Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A surety bond involves a third party paying the bail amount, cash/property collateral requires the defendant to pay money or assets to the court, and release on recognizance allows the defendant to be released without having to pay or provide collateral. Unsecured bond is the only option where the defendant does not have to pay money to the court but is still liable for the full bail amount if they fail to appear.
