Bail and Bondsman

The money lodged with the court by a defendant to secure his temporary release from jail is called bail. The court keeps the money until the end of the trial. The defendant gets the money back (minus court fees) if he shows up at all of his court dates. If he misses one, he forfeits the money.

A defendant who cannot come up with the money for posting bail can still get released from jail while awaiting trial with the help of a bondsman. A bondsman can sign a bond with the court to secure his release for a fee. The fee is set at 12% of the bail amount and it cannot be refunded.
