Bail In Criminal Appeal In Georgia

Q: Do you need a job to bail someone out of jail?

No - if you signed the bond it doesn&#039;t matter whether you have a job or not - or whether the bondsman asked you if you did. You are liable as surety on the bond - having a job or not has nothing to do with your liability. Sorry.
