Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Bail is a sum of money that a charged individual or their family or friends pay to the court as a guarantee that they will return for trial. If the individual fails to appear in court, the bail will be forfeited. Bail allows the individual to be temporarily released from custody until their trial date. It is not the same as security, surety, or insurance.
