Bond Information
A bail bond is a type of surety bond that is used to secure the release of a person from jail while they are awaiting trial. A bail bond is typically issued by a bail bondsman, who is a person or company that is licensed to sell bail bonds.
When a person is arrested, they are taken to jail. At the jail, the person will be arraigned before a judge. The judge will set a bond amount, which is the amount of money that the person must pay in order to be released from jail.
If the person cannot afford to pay the bond amount, they can contact a bail bondsman. The bail bondsman will charge a fee, which is typically a percentage of the bond amount. The bail bondsman will then post the bond with the court, and the person will be released from jail.
