Probation is when a suspect either has gone to prison and has exhibited good behavior, or an individual is put on probation as their main punishment. In Connecticut, a probation can last anywhere from 1 to 3 years long. Since probation means that a suspect must follow certain rules, many individuals have trouble following the terms. Unfortunately, this can result in probation violations, which can get a suspect brought back/put into jail.
The amount for any type of bail bond is determined by factors like the suspect’s age, involvement in society, employment, past criminal history, etc. However, when it comes to a probation violation, there are a few more factors that can account for that final bail bond amount. This includes: 
The type of probation the accused is on. Anyone on regular probation will not usually be granted bail, unless the judge wants to allow bail. Anyone on deferred adjudication probation will be granted a bail.
The violation. Probation can be different for each and every case. However, how probation was broken and violated can cause the bail amount to increase or decrease. Was the individual on parole traveling out of state without permission? Or did he/she miss a meeting with their probation officer?
If an individual is on probation, they have already been out of jail/prison and have been operating in society. They have certain rules they must follow, but they are not incarcerated. Therefore, when an individual is accused of a probation violation, a bail bondsman can be helpful to continue to keep that individual out of jail until trial. Below outlines the paperwork that must be completed before bail can be granted:
The defendant authorization form
The payment agreement contract
The credit card payment contract
The cosigner contract (this is only for certain bonds)
