A Bail Bond Can Be Revoked If you or a loved one has been arrested and are in jail, it is often a very frightening experience. Many people in prison seek the services of a bail bondsman to get their freedom back as soon as possible. The amount they pay the bondsman is typically 10% of the bail amount, which they consider a small fee to get on with their life. Once they pay and leave jail, they are free once again to go anywhere they'd like when they'd like and do what they want to do." But hold on a minute. Bail is the key to your freedom. The judge sets bail at a set amount of money, but the court can change it at any time if circumstances change during your case. You must understand that there are "terms of release" set by the court and additional requirements set by the bail agent. If the defendant fails to adhere to these terms, their bail can be revoked, and they can return to jail.
