Unconditional Bonds After Release
After the police book a suspect into custody, the judge holds a bail hearing. The court may decide to release the defendant on the person’s own recognizance or set a bail amount. Often, defendants choose a conditional bond because it is cheaper than an unconditional bond.
Unfortunately, they frequently discover that meeting the court's conditions for release is too challenging. Without a way to remove those conditions, many defendants end up back in jail to await their court dates.
What Is an Unconditional Bail Bond After Release?
An unconditional bail bond after release provides defendants a way to remove those conditions. If the judge offers both conditional and unconditional bail, and you decide on the conditional option, you can change to an unconditional bond at any time, even after release. The unconditional bond means that you obtain a surety bond to pay for your unconditional bail.
What Are the Benefits of an Unconditional Bail Bond After Release?
Many defendants don’t realize they have the option to convert their conditional bail into an unconditional bail. If your current life circumstances make it impossible to comply with the judge’s requirements and conditions, you can get an unconditional bail bond after release. The benefits of this type of bond include:
No more random drug tests
No more alcohol tests for those charged with a DWI
No ankle monitors
No weekly check-ins with the probation officer
You can get rid of all conditional bail bond requirements (except for the agreement to show up to your next court date and obey the law) with an unconditional bond.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can a judge release you on bail when you haven’t been charged?
Yes. The judge may hold a bail hearing shortly after the accused is arrested. In this case, the next court date is the arraignment hearing, when judges inform defendants of the charges against them. Often, however, the arraignment and bail hearings happen at the same time.
What is an unconditional bail bond?
An unconditional bail bond is a pre-trial release agreement between the judge and the defendant. The defendant pays the court a sum of money to secure the release and agrees to show up for the next court date. These bonds are offered when the defendant is not a flight risk, as there are no restrictions in place for the defendant.
What is the difference between unconditional and conditional bail bonds?
With a conditional bail bond, the judge establishes requirements or restrictions the defendant must comply with as a condition of release. Unconditional bail bonds only require the defendant to show up for the next trial date and obey the law. A conditional bail bond is cheaper than an unconditional bail bond.
