The History And Purpose Of Bail
Bail isn’t a contemporary concept. The American court system actually adopted bail from Britain where the basic concept of bail dates all the way back to the Middle Ages.
The reason the whole concept of bail was created was because tax payers have never wanted to fund people’s prison stays, especially if there was a chance the person might be found innocent of the charges. The tax payers preferred that the accused continue to work and pay their own expenses while they waited for their trail.
The problem with this was that once the accused was let go, they had very little incentive to attend their court hearing. Many fled the country as soon as they were released from jail. Creating a bail system, which required the accused to give the court money or assets that would be held until the scheduled trial was the best solution.
Today, little has changed. The biggest difference is that the amount of money needed for bail has increased, otherwise, things pretty much remain the same.
When you’re arrested, a judge decides how much bail is needed to secure your release from jail. As soon as you’ve turned over the amount, you’re released. At the official conclusion of your case, you’ll get the bail money back.
