How Do Bail Bonds Work?
Bail and bail bonds are two subjects that people may have heard of, but likely have very little understanding of since no one ever really expects to need bail. For instance, most people don’t know that bail and bail bonds are not the same things. They are two different, but related, ways to get someone out of jail.
Bail is what people are most familiar with. It is a set amount of money that someone needs to pay for a person to be released from jail. The exact amount of money varies from case to case. Meanwhile, a bail bond is what a person gets when they hire a bail agent to help them rescue a loved one from jail.
With a bail bond, a person signs a contract with their bail agent. By signing, they are agreeing to pay a percentage of the full bail amount to the agent in return for the bail agent posting their loved one’s bail. In this instance, instead of paying for the bail, you are paying for the bail agent’s services.

Bail bonds work because the bail agent can pay the full amount of the bail to the jail right away. Also, they only cost a person a fraction of the cost of paying for the whole bail themselves.
