- psd1 3y ago"Woodruff sas renewed on a $100,000 personal bond" - does this mean that she was able to front that money? I understand this as: if she were poor, she'd still be imprisoned.
- BizarroLand 3y agoNot necessarily. Bail bonds can be secured with other assets like a house, or a bail bondsperson can secure that bond for a fixed fee, which can be a few percent of the total amount. If you are bonded out and work with the court, then your guarantee is returned to you (minus bail bond fees if you used a bondsperson). Otherwise, your assets are seized and if you are using a bondsperson, you now owe them the full amount of the bond.
