CASH Bond
To be released on cash bail, an individual must post with the court the total amount of the bail, in cash, to secure his or her return to court on an appointed date, and thereafter until the case is concluded. Full cash bonds provide a powerful incentive for defendants to appear at trial. If the defendant shows up for their scheduled court appearances, the cash is returned at the court's convenience. The drawbacks to cash bail, are that you must have the available cash to be deposited with the court, in some cases for months or years. Also, if the judge assesses a fine as part of his judgment, and the judge is aware that cash already has been deposited, it is an incentive for the judge to make the fine equal to the cash deposit. Last, if the defendant fails to appear, the cash bond may be forfeited to the court.
