     Instead of paying the full bail upfront, you can secure a bail bond by paying a bonding company a premium. The premium is set at 10% of the bail amount.

  3. Release from Jail
     If a bond is processed, the bondsman expedites the process to secure release of the inmate quickly.

     By posting bail, the defendant agrees to appear at all scheduled court dates to avoid bond forfeiture (bond forfeiture results in a warrant for arrest).
