What is the difference between 30-day bail and 37-day bail?

The 37-day golden period of bail pending trial means that public security organs are most likely to get bail pending trial in the criminal detention stage. The period of public security criminal detention before arrest is 3 days, which can be extended to 1-4 days under special circumstances, and it can be extended to 30 days for major suspects who commit crimes on the run, repeatedly commit crimes and commit crimes by gangs; The procuratorate examines the arrest case and makes a decision on whether to approve or disapprove the arrest within 7 days. In this way, the longest period of public security criminal detention can reach 37 days, and lawyers' applications for bail pending trial are mainly concentrated in 37 days, so these 37 days are also called "golden 37 days".

Of course, in the arrest stage after public security criminal detention, there is also the possibility of bail pending trial in the subsequent procuratorate and court stages, but the proportion is very small.

Article 34 A criminal suspect has the right to entrust a defender from the day when he is interrogated for the first time by the investigation organ or compulsory measures are taken. During the investigation, only lawyers can be entrusted as defenders. The defendant has the right to entrust a defender at any time.

Article 91 The longest criminal detention in the investigation stage is 37 days. If the public security organ deems it necessary to arrest the detained person, it shall submit it to the people's procuratorate for examination and approval within three days after detention. Under special circumstances, the approval time can be extended by one to four days.

For major suspects who commit crimes on the run, commit crimes many times or commit crimes in collusion, the time for submitting for examination and approval may be extended to 30 days.

The people's procuratorate shall, within seven days after receiving the approval letter from the public security organ, make a decision on whether to approve or disapprove the arrest. If the people's procuratorate does not approve the arrest, the public security organ shall immediately release it after receiving the notice and promptly notify the people's procuratorate to execute it. Those who need to continue the investigation and meet the conditions of obtaining a guarantor pending trial or residential surveillance shall be granted a guarantor pending trial or residential surveillance according to law.
