Bail vs. Bond
Posted By Graham P. Wiemer on Feb 23, 2010 7:10am PST
Bail is a security such as cash or a bond, especially security required by a court for the release of a prisoner who must appear at a future time.
Relatedly, bond is a written promise to pay money or do some act if certain circumstances occur or a certain time elapses.
In the criminal sense, all bond postings must be made directly with the county jail or Sheriff’s Department in the State of Wisconsin.
