- Definition
- A Bail Payment is the financial transaction made to secure the temporary release of an accused individual from custody, usually in the form of cash, bond, or property, which is pledged to guarantee their appearance at future court dates. This payment acts as a surety that the defendant will return for trial and may be forfeited if the individual fails to appear in court.
