Drug Crime and Trafficking Bail Bonds in Connecticut

There is no fixed amount. Bail depends on the drug, the amount, evidence of sale, weapons, location and prior record. Trafficking charges usually carry the highest bail.

The premium follows state-approved rates: up to 10% of the first $5,000 and up to 7% of the amount above that. A $50,000 bond, for example, has a premium of $3,650.
