What is a no-bond hold?
"No bond" on a jail roster means there's no amount that will secure release at that moment. Why depends on the reason behind it, and the reasons have different paths forward.
Pending first appearance. For some offenses, no bond is available until a judge reviews the case. This resolves at the hearing.
Statutory restriction. Certain charges — including capital and life felonies where the proof is evident, and certain designations — carry restrictions on release that require specific procedures.
Violation of probation. Frequently held without bond, and this is one of the more common versions families encounter.
A hold from another agency. A warrant in another county, another state, or a federal or immigration detainer. Posting the local bond won't produce release while the hold stands.
The distinction matters because some of these resolve within a day and others require a motion, a hearing, or resolution of an entirely separate case.
