Bails is money or frequently, a bail bond that is put up for the suspect to allow him or her to remain free until the completion of the case. Bail basically creates a financial incentive for a suspect to appear in court — failure to do so results in the loss of your bails money you’ll also get a warrant for your arrest, and you can add bail jumping to your criminal charges, to boot.
How is bail paid and what is a bail bondsman ?
Bail can be paid, primarily, in three ways: Pony up the full amount in cash (checks and VISA may also be accepted). Conversely, you can enroll the services of a bail bondsman. A bail bondsman will pay your entire bail, but you’ll give up a premium – usually around 10 percent, which isn’t refundable. And if the suspect fails to appear in court, that poor bail bondsman is going to lose the entire bail payment, which is why a bond seller will ask that you put down collateral, such as your house or car, to cover the bond seller’s loss in the even that you skip out. And if you are a high-risk, and you don’t have collateral, you can bet that you’ll have a difficult time obtaining the services of a bail bondsman. I’d advise, however, that if you can afford it – paying bail outright is a better option than using a bail bond seller — if you make all your court appearances, you’ll get your cash back whether you’re found guilty or not; with a bond seller, no matter the outcome of the case, you’ll lose the 10 percent premium.
In some instances, the court may help you out by offering its own version of bond-selling services, allowing you to put down 10 percent and collateral, but in this case, you get the 10 percent refunded if you make all your court appearances.
Finally, in some other instances, you can simply deposit with the court personal property worth the amount of bail.
Traditionally, bail is some form of property deposited or pledged to a court to persuade it to release a suspect from jail, on the understanding that the suspect will return for trial or forfeit the bail (and possibly be brought up on charges of the crime of failure to appear). In some cases bail money may be returned at the end of the trial, if all court appearances are made, regardless of whether the person is found guilty or not guilty of the crime accused. If a bondsman is used and a surety bond has been obtained, the fee for that bond is the fee for the insurance policy purchased and is not refundable. In some countries granting bail is common. Even in such countries, however, bail may not be offered by some courts under some circumstances for instance, if the accused is considered likely not to appear for trial regardless of bail. Legislatures may also set out certain crimes to be not bail able, such as capital crimes.
