Bail and Bondsman

Bail is the money that is given to the court in exchange for releasing a pretrial inmate while the trial is still pending. The money is used to guarantee that the defendant will return for all his scheduled court appearances. If he fails to meet all his court obligations, he loses the money.

A bondsman can be hired if the defendant (or his family) is unable to get the bond money on their own. The bondsman typically charges 12% of the bail amount as his non-refundable fee. Once hired, he signs a bond to secure the release of the defendant. The bond needs to be paid by the bondsman in full if the defendant fails to appear before the court as promised.
