Should You Post Bail Quickly? The Practical Impact

When a friend or family member has been arrested you most likely will experience a wide range of emotions.  From sadness, anger, betrayal or heartbreak.  We understand this can be a very trying time on you.  If you find yourself asking the question, should you post bail quickly?  We would like to weigh in on why it’s important to post bail quickly.  We understand depending on your situation you may be considering teaching them a lesson.  However that choice may have a harmful and long lasting impact on the individual arrested.

Practical Impact

When someone is arrested their personal belongings are confiscated.  This means they will not have access to their phone, purse, wallet, credit or debit cards.  Additionally there can be limited or no internet access available.  While this may seem like a minor inconvenience it can have a negative impact.  When someone has been arrested it’s important that they begin building their case.  This means contacting lawyers or people who can help them work through the legal process.  When access is restricted like it is in most institutions it can be very difficult if not impossible to get in touch with the help they need.  Another practical way staying incarcerated can have a negative impact is with their job.  If the defendant is unable to contact their place of employment or return to work they may lose their job.  This may be more than an inconvenience and can have serious negative impact on the defendant.
