Getting Someone Out of Jail Quickly in Florida

If you need to get someone out of jail quickly, it can be done. Most of the time, when this needs to be done, it’s because somebody gets picked up on a weekend or in the evening and they need to get out in time to make it to work and take care of everything else in their life as soon as possible. The following advice assumes that the person was picked up for something relatively minor, that they don’t have warrants or an extensive criminal history to consider and that the judge has allowed Florida bail.

Get the Info

If you’re going to get into the nitty-gritty of getting someone out of jail, the first thing you have to do is become an information gathering machine. You’re going to need to get every applicable piece of information possible about their arrest. This includes what they were arrested for, their booking number, the jail they’re being held at and the amount required to bail them out. It might take a while for the police to get this all together, but there’s no harm in calling back over and over until you get it.

At the same time that you’re gathering this information, you can get in contact with a bail bondsman. This allows you to get started with the paperwork involved in bailing the person out of jail, which can make it easier when you have the amount and you pay for the bond.

If the person was picked up on a minor offense and they don’t have any priors, it’s likely that the bail amount is not going to be excessive. It may be over $1000, but this is entirely doable if you’re working with a bail bondsman.

The Florida bail bondsman provides an alternative to posting the full amount of bail. They will put up a bond for the full amount with the expectation that the person who was arrested makes it to their court date. If the person doesn’t make it to their court date, a warrant will be issued for their arrest and the bail bondsman will start using their own resources to look for that person, as the bail bondsman is liable for the full amount originally set for bail by the judge if the defendant skips.

Once you have all the information and the bail bondsman has all the paperwork needed, all you have to do is pay for the bond, meet the bondsman at the jail and get the person out.
