A pretrial inmate is allowed to remain out of jail as long as his or her bail has been posted. This is the process of pledging money to the court (wherein the amount is set by the court) that will be used to guarantee the defendant’s appearance at his trial once it starts. A missed court date will result in the forfeiture of the money.
A bondsman can be hired if a defendant is unable to post bail on his own. The fee is usually set at 10% of the bail amount. Acting as a surety, the bondsman will sign a bond with the court which he/she will need to pay in full if the defendant misses a court appearance. The bondsman’s fee is non-refundable.
