My friend is in jail right now on charges of attempted burglary. He's been there for about 1 month. His first court date is tomorrow. Are they going to release him tomorrow, or will he have to stay in jail until the entire case is closed?

Depending on where you live, and how full the jail's are, and how lenient the judge is will determine if he will be released on his own recognize.
You can get bail bond for him if you wish, you will have to pay the bail though, if you sign for it. You can make installment agreements, you just have to call around and see who will be more reasonable with you.
It's usually cheaper before the next court apperance, because from what I have seen the judges usually find more to add to their cases, and then increase the amount of bail needed to get bailed out.

Based upon what information you provide, it appears your friend will be going before the court to what is known as an "Arraignment Hearing" which is where the court formally advises the defendant of the charges against him.
Bond, or appearance bond, is essentially a monetary amount provided by the accused to insure they appear in court or forfeit the bond amount. A bond is not released until ordered by the court, normally at the conclusion of the case before the court.
They MIGHT release him to his own "recognizance" but I doubt that will happen. More likely the judge could order a "bond reduction" to an amount he can pay if the current bond is set too high!
If your friend is unable to provide sufficient bond, the court will order him back to jail pending a release on bond or until his case is adjudicated.
Hope this helps...best wishes.

that really depends. i just studied the bail enforcement junk. he may stay for a while if he didi something really bad. but if they think he can really be better he may just get out early.
