Why It’s Dangerous to Wait in Jail For Trial

Posted on Dec 21st, 2021 by Jesse Kleis 726 Views

If the bail amount that was set at your hearing is high, you might be seriously considering sitting in jail until your trial. This is rarely a good idea. Not only does being in jail make it much more difficult to plan your defense, it can cause irreparable damage to your health, finances and home life. No matter how high your bail is set, you shouldn’t opt for remaining in custody until you’ve spoken to an experienced bail bond agent in California about posting a bond. Mr. Nice Guy Bail Bonds excepts a wide range of payment options and can might even be able to get you out of jail with no money down. Call 844-400-2245 to get out of jail quickly.

Getting Out Of Jail Is Cost Effective

Days, weeks or months in jail could cause you to lose your job or your business to suffer loss of revenue. When you calculate the cost of a bail bond compared the amount of lost income you could lose from time out of work or lost employment, you’re likely to discover that getting out of jail as quickly as possible is quite cost effective. In addition, losing your job due to incarceration can make it very difficult to obtain future employment, even if you’re found not guilty at trial. If you have children, your family is probably depending you to care for them, even if it’s just after work and on weekends. This could result in additional expenses for childcare that can put additional pressure on your finances at a time you’re already hard pressed to come up with funds to pay your attorney. If the custody of your children is at issue, staying in jail would be considered a “change of circumstances” that could lead to a permanent change in custody status. An experienced California bail bond agency can usually obtain your release quickly.

Your Health and Safety Is At Risk In Jail

The risk of disease increases in communal living conditions where bathrooms, meal rooms and recreational areas are shared by a large group of people. This is why infectious diseases spread so quickly in prisons. According to the United States Department of Justice (DOJ,) 14% of jail inmates have reported suffering from infectious diseases such as tuberculosis, hepatitis B and C, sexually transmitted diseases and HIV. If you have a chronic condition such as diabetes, high blood pressure or heart disease, the level of care you will receive in jail isn’t likely to be as high as what you’re accustomed to, leading to complications that could impact your current health and your future quality of life. According to the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, there have been over 50,000 cases of Covid 19 in California jails and prisons, with close to 250 deaths. New variants of Covid 19 that are more deadly and/or more contagious are always a possibility, making staying out of jail an even greater priority at this time. In addition to the risk of serious infectious disease, poor care for chronic conditions and Covid 19, staying in jail puts you at risk for a host of nuisance ailments such as ringworm and athlete’s foot. There are so many good reasons to go home as soon as possible and no reason at all to stay in jail without speaking to an experienced California bail bond agency about options for purchasing a bail bond. Mr. Nice Guy Bail Bonds can often get you out of jail in just a few hours. Call 844-400-2245 to get the process started.

Waiting In Jail Can Hurt Your Case

The Sixth Amendment to the United States Constitution provides criminal defendants with the right to a speedy trial. California Penal Code 1382 provides criminal defendants in California charged with misdemeanors with the right to go to trial within 30-45 days of an arraignment. Defendants charged with felonies have a right to go to trial within 60 days. Criminal defendants may waive their right to a speedy trial and in most cases this is preferable in order to give your defense attorney more time to prepare your case. Preparing for a criminal trial includes the following labor intensive and time consuming tasks:

  • Conducting legal research;
  • Collecting evidence;
  • Analyzing evidence;
  • Finding and interviewing witnesses;
  • Preparing witnesses to testify and
  • Responding to motions prosecutorial motions.

Once you’ve waived your right to a speedy trial, it could be many months or even years before your case gets to trial. Court closures due to Covid 19 have backed up the courts, making wait times even longer. Going home also helps you maintain a positive position in the community, especially if you make a point of doing valuable service to your community while waiting for trial.  If you’d like to get out of jail as soon as possible, an experienced California bail bond agency has more ways than you think to make this happen.
