Well, this helped me some what but I was just wondering that if someone has two 500.00 cash bonds which makes it a 1,000.00 cash bond and then there is a 1,000.00 surety bond...how does it work? like, can you still have your surety bond signed and what would happen with the 1,000.00 cash bond?

There are many misconceptions about posting bail. Their are three types of bail, Cash, Property, or Surety. A cash bond is exactly that. You will need to take cash or a money order, to the jail, exact change only. Don't forget the jail fees. A property bond is becoming very rare. In Colo. most jails are not allowing them. These can take up to 3 weeks to get posted thru the court. A surety bond is placed by a licensed bail bonds agent (usually state regulated). The fees, depending on the state, can be as much as 15%. Check your local state for amount. Colo is up to 15%. Be well informed before posting a bond. If it sounds to good to be true it is. Place many calls, check the internet for info. A good bail bondsmen works for you. -

After all is said and done, many states refund the bail money to whoever posted the bail. So if you give your girlfriend the cash to bail you out, when your case is over the court will reimburse her, not you, with a check.

Many states prohibit the use of bail bondsmen. In many cases, bail for lesser crimes (e.g. misdemeanor and traffic offenses) is pre-set and does not require an appearance before a judge or magistrate. A ten percent cash surety of the full bond is often required to get a person out of jail pending a future court appearance. If the arrestee fails to appear at his or her court appearance or otherwise violates the terms of the bail bond, then the court may enter a judgment for the full amount of the bond.

Some jails will not even take cash. You have to get a money order to pay the bail. Find out which they will accept before you go.
