Is it Possible for a Felon to Bail Someone Else Out of Jail?

Bail bondsmen and bail bond companies are often contacted when a loved one has been arrested. The job of the bail bondsman is to post bail for their incarcerated loved one, in exchange for a fee. It is important that you know who can and cannot bail another person out of jail. For example, can a felon help bail their friend or family member out of jail? Read on to find out. 

Felons cannot typically aid or help anyone that is incarcerated, but the way around this rule would be through an experienced and licensed bail bondsman. A bail bondsman can post the bond for you, but they require collateral in exchange. This means that if the person who has been bailed out goes AWOL or does not come to court when required to do so, then your property will be taken until the full amount of money is paid back. 

However, before a felon cosigns a bond, it is important that they understand the set of requirements they must meet. They must be a current citizen of the state they are posting bail in, and they will likely have to show a valid state driver's license. There are likely several more requirements established by each individual bail bonds company, so the individual will need to take note of those.  

One of the major concerns of a felon bailing someone out of jail is that the felon has their own set of conditions they must adhere to, let alone worrying about someone else’s. This should not be too big of an issue in most cases, but it is important for the felon to make sure their actions in co-signing a bond are in no way violating their own conditions of release.  

The best way to ensure freedom if you have been arrested is to find a bail bondsman and get the process going. The sooner you do this, the better your chances are of being released from jail!
