Not only is getting arrested embarrassing, but it’s also stressful. There’s little that will make you worry about your immediate future more than being locked up. Not only are you worried about the possible sentence connected to the charges and how you’re loved ones will respond to the arrest, but you also have to wonder how you’ll keep your job and if you’ll be able to pay your bills if your employer uses the arrest as an excuse to fire you.
Getting out of jail as quickly as possible is the best way to alleviate most of these stressful thoughts. Once you’re released you can do things that include:
- Showing up for work on time
- Directly explaining the situation to your loved ones
- Meeting with your lawyer to discuss the charges and the best way to handle them
- Pay bills
- Sleep in your own bed

The good news is that even if you need to cool your heels a little while before bail is set, there are some things you can do in advance to get the ball rolling so that you’re free immediately after bail is set.
