Statewide guidelines govern the administration of bail and bail bonds.
If someone has been arrested in Idaho, there are several steps to get out of jail. Here’s a general guide on the process:
The court may establish conditions which are required to secure pre-trial release. Such conditions may include a waiver of extradition, drug and alcohol testing, no contact orders or electronic monitoring.
Cash Bail
If the bail amount is affordable, it can be paid in cash directly to the jail or court clerk. The amount will be refunded after the case is resolved, minus any court fees, fines or restitution.
Licensed bail bonding agents can post bail on your behalf to secure release from jail. Bondsmen charge a fee (usually 10-15% of the total bail) for their services. Bail Bondsmen may require collateral and/or a co-signer.
In some cases, property can be used as collateral for bail. This typically involves the court placing a lien on property located in the State of Idaho.

In certain cases, a judge may allow a person to be released without having to pay bail, based on their promise to return for future court appearances. And abide by certain terms and conditions. This is often considered for individuals with strong local ties, no criminal history or minor charges.
