what is the legal procedure for setting bail for possible criminals?
395768
Bail amounts are predetermined.  The booking officer looks refers to a chart that lists crime categories and corresponding bail amounts.  Bail can be reduced at your arraignment which you are entitled to within 72 hours of your arrest.  Your attorney can request you bail amount be reduced or you be released on your own recognize (O.R.)Some charges are no bail and others are a cite and release.  Usually you pay the bail bondsman 10% and may have to prove additional collateral.  The police can request a Judge increase you bail amount or issue a no bail at the time of your booking if they want to prevent you from being released.  California

it all depends on the crime really and the institution were a person is being held

none... they can arrest anyone they want to.... however, they need something to hold you on and that is another story.... but to arrest you and haul you to jail... they need nothing other than their desire to do it. They are the law and that is the bottom line... but they need to charge you with something in a certain amount of time although they can hold you without charging you for probably 24 hours... or so... depending on where you are located. \nMany foreign countries can pick you up and hold you forever..... and probably no one but them will know you even exist.... be glad you are in the US... you at least have a chance at defending yourself in court....

It depends upon the crime he has been charged with. The courts are not compelled to release people they believe to be a danger to society or a flight risk, however they can't hold them without cause either. His lawyer should be filing a Writ of Habeus Corpus if there is some question.

Unless he pays the bond he will remain in custody until the case is adjudicated (finished).  He might, however, suggest to his attorney to file a "Motion to Modify Release Orders".  The motion would request the lowering of the bail bond amount.  Frequently, if ou have been incarcerated for a month or two the judge may lower the bond and or release the person to pre-trial services and eliminate the bond.  \n\nThis motion, however, is not automatic and the defendant should discuss this with his attorney.

Other than help them get the best lawyer you can afford, I don't really know.\n\nIf they are in jail, a good lawyer might be more likely to get them out on bail.  They are more likely to rebut the prosecution's case or to come up with evidence to exonerate this person.\n\nIf their bail is too high for them to be released, perhaps you could help with securing a bond.  It all depends on how much you can or want to help.

Sounds like you are suggesting we detain people that COULD commit a crime. Sorry still cant do that. In this country CITIZENS are STILL considered INNOCENT until PROVEN guilty.

First you are not clear about what you are asking\n\nOften if you are arrested and can not make bail, you will be held till the trial date.  then if the judge finds you guilty, you may be released with time served, and go free.  Or you may be found not guilty and go free.

yes, that is the idea behind the warrant, to arrest the person.

Normally they are arrested and will see a judge, it is called an initial appearance.  The judge advise the defendant (accused person) of the charge.\n\nDepending on prior history, a defendant might be release to return to court later.  If the defendant has a history of not showing up to court (fail to appear), then the judge will likely have a bond amount set.  Your family/friend will have to post the bond for you to leave jail or you stay in jail until the case is completed.\n\nThe next event is the arraignment.  The defendant is required to enter a plea (guilty, not guilty/responsible, no contest).  If you are entering a not guilty plea, then it is set for a pre-trial conference.\n\nDuring the pre-trial conference, the prosecutor will offer a plea deal.  If rejected, then you will be set for trial.\n\nDuring the trial, if you are found guilty, you will get sentence at that time or a later date.

Bail is a right of an person accused of a crime. ( it is not given in all cases but can be)  These rights are given to us by the constitution.\n\nthe US system of justice is basedon innocent until proved guilty by a court of law, with evidence that can be presented in court.\n\nWhat level is the charge, murder, or manslaughter ?\n\nOf course if there is bail set, lets say 400,000, he still wont get out unless his family is rich.

You need to call the jail for that information.  In some cases you have to make an appointment.  Each county or state has different rules.
