How Long Does It Take To Get Out Of Jail After Posting Bail?

Once a bail bond is posted, it can take anywhere from 4-6 hours to get released depending on whether or not the jail is busy. The only way to speed up your release is by hiring an attorney to help you get a personal bond and waive magistration. Magistration is when a judge arraigns you at the jail, gives you your rights and informs you of your charge and bail bond amount. An attorney can waive this hearing and give you the information without seeing the judge.
