If it's for traffic violation...more than likely you could have your "Friend" call and find out if it's a forfeitable bail...in other words pay the fine and be done with it....if it's for another crime....the judge most likely will hold them until their court date. Where they most likely will enter a plea and be given a choce of bail,possibly higher, or held. Again it depends on the crime.

If it has come to the point where a judge has to issue a bench warrant, then they really do want that person in jail. Unless this persons lawyer can make some kind of agreement with the prosecuting attorney, chances are they will seek maximum sentence for whatever charge the warrant is for.

Depends on the charge. Generally, you're in jail until you post a bond or appear before a judge. Usually, you must appear in court within 48 hours.

Depends on the offence and severity of bench warrant. I just turned myself in and they gave me my court date.

It all depends on what the warrant is for. Less than a year for a misdemeanor, longer for a felony.

If the judge sets bond, then you'll be in jail until you can post bond. If the judge denies bond, which is likely, then you'll stay in jail until you're either convicted & sentenced, or aquitted. It could be hours (though not likely), it could be overnight, it could be days, weeks, months, and the record (at least in Cook County, IL) is ten years.

It totally depends on the severity of the dastardly deed. It could also be influenced by who he knows, how much money he has, his attorneys clout and the bail bondsman.
