What is a bail bond?

​

A bail bond is a contract between an indemnitor and a bail bondsman. Whenever someone need to bail someone out of a jail, they will have to go to a licensed bail bondsman because a bail bondsman is one of the only people that could turn in a bail bond to the court. A bail bond promises that the defendant will show up to his or her assigned court date.
