Yes. Depending on the seriousness of the charge and your background, you could go to jail at the arraignment.

In most cases, a bond is set and if you are able to post bond you can avoid going to jail. The amount of bond varies, based on the nature of the charged offense and the background of the defendant.

The best way to avoid going to jail at an arraignment is to turn yourself in and appear in court with your attorney. This shows that you are willing to appear to face the charges against you and that you are not a “flight risk.”
