bail bonds
Freedom deposit papers
A bail bond is a financial guarantee securing a defendant's release from jail before trial.
When bail is set higher than someone can pay, a bail bondsman posts the full amount for a fee—typically 10-15%—which the defendant forfeits.
If the defendant fails to appear in court, the bondsman may hire bounty hunters to find them.
