EL MONTE BAIL BONDS FAQs >>
What is a bail bond?
​A bail bond or a surety bond is a contract that is created by a licensed bail bondsman who must be backed up by an insurance company. The purpose of this contract is to guarantee that the bail agent will post the full bail amount and takes full responsibility for that money if the inmate fails to show up to his or her court date.

Once the booking process is complete, the jailer will then clear the inmate for bail, at which point we could post the bail for the defendant and he or she will then be released to your custody.
