You (usually via family members) would pay them 10% toward your bond amount, and they, in turn, secure your release. If you show up for court as required, your bond is released, the bondsman keeps his 10%, and you complete your trial. If you do not show up for court, the state comes back to the bondsman for the full amount of bond. In that case, the bondsman comes after you for it (usually via bounty hunter).
