If an inmate anywhere can make the bail that posted, they will get released with stipulations. The bail bond company is reassuring the Court that the offender will appear for all the court appearances. The bail bond company might take into consideration the offender is from a different county and could add more cost to the bond. It's all done on a case-by-case basis determining the risk to the bond company and deciding on how much money will assure compliance. Of course, if the amount of bail is unafforable, then the inmate will sit in jail until the Court issues a release.
