Types of Bonds

Here are some of the most common types of bonds that a judge can set:

Surety Bond – In a surety bond, a bail agent guarantees the court that they will pay if an accused does not show up in court. A surety company is used as a guarantee.

Release on Personal Recognizance – In this situation, the accused is released without any financial motive to secure their return. This sort of bail usually is through county or law enforcement administered pre-trial release programs.
