    Juvenile Bail Bond Services in New Haven County

    Is your loved one a minor who has been accused of a crime? According to the U.S. Department of Justice, larceny, vandalism, and assault are the most common types of juvenile crimes committed. At Griffith Bailbonds, we provide comprehensive juvenile bail bond services to minors in the Connecticut area, regardless of the crime that they have been accused of. 

    Quick Facts About Juvenile Crimes

    Every year, approximately 2.1 million individuals under the age of 18 years old are accused of committing a crime. While this number is starting to decline, juvenile crime still remains a serious issue in the United States today. If your loved one has been accused of committing a juvenile crime, it may be helpful to understand the following: 

    A juvenile may be tried as an adult in very extreme cases, which would make the bail bond amount higher. 

    Juvenile bail bonds tend to be lower compared to if an individual over the age of 18 committed a crime. 

    Juvenile cases are tried in a juvenile court, whereas cases involving suspects over the age of 18 are tried in a different court. 

    How a Judge Determines the Bail Amount

    Similar to adult cases, a juvenile can be granted bail in less serious cases. This bail amount is determined based on a number of factors, including: 

    The juvenile's past record

    Whether or not the suspect has been charged with a failure to appear charge in the past

    Whether or not violence was involved

    Whether or not weapons were involved

    What Can You Do?

    It can be scary to have your loved one accused of a crime, no matter what age they are. However, when a minor is accused of a crime, it can be even more stressful. At Griffith Bailbonds, we are here to help you navigate the bail bonds process with ease so that you can have your loved one back home quickly. That is why we work effectively to debrief you about the process, collect basic information from you about the suspect, and walk you through any significant paperwork. Once all the appropriate documents are submitted to the juvenile court and accepted, your loved one will be released pending their trial date. 

    How Much is Bail For Juveniles in CT?

    In Connecticut, the bail amount for juveniles, if imposed, is typically lower than for adults, reflecting the juvenile justice system's focus on rehabilitation over punishment. Juveniles are often released into the custody of their parents or guardians, with bail being less common and set mainly to ensure court appearance. When bail is necessary, the process involves a bail bond company, similar to adult cases, but the fees and bail amounts are generally lower. The Connecticut juvenile justice system prioritizes the minor's rehabilitation, influencing the approach to bail and detention decisions.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    • Can juveniles be granted bail in Connecticut?

      Yes, juveniles can be granted bail in Connecticut, but the process differs from that of adults. The primary concern is the best interest of the child, focusing on rehabilitation rather than punishment.

    • What's the difference between juvenile bail bonds and adult bail bonds?

      While both serve as guarantees for court appearances, the juvenile justice system prioritizes rehabilitation. As such, rather than setting a traditional bail amount, courts may determine conditions for release, mandatory programs, or services for the juvenile.

    • Can parents or guardians be co-signers for juvenile bail bonds?

      Yes, typically, parents or legal guardians are the ones who act as co-signers for a juvenile's bail bond, taking responsibility for ensuring the juvenile meets all court-imposed conditions.

    • What happens if the juvenile fails to meet court obligations?

      If the juvenile fails to adhere to court conditions, any bail bond posted may be forfeited. The co-signer becomes responsible for the bail amount, and any collateral provided may be at risk.
