A bail bond is a financial agreement made by a bail bond agency on behalf of a defendant to secure their release from jail. The agency guarantees the defendant’s appearance in court, and in exchange, charges a fee, typically 10-15% of the total bail amount.

The process begins with the defendant’s arrest and booking. A judge sets the bail amount, and if the defendant or their family cannot pay the full amount, they can contact a bail bond service. After signing an agreement and paying the fee, the bail bond agency posts the bail, and the defendant is released from jail.
