You may have heard on the news that California Governor Jerry Brown recently signed a bill that will eliminate cash bail starting late next year.
If you have, you may be wondering what that means.
Instead of the bail system that is currently in place, California will begin to implement a new system of determining a defendants flight risk and risk to others in order to grant or deny them release before trial.
Of course, there are many kinks that need to be worked out before this plan is put into motion. Namely, how the pre-trial trial process will work, and how to make it fair.
The change in California has no effect on how things will be done in Louisiana. If you or a loved one is arrested, you will still have the opportunity to post bail in order to secure your release.
If you’re unable to cover your own bail, you can work with a bail bondsman to secure your release.
