How Bail Works in North Carolina
1. Bail Is Set
After arrest, a judge or magistrate sets your release conditions — bail amount, restrictions, and your next court date. Some charges get bail immediately at the jail; others require a court appearance. If you do not bond out, you
will remain in jail until trial (weeks, months … even years).
