Sometimes a bail bond is not affordable, a personal recognizance bond is not available, or bond cannot be set. Sometimes, bail requires GPS, ignition interlock devices, weekly drugs tests, etc that are just not affordable for everyone.
Under those circumstances the person will not be released until the case is disposed of in one manner or another. This might involve a plea bargain, final trial, or a dismissal. Some people remain in jail under those circumstances.
An experienced attorney can still assist to speed up the process and help get a final disposition of the case as fast as possible to minimize the amount of time the person sits in jail.
If the problem is the bond amount or its conditions, a criminal defense attorney can also ask the court to lower the bond or change the conditions.
