Bail and Bondsman

A pretrial inmate is allowed to stay out of jail as long as bail has been posted. Bail is the money lodged with the court to guarantee the inmate’s return to court once the trial starts. If he fails to appear as promised, the money is forfeited.

A pretrial inmate who cannot afford to post bail can still get released from jail with the help of a bondsman. The bondsman can sign a bond with the court guaranteeing the defendant’s fulfillment of all of his court obligations. If he doesn’t, it will be the bondsman’s responsibility to pay the entire bond amount. To hire a bondsman, you will need to pay him 10% of the bail amount. This cannot be refunded.
