Bail and Bondsman

The money lodged with the court to secure the temporary release of a pretrial inmate is called bail. This is used by the court to ensure the appearance of the defendant at his trial once it begins. If the defendant fails to appear, he forfeits the money.

If a defendant cannot post bail due to financial difficulties, he can still get released from jail with the assistance of a bondsman. A bondsman charges 10% of the bail as his non-refundable fee to act as a surety for the defendant.
