Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to Common Questions About Bail Bonds in Wake County
How does the bail bond process work in Wake County?
When someone is arrested in Wake County, they are typically taken to the Wake County Detention Center in Raleigh. After a judge sets bail, you can contact JWright Bail Bonds to post the bond. We charge a percentage of the total bail amount and handle the paperwork and release process so your loved one can return home quickly.
How much does it cost to post bail with JWright Bail Bonds?
In North Carolina, bail bond premiums are regulated by law. Most bonds require a 15% premium, which is non-refundable. For example, a $5,000 bond would typically cost $750. We offer flexible payment options for qualified clients, depending on the case and collateral.
How long does it take to get someone out of jail?
Once we post bail, the release process at the Wake County Detention Center typically takes 1 to 4 hours, depending on how busy the jail is.
Do I need a cosigner or collateral to get a bail bond?
Yes. At JWright Bail Bonds, a qualified cosigner is always required — someone who is employed and willing to take financial responsibility for the bond. In addition to a cosigner, we may also require collateral depending on the risk of the case. We only accept cash or real estate property as collateral. Our team will walk you through the requirements and make the process as smooth as possible.
What happens if the defendant misses a court date?
If the defendant fails to appear in court, the court may issue a warrant and revoke the bond. As the cosigner, you could be financially responsible for the full bail amount. That’s why we keep in touch with both you and the defendant to help avoid missed appearances.
Can I get a bail bond at any time of day?
Yes. JWright Bail Bonds is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Arrests don’t just happen during business hours — and we’re always ready to respond when you need us most.
