What is bail?
Bail is a set amount of money that acts as insurance between the court and the defendant (the defendant is the person in jail.)
Defendants have the option to pay their bail in cash, but if they don’t have the cash they need to be released they need to get a bail bond.
What is a bail bond?
A bail bond is a type of surety bond that is provided by a surety bond company, either through a bail agent or bail bondsman. This secures the release of the defendant from jail. This acts as promise to the court that the defendant will show up to all of the court dates until the disposition of the case.
