Why Getting Bail at Santa Cruz County Jail Matters
When someone is arrested and booked at Santa Cruz County Jail, the first 12 to 24 hours are the most critical. Bail can be posted as soon as the booking is complete and a bail amount is set, which for most misdemeanors happens automatically based on the county bail schedule. For felonies, bail is typically set at arraignment.
A bail bond from CityWide gets the defendant home faster and in a better position to prepare a defense. Defendants released on bail can work with their attorney, maintain employment, and handle family obligations while their case proceeds through the court system. Cases that start with the defendant out of custody consistently result in better legal outcomes.
CityWide has posted bail at Santa Cruz County Jail and throughout Santa Cruz County for over 20 years. Call 1-833-385-5245 any time.
