If the arrested person does not have enough cash or property to meet the face amount of bail, they can hire a bail agent, sometimes known as a "bondsman." The bail agent undertakes to obtain the accused person's release in exchange for a fee of 8-10% of the bond's face value. In addition, the arrested person must supply a co-signor who will be responsible for the whole sum of the bond.
The bail agency delivers the bond to the jail, and the detained person is freed from detention when the price has been agreed, and a co-signor agrees to bear responsibility for the bail.
