Q: My best friend is about to have a baby and the babies father got arrested last night. Is there any way he can be release
For the birth of his child
A:
This is a difficult question to answer without further information. Without any details, I would assume that the father would have the opportunity to post bail to get out of jail.
I would recommend consulting with an attorney to address the situation further.

A: I would go one step farther than Mr. Wood: this question is IMPOSSIBLE to answer without further information. (I also would not refer to someone who has, to date, merely impregnated someone as a "father." You have to earn that title.) Misdemeanor? Felony? Ties to the community? Criminal history? Violent offense? Other reasons the subject might or might not be a flight risk or danger to the community? Many offenders are eligible for pre-trial release, but there are a LOT of factors that affect the Court's decision regarding setting of bail (and then you have to address the subject's ability to MAKE bail once it has been set).
