How Bail Bonds Work in Kern County
Bail allows a defendant to be released from jail while their case proceeds through the court system. In Kern County, bail amounts depend on the charge, the court division, prior criminal history, and whether any holds or warrants exist.
Misdemeanor vs. Felony Bail
