No matter where you live in Ohio, bail works in the same way. When a person is accused of committing a crime, the person can be arrested and taken to jail for booking. Once in jail, the defendant will be held until the completion of his or her trial. However, in many cases when the offense has not posed imminent danger to those around him/her (such as murder), the defendant has the right to reasonable bail so that they may be released from jail on that bail.

Bail may not necessarily be the same for the same crime across all counties in Ohio. And, the bail amount may vary a great deal depending on what the defendant's criminal history and behavior.

Because many defendants may not be able to pay the full amount of the bail on their own, they have the right to use the services of a bail bonding agency. A bail bonding agency is in the business of providing defendants with the full amount of money that they need in order to get out of jail until their trial is complete. Normally, what is required is the "BOND FEE", "REQUIRED COURT FEES" and an "INDEMNITOR" (or commonly known as a co-signer).

Next, the bail is paid to the court (or accepted by the sheriff's department in "after court hours") by the bail bond agent, The courts retains the money in the form of a surety bond. The defendant is to appear at each and every court appearance demanded and scheduled by the court. When the defendant completes the criminal trial, the bond is not released but not until after the defendant has completed all of his/her legal obligation. For this reason, bail bonding agencies have a vested interest in ensuring that defendants complete their criminal trials. Surety bonds are also commonly known as "appearance bonds". The liability of the bonding company and the indemnitor is based on the appearance of the defendant from first court date to last court date.
