When can a inmate ask for a bond reduction?

An inmate can typically request a bond reduction at any time while their case is pending, particularly after arraignment or during pre-trial hearings. They may file a motion for bond reduction based on changes in circumstances, such as new evidence, lack of flight risk, or improved personal circumstances. Additionally, bond reduction requests can often be made during a bail hearing or review, where the court assesses the appropriateness of the current bail amount. It's important for the inmate to work with their attorney to present a strong case for the reduction.
