Following California law, the premium is 10% of the total bail amount. Big Boy Bail Bonds offers 8% discounted rates for union members, military veterans, and clients who have retained a private defense attorney.

Is there a difference between the Main Jail and Elmwood?

Once the bond is posted, release from the Main Jail usually takes 3 to 7 hours. Processing at Elmwood can sometimes take slightly longer depending on jail staffing and inmate volume.
