Human Trafficking Bail Bonds

What Is PC 236.1 — Human Trafficking?
PC 236.1 is California's human trafficking statute. It covers depriving a person of liberty for purposes of forced labor, sexual exploitation, or extortion. Charges involving minors carry even higher bail and mandatory minimum sentences. Human trafficking is a serious felony that can result in decades in state prison. Bail is typically set at $500,000 at booking, and judges rarely reduce it at arraignment given the severity of the charge.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can bail be denied for human trafficking?
Yes. Judges can deny bail if they find the defendant poses a danger to the community or is a serious flight risk. This is more common when the alleged victims are minors or when there is evidence of an organized operation.
What if there are multiple charges?
Human trafficking cases often come with additional charges — kidnapping, rape, extortion, or conspiracy. Each charge adds to the total bail amount. Chad can help you understand the full picture.
How quickly can someone be released on a $500,000 bond?
Once the bond is signed and posted, release typically takes 4 to 8 hours depending on the facility. Chad posts the bond as fast as the jail processes it.
