Bail is the amount of money that you have to pay to the court system to be released from jail until your court date. The amount you will have to pay is determined by the crime you’ve been charged with. You will have to pay ten percent of the total that was set before you can get discharged from jail.

How To Bail Someone Out of Jail
Having to bail someone out of jail is never fun, but in some cases, it is easy. First of all, you need to know if they have a “Cash Bond Only” situation. If it is, you can’t use a bail bondsman. Cash only – they won’t take checks. Once the cash bond has been paid, the prisoner will get released. If the conditions of bail are not violated, the bail money you posted will be returned to you.
Bail Bondsman
If their bail has been set too high, or you can’t afford it, you should use a bail bondsman. They will usually charge a fee of 10-15% of the total bail amount, and in most cases with a minimum fee of $100. The amount you pay to the bondsman is non-refundable and bondsmen usually only accept cash. If the bail is exceptionally high, the bondsman might use assets as collateral for the bond.
