HOW DO BAIL BONDS WORK?

A bail bond is a monetary guarantee to the court that a defendant will appear on time, every time for court while their case is in progress. The Judge in jurisdiction sets the bail according to an agreed schedule. If a defendant fails to show up for trial on the date specified in the bail bond, the courts issue a warrant for the defendant’s arrest for

“jumping bail,” and the amount of the bond will be forfeited to the court. The bail agent is generally authorized by statute to arrest the defendant and bring them back for criminal proceedings.
