How Do I Bail Someone Out?

You have two options when trying to pay someone’s monetary bond.  First you could pay the bond amount in cash at the jail, and when the case is over, it will be returned to you.  Second, you could pay a fee (usually 10% of the total bond) to a bondsman/bond company.  They will pay the other 90% of the bond and once the case is over, the full amount is returned to them.  Your fee for them paying the other 90% is the 10% you paid.
