Having a friend or family member arrested for a crime is an overwhelming experience, especially if you don’t have much experience with the legal system. You may be unsure of what to do next or whether it's best to secure a bail bond as soon as possible. Here's a closer look at how you'll benefit them by acting fast.

Why You Should Get a Loved One Out of Jail Quickly

1. They Can Keep Working

A criminal trial can take weeks or even months, so the defendant may lose their job even if they’re eventually acquitted. Losing a job because they were incarcerated can make it difficult to find employment later and can put financial strain on their family.

A bail bond agent can usually secure a defendant’s release in a matter of hours, so they may not miss any work at all. This allows them to keep supporting themselves and those who depend on them throughout the trial.

2. They Can Work on Their Legal Defense

The outcome of their case will likely depend on the skill and experience of their attorney. Unfortunately, finding a high-quality lawyer and crafting an effective defense is more difficult when the defendant is incarcerated.

Being released from jail allows your loved one to hire the best attorney available and start coordinating a legal defense right away. In the end, this may be the difference between a conviction and an acquittal.

3. You Can Protect Their Mental Health

Jail isn’t always a physically safe place to be, but it can also take a toll on a defendant’s mental health. Even short periods of incarceration can cause anxiety, depression, and a wide range of other issues. Getting your friend or family member out of custody quickly minimizes the long-term impact on their emotional and mental well-being.
