A bail schedule is a list of criminal offenses and their corresponding bail amounts, established by the Superior Court of each county.
Bail schedules allow for immediate bail posting after arrest for most charges, without waiting for a judge to set bail.
Bail amounts vary by county. The same charge may have different bail amounts in San Diego versus Los Angeles County.
Factors like gang involvement, use of weapons, or causing injury can increase bail amounts above the schedule.
Judges can deviate from the bail schedule at a bail hearing based on individual circumstances.
