Your loved one is in custody: What to do and how to react quickly

The arrest of a loved one is a distressing and stressful situation. When this happens, time is a critical factor. If a family member or close friend has been arrested and is now in custody, it is crucial to act quickly to maximize their chances of release. Here’s what you need to know — and how we can help.

Understanding the bail process

As soon as the prosecutor objects to release, a bail hearing is triggered. This process allows the judge to assess whether it is safe and justified to release the accused while legal proceedings are ongoing. The court considers several factors:

The risk of failing to appear at trial
The danger to society
Public confidence in the justice system

A lawyer can propose concrete guarantees to reassure the judge: strict conditions, supervision, financial bail — everything that can help support a release.

Your role: essential to support their case

As a close supporter, you are often the key to convincing the court. Here’s how you can help:

Offer a stable residence address for the accused
Provide financial bail, if necessary
Testify or offer moral support, demonstrating that the accused has strong backing
Actively seek a therapy center or support program, where applicable

These elements can make the difference between detention and freedom.
