off in exchange for good behaviour if the rules are respected. Sometimes, you may be allowed to do work release, which involves going back to jail each day after your job, or you might be transferred to a halfway house instead of jail.
