Failure to Appeal: Bail Jumping is the act of deliberately disregarding a court order to appear before a judge or at a hearing. This is a criminal offense in some jurisdictions, and is punishable by jail time, fines, or both. Bail Jumping can occur when an individual is released on bail, and fails to attend their court hearing or trial. It can also occur when an individual is released on their own recognizance, and fails to comply with the terms of their release. There are two types of Failure to Appeal: Bail Jumping. The first type is when an individual does not attend the court hearing or trial that they were ordered to appear at. The second type is when an individual does not comply with the terms of their release, such as paying fines or appearing for random drug tests. Both types of Failure to Appeal: Bail Jumping are punishable by jail time, fines, or both.
