If you cannot make bail, you will typically remain in jail until your case is resolved. The amount of time you may spend in jail will depend on various factors, including the seriousness of the charges against you, the complexity of your case, and the court’s schedule.

Sometimes, it may take several months or even years for a case to be resolved, particularly if it involves serious charges or complex legal issues. During this time, you will remain in jail unless you are released on your recognizance or the court grants a motion for reduced bail.

Spending time in jail can have serious consequences, including loss of employment, housing, and other privileges. If you cannot make bail, work closely with your attorney to explore all possible legal options for securing your release and resolving your case as quickly and effectively as possible.
