If you or a loved one is ever accused of a crime, the bail bond system can help protect your rights. Bail is an integral component in the justice system of the United States. The bail bond serves as a protection for a personâs rights. It also helps reduce overcrowding in detention centers and cost of inmate housing. These people, who have not yet been proven guilty, can remain free until a verdict is reached by the jury and the court comes up with a sentence.
What is bail? Bail or bond (in this case, bail and bond mean the same thing) is an amount of money in cash, property, or surety bond for the purpose of making sure that a person attends all required court appearances. Bond allows an arrested person (defendant) to be released from jail until his or her case is completed.
