Bail refers to the amount of money set by the court that must be paid to secure the release of a detained individual awaiting trial. A bond, on the other hand, is an alternative to paying the full bail amount. A bondsman or bail bond agency can post a bond on behalf of the defendant. The person seeking the bond usually pays a percentage of the bail amount (typically around 10%) to the bail bond agency, which then guarantees the full bail amount to the court.

If a defendant fails to appear in court as required after being released on a bail bond, the court will typically issue a bench warrant for their arrest. Additionally, the bail bond may be forfeited, meaning the full bail amount becomes due to the court. As the co-signer or indemnitor on the bond, you may be held financially responsible for the full amount. Free At Last may also employ a fugitive recovery agent (bounty hunter) to locate and return the defendant to custody. It is critically important that all court dates are honored after a loved one is released on bond.
