What is a Bail Bond?
When a person is arrested, he or she may have the opportunity to pay bail. This is a payment that the arrested person may be able to make to the court in order to leave jail until trial. The payment is a way that the court can help ensure that the accused will appear at any future court dates. In some cases, the amount of bail may be more than the accused can pay by him or herself. In these cases, bail bonds may be useful since they allow people to pay some percentage of their bail — often 10% — with a bail bonding agency putting up the rest. Courts typically refund the original bail amount if the accused shows up for all of his or her court dates. Since that amount goes to the agency that posted bail for the accused, in cases that go well, the agency gets its money back and keeps the percentage put up by the accused as its profit.

Bail Process
A bail bondsman provides a bond that's essentially a promise that the court will receive the full bail amount. You can "make bail" by purchasing a premium, typically equivalent to 10 percent of the total bail, with a guarantee that you'll appear in court or the bail bondsman will pay the entire amount.

If You Skip Bail
If you fail to appear this is also known as "Skipping Bail." The bail bondsman has the right to enlist a bounty hunter or bond enforcement agent to find you, arrest you and take you back to jail.
