What is Bail?
Bail is a surety, normally either cash or bond, given to the court to ensure that the accused person appears before the court for trial and/or sentencing. Once bail is posted (given to the court) by the accused or his
representative, he is released into the custody of the person posting bail. If the accused appears as directed by the court, the bail is returned. If the accused fails to appear, a warrant for his arrest is issued and the
bond may be forfeited to the court.
