What are Bail Bonds?

Bail bonds are a system of bail used in the United States. Anyone who has been accused of criminal activity and is required to post bail must pay bail money (usually ten percent of the total bail amount) to receive release from jail until their court date.   This bail money is returned to the individual when they attend their trial. If an individual fails to appear in court, the bail agent will be responsible for paying back this bail money (the full amount).

What Are Bail Bond Services?

If you cannot afford bail, then you can use a bail bondsman service that will agree to  bail the individual out for a small fee. The bail bond service will usually charge around ten percent of the bail amount and may ask for collateral in case you fail to return to court.

Bail agents are generally categorized by their level of training and expertise. A bail agent must hold a bail bond license in order to assist with bail transactions, but they can also be classified as either an apprentice or full-fledged bail agent depending on how long the person has been working for this type of business.
