    Bail Enhancement Factors in California

    What makes a judge set bail higher than the schedule.

    Judges have discretion to set bail higher than the bail schedule. Several factors push bail up.

    Prior failures to appear

    Past FTAs are the single biggest enhancement factor. Each prior FTA can add thousands or more.

    Prior convictions

    Especially violent felonies and strikes under California's three-strikes law.

    On-bail or on-probation status

    Being out on bail or on probation when re-arrested usually doubles the bail.

    Severity of the new charge

    Strike priors, weapons enhancements, and victim injuries all push bail higher.
