S5:E2 Bail and Arraignment in Criminal Cases

In this episode, Connecticut criminal defense lawyer Jim Ruane talks about the bail and arraignment process in Connecticut.

After a person is arrested in Connecticut, whether this happens in Greenwich or Fairfield or New London, bail will be set for that person's release from jail. The person must pay a fee in order to be released from jail while their case is pending. You can pay a bail fee, also called a bail bond, outright, or you can pay a bail bondsman a smaller fee to cover the bond for you.

It is important to make sure that you attend all of your court dates once you are out on bail. If you do not, you will be charged with "Failure to Appear in Court" and this will only worsen your situation. Learn more about bail, arraignment, and bonds in this episode.
