According to the Prison Policy Initiative<\/a>, over 60% of Indiana defendants stay in prison before being convicted or put on trial. It could be due to their lack of knowledge of bail policies or state laws but licensed bail bond agencies like DeLaughter Bail Bonds are here to change that for the people of Indiana.<\/p>\n

When people are arrested for committing a crime, they can either choose to stay in jail until the court hearings begin or post bail before the case starts.<\/p>\n

Some people might consider the former option, thinking they\u2019ll be wasting money on bail or that they\u2019ll get convicted for sure. Whatever the case may be, staying in jail and giving up on bail bonds while you await your hearing is never a good idea.<\/p>\n

In this blog, we\u2019ll discuss reasons why staying in jail before your hearing may do more harm than good.<\/p>\n

It impacts your job and livelihood<\/h2>\n

When you get arrested and await your hearing, you\u2019re going to need money to put towards your case, legal proceedings, and lawyers. Staying in jail and not showing up to work will definitely put a dent in your plans, and you might even end up losing your job.<\/p>\n

Whether guilty or not, some employers might fire you if they find out about your arrest, fearing the impact it may have on their business. It\u2019s best to keep the news of your arrest to yourself and not let your employer know what you\u2019re going through.<\/p>\n

On the other hand, some understanding employers might let you stick around if you show up to work and aren\u2019t stuck in jail for weeks or months. However, if you don\u2019t opt for bail bonds, they\u2019ll have no choice but to find a replacement. Losing your job while you\u2019re awaiting trial not only reflects poorly on your case it also impacts your financial and mental wellbeing.<\/p>\n

Your health might deteriorate<\/h2>\n

Most jails and prisons<\/a> are breeding grounds for bacteria, germs, and viruses. You have people from many backgrounds and areas all shoved into one tiny building, spreading their germs and diseases to everyone they come in contact with.<\/p>\n

While some illnesses like the common cold may not be harmful, serious viruses like COVID-19 might be something you need to consider. The longer you stay behind bars, the more you\u2019ll be exposed to severe viruses and diseases.<\/p>\n

Additionally, staying in jail can also impact your mental wellbeing, and you\u2019ll often find yourself suffering from depression, stress, and anxiety.<\/p>\n

Your defense suffers<\/h2>\n

To save yourself from a long sentence, you\u2019ll need to work with your attorney, collect alibies, evidence and create a good defense. It requires extensive research and communication on your part, which you will lack if you decide to stay in jail.<\/p>\n
