It is the judge’s responsibility to set bail at the arrestee’s first appearance in court. However, most jails have bail schedules for common crimes. If the bail is paid, the arrestee will be released immediately. If the arrestee cannot afford the amount of bail set by the jail schedule, he/she can ask the judge to lower the bail.
