How to use "Bail bond" in context?

When somebody is arrested and booked into jail, one of the first steps in their case is usually a bail hearing. At this hearing, a judge will decide whether or not the individual should be released pending trial. If the individual is not able to be released on bail, a bail bond company may be able to help cover the cost of their release.

A bail bond is simply a financial agreement between the defendant and the bail bond company. The defendant promises to pay the company back if they are later released from jail without having to post a bail bond. In return, the company agrees to release the defendant from jail until their trial.
