If you bail a person out of jail and they are innocent do you get your mony back?
No, BAIL money is not returned, if you use a BAIL BONDSMAN,

If you post the FULL BAIL AMOUNT with the clerk of the jail or court they will refund

your money and proceedings are over and the defendant is finally sentenced.

Paying a bondsman is usually ten percent of the bail money that the court sets.

This is their fee that they charge in the event that you do not have the full amount

of bail that the court sets.

Bail is used to insure that someone will show up to their court hearing. If they show up and are there throughout the trial, at the end, whether they are guilty or innocent, the bail money is returned.
