Bail bonds for crimes in U.S. District courts are considered federal bonds. These bonds serve the same purpose as other types of bail bonds. They release you from jail on the guarantee you'll appear at all court proceedings.
Federal offenses include any interstate crime. There is no schedule of bail amounts for individual offenses.
The judge, during an arraignment hearing, determines the bail bonds amount. It's not uncommon to have the bail amounts in federal cases set at high levels, making obtaining release more difficult. A bail agent is able to write federal bonds for a charge.
Federal bail bonds are subject to forfeiture, should you miss your court appearances. The date of forfeiture is determined by the court judge. Forfeited bonds are paid to the U.S. government. A bail agent experienced in bail bonds can provide additional information.
