<strong>How</strong> <strong>Do</strong> <strong>Tulsa</strong> <strong>Bail</strong> <strong>Bonds</strong> <strong>Work</strong>: <strong>From</strong> <strong>Getting</strong> <strong>Jailed</strong>, <strong>to</strong> <strong>Getting</strong> <strong>Out</strong><br />
<strong>Bail</strong> Bond<br />
If someone you are close <strong>to</strong> gets arrested, chances are you’re going <strong>to</strong> want <strong>to</strong> help them get out of jail<br />
as quickly as possible. At Signature <strong>Bail</strong> <strong>Bonds</strong> of <strong>Tulsa</strong>, this is our mission, <strong>to</strong>o. No one should have <strong>to</strong><br />
stay in jail a second longer than necessary. The sooner they’re able <strong>to</strong> get out, the sooner the justice<br />
process can begin. But, sometimes there is only so much individuals and organizations alike can do. Even<br />
getting someone out quickly can be a longer waiting period than most concerned friends or family<br />
members would like.<br />

With that in mind, it’s important <strong>to</strong> know and understand the process of bail bonds, and how a bail<br />
bonds company really works with you <strong>to</strong> get your loved one out of jail.<br />
What Happens After <strong>Getting</strong> Arrested<br />
If someone you know gets arrested, it’s simply not feasible <strong>to</strong> consider that a bail bondsman will be<br />
ready <strong>to</strong> meet them at the jail, and get them out right away. There is a specific process that needs <strong>to</strong><br />
occur. This includes the booking and processing of the person who was arrested. During this time, that
individual will be asked a series of personal identification questions. They will also be pho<strong>to</strong>graphed,<br />
fingerprinted, and the police will do a country-wide warrant search. This ensures that no matter the<br />
offense, the individual being booked doesn’t have any outstanding warrants out for them, that would<br />
keep them in jail for any other reasons.<br />
This particular warrant check actually has <strong>to</strong> go all the way <strong>to</strong> Washing<strong>to</strong>n DC, no matter where it’s<br />
being sent from in the country, and this is the longest part of processing, taking anywhere from 4-6<br />
hours. Once the results of the warrant check are returned <strong>to</strong> the jail, and everything comes back clear,<br />
bail can be posted.<br />
What You Can <strong>Do</strong><br />
Just because the process can take longer than you might like for your loved one <strong>to</strong> get booked, etc., it<br />
doesn’t mean you’re helpless. After your friend gets arrested, you can absolutely call a bail bonds<br />
company. The process of getting paperwork done and set up can take some time as well, so by calling a<br />
<strong>Tulsa</strong> bail bondsman as soon as possible, you’re getting the ball rolling, and doing your part <strong>to</strong> get that<br />
person out of jail as quickly as possible.<br />
Once the paperwork is completed, the bail bondsman simply has <strong>to</strong> wait for an ‘all clear’ from the jail, so<br />
he can then post bail for the arrested individual.<br />
What <strong>to</strong> Expect After <strong>Bail</strong> is Posted<br />
Once the bondsman posts the required bail amount, there will likely still be some waiting involved. This<br />
can be frustrating, especially when everyone is in a hurry <strong>to</strong> get that person out of jail. Unfortunately,<br />
there is no magic but<strong>to</strong>n or door that simply opens once the money is handed over.
Every jail has a similar process when it comes <strong>to</strong> their paperwork pro<strong>to</strong>col. The booking process when<br />
the defendant came in is just part of that. Jails also have a release process, with quite a bit of additional<br />
paperwork. While this paperwork is done in house (it doesn’t need <strong>to</strong> be sent anywhere), it can still take<br />
quite some time, especially in a busy jail. With this in mind, you might have <strong>to</strong> wait another 4-6 hours<br />
after bail is posted for the defendant <strong>to</strong> be released.<br />
<strong>How</strong>ever, once the person who was arrested is free, the process of working with the bondsman, and<br />
getting in<strong>to</strong> the justice system begins. Consider the fac<strong>to</strong>rs of using a bail bond, especially if you’re<br />
helping out a friend or family member. You may have <strong>to</strong> co-sign for them, which can be risky if you feel<br />
as though they can’t make payments on time. When someone we know and care about is arrested, it’s<br />
easy <strong>to</strong> let our emotions get the best of us. This can lead us <strong>to</strong> getting frustrated when it comes <strong>to</strong><br />
getting them out quickly, or thinking we should do whatever it takes <strong>to</strong> help them out.<br />
The most important thing you can do, as a friend or family member, is <strong>to</strong> respect the systems that are in<br />
place. This rings true for both the jailing process, and the bail bonds process. Thankfully, the more<br />
informed you are, the easier it is <strong>to</strong> stay calm, and make more reliable, responsible decisions that aren’t<br />
led by emotions. Patience is certainly a virtue when it comes <strong>to</strong> the jailing process. But, by taking the<br />
proper steps, and understanding the seriousness of signing a bail bond can provide peace of mind for<br />
you, and for the defendant. <strong>From</strong> their release, their case will be placed in the hands of the justice<br />
system, and the courts.<br />
