A bail bond is a legal instrument and a type of insurance policy that is used in court cases. When a defendant or accused is granted bail then he or she must come up with the bail money.  Bail is a stem that allows a defendant to retain his or her freedom until the case is finalised.  Bail therefore is a form of security that will hopefully ensure the defendant will be present for the duration of the trial. Bail can be granted in the form of a bail bond.  These types of surety bonds are issued by a bonding agency or bail bondsman. A bail bondsman charges and non-refundable fee for issuing a bail bond and the bond is usually underwritten by an insurance company.

Bail bonds are also an important part of the principle that you are innocent till proven guilty. If bail bonds were not available many innocent people will have to spend time in jail. This would be unfair on that person and result in severe hardship. If you are in jail you cannot work and you cannot spend the time you deserve with your loved ones. A bail bond therefore helps to protect your right to freedom while you plead your case.

Often a relative or loved one will provide some security for a bail bond. If an accused jumps bail the bail bondsmen will be liable for the full amount of the bail. This could then mean that any person who has provided security for the bail bond will likely have that security attached.
