Bondsmen will usually charge a fee of 10 to 15 percent of the total bail amount, and in most cases have a minimum fee of $100. This will not be returned to you and the bondsman only accepts cash. If the bail has been set really high, the bondsman will ask to use your assets, such as home, property or cars, as collateral.
  The first thing you will have to is you will answer a number of questions, such as what is your full name, address, birthdate and an emergency contact.

  A Magistrate is the type of judge that presides over your case in court. Magistrates are judges that do a number of things, such as determining how much your bail will be, writing arrest warrants, and acting as the presiding judge over preliminary and procedural court proceedings and detention proceedings.

  For Federal crimes, the FBI keeps a list of the Top Ten Most Wanted Criminals. In Maricopa County, the Maricopa County Sheriff has their own list of the most wanted criminals, that you can access online.
  The Deputy Sheriff is the second in command at the Maricopa County Jail, overseeing the day to day operations and administration of the jail. An inmate is unlikely to have much interaction with the Deputy Sheriff, unless they have committed an infraction. Detention Officers are responsible for the custody and care of the inmates. They maintain order in the jail, and handle security. A Detention Officer is assigned to a certain pod, and therefore is responsible for the same inmates each day. They get to know the inmates on a certain level and are well equipped to handle any problems that may occur.
