Bail and Bondsman

Bail is the money lodged with the court in exchange for the temporary release of a defendant awaiting trial. The money is used to ensure that the defendant will show up at his trial once it starts. Failure to do so means forfeiting the money.

A bondsman is a person in the business of signing bonds with the court for the temporary release of defendants who cannot afford to post the entire bail amount. He typically charges 10% of the bail amount as his fee. This is non-refundable.
