Question

What is bail and how does it work? (4-5 sentences)

Answer 1

I'm not in law school, but...

Step-by-step explanation:

Bail is basically when court says than give me some deposit so I know you ain't running away. In essence it's a guarantee by someone that during the time they bail you, you won't escape.

Answer 2

Bail is cash, a bond, or property that an arrested person gives to a court to ensure that he or she will appear in court when ordered to do so. If the defendant doesn't show up, the court may keep the bail and issue a warrant for the defendant's arrest. Credit to user above
